A message from the Director
“I am the last of the analogs. That feels strange to write, but it’s true. I was born in 1981. I had to memorize the phone numbers of friends and family, research with actual encyclopedias, order food with humans, and have awkward conversations with people at airports and in elevators. A lot has changed in my lifetime. The most important change I noticed is the transfer of trust. We used to be more trusting of each other and cautious of technology. Now, we are more cautious of each other and more trusting of technology.” -David Donnelly from “The Last of the Analogs”
