Richard Harper explores the sometimes tense relationship between the human desire to communicate & the increasing burdens placed upon us by the technologies we exploit. Arguing that complexity is not always better, he suggest the aim should not be to make communication more efficient, but to enrich the expressive vocabulary of human experience.
