Author Tom Mahon has observed the growth of the digital revolution from "ground zero" in Silicon Valley for the last 40 years. And he is alarmed at the way the tools we have created to make our lives better, have taken our lives over, instead. Up until 400 years ago, we lived in a magical world.  Now, we live in a material world devoid of meaning. At this talk at the German-Russian Forum in Berlin, Mahon urges us to go beyond magical/materialistic thinking and move to a world of meaning: everything is interconnected (if you do damage over here, it is going to come out over there).  It is time to take back our tools.
