Some of the best things come in small doses - take Fawlty Towers, for example, one of the funniest sitcoms ever, and they only made 12.
John Cleese said he put everything it needed in those 12 episodes.

Nb. I don't agree... I was just trying to see if I could make sense of JK's argument.
In the modern day we are exposed to much more art (assuming TV and other media still count as art) and technology. In some areas, they still influence each other greatly, in others they still don't.
I think this whole article boils down to misplaced generalisations.
What he's trying to say, I think, is that from the outside (i.e. by non-artists and non-scientists), Art and Technology were considered as different things.
When one looked at art, one didn't necessarily appreciate the technology behind it (although the artist did). And when one was introduced to new technology, the artistic roots or applications weren't necessarily obvious.
They probably don't want to have to support the customers that would get one - "my cue:cat doesn't understand the barcode on my baked beans.. whine whine whine"
They may well want to sever their relationship with the digital:convergence to, and smashing the things to bits is a great way to send that message.

For centuries, art and technology have been considered separate parts of culture
