I hate all electronic things that are supposed to help the human being. You don't smell, you don't hear, you don't touch anymore.

I hate iPods.

In barely one generation, we've moved from exulting in the time-saving devices that have so expanded our lives to trying to get away from them - often in order to make more time. The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug.

I don't really love computers.

Until you use the iPad for a couple of weeks, you can't appreciate it. But it quickly becomes your primary consumption device.

I don't know if I've owned a piece of technology that I hated - I don't think I would have owned it then.

We all know the feeling of surrendering to the embedded biases of our devices. We let our cell phones ping us every time there's an incoming message and check our e-mail even when we'd best pay attention to what's going on around us in the real world. We text while driving.

I don't try to attach myself to technology so much. I'm on my phone a lot, though, but in the off season, I try to get away from it as much as I can.

For me, one of the downfalls of electronic music is that it can feel a little soulless or robotic.
