Technology is the undisputed champion of efficiency. Tasks that were once complex and time-consuming are now completed in the blink of an eye. But there is a downside to an abundance of technology.

He believes there is a better way to improve our lives through a combination of technology and intuition, and by exploring the random and unexpected.
