I’ll tell you what the Watts reading ALSO reminded me of. Myself. That is to say, the concepts I was interested in last year in art: Our dependence on stuff, namely, technology.

Technology has become our nature, what we depend on.

That was my unit 3 piece for Art, It’s supposed to show how we have become so dependent on technology, it’s like a part of nature now, it’s integral to our world. It allows us to live, like the sun does (on the monitor), and it has very strong roots. The other plants in the picture; the strangler fig, willow, succulents and the tree whose roots were inspired by mangrove, all are known to take over their environment and are impossible to get rid of, like technology and our dependence on electricity. Once we are living with it, we cant live without it. So the reading, in particular the first part of it, I found really interesting.
