Does Technology significantly impact our entertainment or has our art finally paved the way for our future? It is an argument that has been talked about for decades. Here at State of Stance we believe that technology is a product of movies. Most of what we’ve come to know as advancements in technology have all been the inspiration of someone’s creative mind for a movie or entertainment program of sorts.
