poor planning, like a night flight into the wilderness, with wolves following, coyotes howling, but strangely no tangible fears except for the rooted one of home-less-ness. did the nomad ever fear that? doubtful. The nomad fears only the city and immobility! the howl of the coyote, who laughs anyway at most of the world, is not a chilling energy, but a firing, stirring, generating source. And watching the stars is a source of wisdom.

We have to decode the affect of the attenuative force that any technology applies to human relation. After decoding it, we need to articulate its shape in a conscious praxis which, at the same time it acknowledges the affect, pushes through the affect to reach out to a human Other. And, if the attenuation applied by the technology destroys our perceived abilities to humanely connect with the Other, we need to drop the technology. period.

Maintaining consistency ... is the work of standards. Standards are socially constructed tools: They embody the outcomes of negotiations that are simultaneously technical, social, and political in character. Like algorithms, they serve to specify exactly how something will be done. Ideally, standardized processes and devices always work, no matter where, what, or who applies them. Consequently, some elements of standards can be embedded in machines and systems. When they work, standards lubricate the construction of technological systems and make possible widely shared knowledge.
