Technology is not killing creativity. If it was‚ then Les Paul’s invention of the electric guitar‚ Bob Moog’s invention of the synthesizer‚ Kusek et al.’s invention of MIDI‚ Pro Tools’ inventor as well as every effects pedal or electronic music enhancing piece of gear would have to be part of this destructive force.
