The Subtle Mark
Is there a human presence, or a subtle mark in contemporary digital communication? Did we lose the essence and beauty of the handwritten note; first with the typewriter, then with email, and now with the text-message? Have we flattened language and sacrificed tone? Have we traded true human interaction for immediacy and a false sense of connection, or are we on the cusp of understanding and mastering a new means of being closer?
