"So much of the technology we take for granted serves to amplify. It broadcasts sound louder and wider; it internsifies and spreads illumination; it accelerates travel. Our senses adjust for this...so that we are not deafened or dazed, but experience this supercharged world as though it were normal. In doing so, we reduce out ability to experience sensation offered on a lesser scale. We are perhaps numbed to those little sounds and feelings that a quieter, darker, stiller world would offer."
-Matthew Parris in Inca Cola
