Relatively small physical changes can have enormous social, ecological, and economic impact - look at Hoover Dam . One man can make a difference - look at Jesus , or Hitler . Unfortunately, most people lose sight of their own abilities to change things or never become fully aware of the fact. Their mental energy is spent trying to conform to existing systems rather than improving them or creating new ones to replace those that have become obsolete. People are consumed with manipulating a limited number of systems for personal gain to the point in which their ability to even navigate other more important systems is hindered.
Balance is skewed.
If your child is being raised by the television set because you are more concerned with high fashion, sports, the internet, the stock market, or whatever other system you have become entangled with there is a problem. The universe is a big place - while specialists are needed, generalists are better adapted. I like what these people are doing in the way of pushing the medium and giving us a glimpse into the future of the web.
