A parragraph

The Spanish were driven out of New Mexico after the Pueblo revolts of the 1690’s. The domesticated horses they left behind challenged fundamental understandings of time and space. Pueblo culture grapples with that changed comprehension. Similarly the printing press deconsecrated the written word. No longer was the dissemination information the exclusive right of the Church or State. These dramatic changes were not the function of new technology alone, but the transformation of human interaction facilitated by those new tools. We are living in a time of great change. An underlying force facilitating this historic movement, are tools that manifest new ways for people to communicate and organize.
