I explore the relationship between technology and society from the perspectives of philosophy, cultural theory, and sociology. I am particularly interested in how digital media—including computers, the internet, smartphones, and generative AI—have been received and incorporated into people’s lives. While the “newness” of these technologies is often emphasized, I also seek ways to reconsider the diverse forms and unrealized possibilities that have consequently become obscured or lost.
