arts in cyber era

I am a software engineer by profession, I love the geek stuff, I like high resolution cameras and the sleek macs. For me, Steve Jobs and Linus Torvalds are the greatest people alive.
But at heart, I feel an excitement and soft corner for the hand-painted crafts, wooden artifacts, black and white small photographs. I just feel hands were made to draw and not click the keyboard...the ears are made to listen to the raw records and not the digitally modified hi-fi sounds. But at the same time, I know that there is a harmony between the yearning artist and the magical techies. If it was not for geniuses like Ustad Zakir Hussain, A R Rahman, Steven Spielberg, too much technology would have engulfed the creative and artistic regime long back. There are still fools who think that high technique can cover up the bad story in a movie or ugly lyrics in a song or crappy OS on a windows PC!
I believe every person has an artist in him, whatever the form be. I have not seen any person with no eye for any beauty. Steve Jobs took a calligraphy class in his school and he owes the beautiful mac fonts to them. This is to say that imagination and creativity has taken its own share from the technology growth in a significant and wise manner. Also, it wouldn't be wrong to say that one who couldn't befriend the technology couldn't flourish as well. Art is the mother of all studies and technology complements it in some aspects. For me, I like to see them develop hand-in-hand without engulfing each other. I still love the naturally photographed wallpapers better than the digitally created once (mostly that is). However, from other perspective I can say that technology is always going to be dependent on arts. You will always develop technologies that can enhance arts that people like and practice. Enhanced digital cameras are developed because people like photography, noise cancelling headphones are a hit because people love music!
I would just pray to God to always keep the artistic instincts of man above his zest for technology, and help him maintain this fine balance of natural and artifical.
