    We do seem devoid of creativity.
    I am at my best when I am free and inspired to create something.
    I view my tools as an extension of myself

    Yes, agreed! But why the vulgarity at the start? Not creative use of language. The passionate intensity is real, though.
    Wish we could take our past time back from where it has been wasted.

    I agree with this. I tell my kids, all the time, your creativity is going to put you ahead of your peers in every way possible.

    That’s probably a huge part of why I decided to major in theater. I felt stifled. I do love theater but it was also a rebellious act when everyone is majoring in business and technology.

    Why people always bashing on Mark Zuckerberg? FaceBook and other creations from his companies have greatly increased my quality of life and those around me and billions of others too!

Most of the technology powering life in Europe today — chatbots, the cloud, digital infrastructure — is owned by companies in the United States. Writer and curator Bruno Giussani makes the case that Europe’s reliance on American technology has crossed the line from convenient to risky. His answer isn’t to go it alone, but to build something the continent currently lacks: a real alternative, rooted in a different model. “Technology that does not spy on you — that should be Europe’s digital difference,” he says.
