We shape our technology and thereafter it shapes us.

Someone told me a story about Churchill and Parliament.

Parliament's main chamber is famously cramped, which puts different factions very close together.

That creates a dense, rich, overlapping discourse.

After the building was bombed in WWII and had to be rebuilt, there were calls to make it bigger.

Churchill pushed back, saying: "We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us"

Even more important for technology.
