“As our experience becomes increasingly digital, the physical scaffolding of computation recedes from sight. The same motherboard that powers the visions of Silicon Valley also structures the intimate surfaces of everyday life. Our relationships with technical objects feel psychological, emotional, even erotic, while the circuitry beneath them dissolves into abstraction. As the process of ‘digitization’ powers through, the motherboard gains ground. Today, even your fridge may be a computer. Your fridge might even address you. Now often equipped not only with computing power but also a mouth, our technical objects enclose us with growing intimacy.”
