Techne: Art is power

“Technology has been a purpose in itself for too long. Technology should serve mankind, and not the other way around.”

“Did you know that our word for technology comes from Old Greek and originally meant “art”? No? It gets even better: Western civilization is founded on the achievements of a couple of guys 400 before Christ. 50,000 people (population of Athens at the time) defined what we consider as “obvious” or “logic”.

These beautiful words are from: New Athens or What Internet workers can learn from the old Greeks.

The way out (this sign is real art)
