monochrome image from a slide deck. on it is a black rectangle with white writing that reads: "we have been conditioned to believe that gadgets for everyone just rain from the sky" overlaid on top of a figure that can't be made out
monochrome, not anti-aliased image from a slide deck. there are many things overlaid on top of eachother. in the foreground, there is written "that which cannot be repaired is already broken." behind it are a kanji i don't know, an icon of a wrench and some gears, an image of a man at a chalkboard (it's andrey kolmogorov but you can't tell from the image), and some blocked out text that starts with "advantages of simple tooling".
