Payphones are
Endangered Devices in the fast lane to extinction. Hybrid, multi-functional and constantly
evolving Smart Phones have become our
communication tools. Many of us spend hours each day on our smartphones; talking, texting, twitting, emailing...
Photography is a
laconic way to communicate.

While technology has made communication much easier, it also has created an
information gluttony. So much is said yet there is so little substance. It has become very difficult to identify and isolate things that are substantial. Every new generation of
Smart Phone, every innovative means of communication is bound to create greater
Information Overload. Our sanity in the
Information Age is going to depend on our ability to keep it
balanced and simple.
- Simplicity without a name, is free from all external aim.
- With no desire, at rest and still, all things go right as of their will.
- -- Tao Te Ching (James Legge translation)
