We are everyday manipulated by things we believe are here to make our life easier.
We are every day used by the Internet instead of using it. The slave has become the master.

But technology is here just to facilitate.
We are the tool handlers.
Not the tools.
We are the subjects.
Not the objects.

Your power is only a click away.
(Don’t) Use it wisely…

Stop using things, if you do not want to be used…
Stop needing things, if you do not want to turn into one…
