Penn Jillette, Penn & Teller Quote

"Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, 'Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not?' But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained (or looking at art) is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision."
