A traditional article of use relates to the human-body. It?s an extension of the own self and the human scale. To give an example I take the hammer. This tool is very real and basic, consisting out of basic materials. Metal and wood. The shape is related to the hand and the weight to the rest of the body. It is clear and defined. The ?new? tool (computer) is also related to the human body and an extension of the own self. It however doesn?t have any human scale. As if it is immaterial. An abstraction part of a commercial domain.

I don?t feel physically connected with- or emotionally bonded to the thing.
