Because Quote by Ryan Trecartin

“I think technology is us, not something we invented. I think we are more psychic now because we have cell phones and you can look and see who's calling you. When people start seeing technology as us, as humanity, our whole idea of what existence is, is going to shift.” quote by Ryan Trecartin
