Bonds and Bindings

Totally lifted out of context to sharpen the image of being bound:

My own feeling is that as we interact with any artifact, any device, we become bound to it.

Mark Pesce, co-creator of VRML, in an interview Meme 2.14

A shade of McLuhan and the prosthetic theory of technology but subtly different since being bound to is not the same as being bonded to.

And so for day 554
