Together, these readings offer an interesting view of where the pace of technology has gotten us thus far and which technologies will be carried into the future.  Stewart Brand’s article says that some technologies will continue hurtling forward, while others will (and perhaps should) stay more static.  A change in technology may offer a faster or more efficient way of completing a task, but in the case of CAD in “The Craftsman,” there is sometimes something lost when the artistic manner is pushed to the background.  When a human spends time replicating every details of a project, they get to know it intimately, and understand what the end result will be better than anyone looking at a screen could.  Too many times, there is a comprehensive scale missing.  The Accelerate Manifesto, however, points of that because emerging technologies cost money, advances only occur when they are in the best interest of a capitalist- run society.  If it is not profitable, it will not move forward.
