I think technology can be considered as a form of art. For example, cameras are more accurate and faster, they are the invention of human beings as well as the fruit of our inspiration. However, when people paint with their hands, they are perhaps getting more satisfaction from their hard work. Therefore, when traditional ways of painting or modern photography co-exist with technology, the combination is one that promises great possibilities, as well as surprises.
