Ancient peoples had to wait to see a rainbow!  Now technology can provide on demand experiences, often virtual, that more primitive peoples might NEVER have had including long distance communication, violence, pornography and much more.  But are we better for this?

Just seeing a rainbow doesn't automatically bring understanding, wisdom, or an appreciation for beauty.  For many people the thrill of an experience may be sufficient.  But in the past a few did gain understanding, wisdom, or appreciation from their experiences.  Modern culture is the product of those people.  This site is devoted to the belief that it is possible for most of us to gain understanding, wisdom, appreciation, and even useful skills when experiences provided by technology are appropriately presented.
