The Age of Contemplative Technology

10/9/2014

How often do we come away from from our apps, social media sites, computers, television, game platforms feeling truly satisfied?  Usually its the opposite; we are drained, disgusted in ourselves for wasting another solid hour scrolling endlessly.

Can we create technology that is designed to make us feel good?

What does it take to make such a tool?

Vincent Horn, Founder of Buddhist Geeks, sat down with me to discuss some of these ideas.

Buddhist Geeks is an organization which seeks to reconnect human awareness to the digital interface. Asking:  How can these two realities merge to create a more happy and self-aware society?

We start with What is Buddhisim for the spiritually cautious and work our way into what contemplative technologies will be presented at this years conference in Boulder, CO

Stay tuned for a full feature of the conference coming later this month.
