| Now, what exactly does that mean, you ask?
Well, as we burrow into the 21st Century, it is becoming
more and more obvious that humankind's technology, the fruit
of our collective labors to understand and master the physical
world, has begun to surpass -- and even, on occasion -- to obliterate
our interaction with the natural world. It is easy, of course,
to condemn this emerging reality -- which is in its' very essence
'unnatural' -- because of the many potentially negative effects
it can have on the individual and society as a whole: Alienation,
Isolation, Disassociation, etc. It is also too easy to proclaim
that emerging mega-communications infrastructures, such as the
Internet, are the ultimate triumpth of the human spirit, a testament
to our ability to interact and create, and serve as the welcome
mat at the foot of the inevitably destined doorway to a technotopia
of automated, electronic bliss -- a totally technology-focused
future of humankind. We at Technotica believe that in this increasingly
bifurcated world, an approach towards understanding -- and of
mastering -- the dawning Technotic age from either of these
extremes is inappropriate and ultimately doomed to failure...
Only by frankly acknowledging the inevitable impact and potential
of technology, and balancing that fact with a healthy respect
and understanding of the immutable, non-technological natural
essence of the universe, can we, as a sentient species, continue
to grow in both intellectual knowledge and emotional wisdom.
The Basis of all Technology is Human Interaction...
And that is why we believe the Technotic world is indeed 'the future of everything.' On
these Web pages, we present a forum for mapping the technotic edge. Technotica.com is both
vehicle and messenger, a showcase for -- and example of -- the union of technology and
creativity. An electronically assembled mind ship, dedicated to exploring the far
boundaries of the humankind's efforts to devine and express the vital essence of being. We
hope you enjoy your visit here, and that you will come back often! We promise to deliver a
continually changing 'window' on the increasingly Technotic world we live in.
We appreciate your interest in Technotica, and encourage your comments and suggestions.
