Whenever I read an article like this, I think about a question I often asked in meetings, seminars, and conferences for several years, "What is high-tech?"  No good answers so far.  Technology is the application of basic science and that tells me there is no high or low tech.  There is just technology, regardless of whether we are using a billion computers to help us to find another earth or one computer to determine the best feed mix to improve the health of our pets.   We throw around the acronym STEM and it does excite some of our young people to consider the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, but it is a convenient expression. 
 This begs the question of the arts and artful expressions, that some studies have shown to enhance the learning and adaptation of science and math.
