Touchscreen

Written in 2010, "Touchscreen" has been embraced by the tech community as a conversation starter and jumping point to explore technology's role in our lives. Whereas the question used to be, "What CAN technology do for us?," the real question has become, "What SHOULD technology do for us?" How do we balance our expanding online connections with our innate desire for authentic human interaction? Poet, spoken-word artist, and songwriter Marshall Davis Jones challenges us to ask these questions. Marshall Davis Jones found his voice in 2006 at the renowned Nuyorican Poet's Cafe. From there, he has been on a mission to touch the world and inspire others to believe in being human.

His original works have been featured on the BBC World News Network, in two TEDx programs, and in the internationally renowned Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix Arizona.
