Art is drama. Any relationship to art is also a relationship to death.

For all the sophistication of GPS, there still remain numerous problems with their use. The most obvious problem in this context is the problem of landmines. For example, when the French troops went into Kosovo they were told that they were going to enter in half-tracks, over the open fields. But their leaders had forgotten about the landmines. And this was a major problem because, these days, landmines are no longer localized.

The ideals of technological culture remain underdeveloped and therefore outside of popular culture and the practical ideals of democracy.

It is, then, imperative to develop a democratic technological culture.
