Description

The swearing in of the 45th President of the United States must be a great irony for technologists. Could it be that in democratizing the technological tools of creative production, we inadvertently created the million alternative facts and Pepe memes of bias-confirmation, tribalism and culture-jamming we were meant to oppose? Be it resolved: technology is always an ennobling force.
