• It has its own laws of evolution, but we can influence it to get what we need
• It consists of many different things and beings, from beautifully singing birds to evil eyes burning in the night
• We can try to fight it, to tame it or to ignore it, but in any case the mutual influence will exist
• We are part of the world if technology, and it is a part of us, part of our lives
