 ====== The Soft Tool Culture. Who do we think we are! ======
-~~NOTOC~~
 This site will focus on my academic work through which I plan to explain our modernistic techno-culture enslaved by programmable electronics. This page is my flowery pitch.
-I need to talk about how tools are powerful communication media, and how people don't just use tools but incorporate them as a part of their cognitive apparatus. We live in the halo of the reciprocity of our minds and our tools inter-operating. I can then talk about the ultimate tool, software, and how it exists because of who we are, which is largely a product of our own devising. I'm attracted by the idea that humans, no matter who or what we think we are, are self-invented, including self-awareness - or what some refer to as consciousness. And the linchpin of this manifestation we present to the universe and ourselves is language, a biologically-grounded attribute which translates meaning into media for sharing. Humans flex and adapt as circumstantial challenges present themselves while constantly upgrading their ability to deal with and control each other and the physical world through new media, which lately amounts to new soft tools - software driven media and, most recently, autonomous agents.

 If my subject is anything, it is multidisciplinary, drawing and combining ideas and narratives from several technical disciplines. This lengthy meander is due to the multi-disciplinarity of my subject as I make my case according to these numerous disciplines.
