You'll note that the four things Adobe's Michael Gough talks about are not technologies. Sure, they are made possible or enhanced by technologies. But he focusses on the doing (connecting, interacting) and the capacity (mobility, size) not on a device or an app just as we focus on writing and not a pencil and paper.

"The essence of technology is by no means anything technological..." Heidegger says in his essay, The Question Concerning Technology. "Thus," he continues, "we shall never experience our relationship to the essence of technology so long as we merely conceive and push forward the technological, put up with it, or evade it."

Time to start up that Heidegger reading group I've been promising!
