THE REST IS IN THE COMMENTS :)
“It’s beautiful. May I touch it?” His hand hovering over the outstretched wing, one eyebrow raised questioningly.
The light in Gregory’s eyes dimmed slightly. He wasn’t going to buy. People never asked to touch if they were going to buy, they waited till they got it home and then they stroked and caressed in privacy. They only asked to touch an object if they knew they’d never see it again, and wanted to fix the experience in their minds.
“Sure,” he said, “go ahead.”
The man’s fingers swept lightly over the bird’s wing, tracing the lines of the inner vane, the outer vane, the primary and secondary remiges. He stroked down the thorax, right down to the spindly, gnarled legs on which it perched.
“It’s extraordinary,” he said, “it’s just so…”
“Lifelike?” offered Gregory.
“Lifelike. The lightness of the feathers. The tension in the legs. Even the shine in the eye. It’s a stunning piece of work. You should be very proud.”
Gregory smiled, but said nothing. He turned his attention back to the piece he was working on: a sparrowhawk, its outstretched form just beginning to emerge from the block of lime clamped to his workbench. He laid down the adze he’d been using to shape the upper curve of the beak, and switched to a riffler to begin on the fine detail.
“You really seem to have a feel for these birds’ anatomy.”
Gregory nodded. “Yes, I know how they’re put together. The bones, the muscles, the tendons. You can’t carve a bird unless you really understand how they work, how the underlying structure connects everything together.”
“So delicate,” he said, stroking the wing feathers. “But these claws, this sharp beak… birds of prey are vicious too, right?”
Gregory looked up. “Vicious? Only out of necessity. Animals kill only to eat.”
“Really?” The man started to smile. “Have you seen a cat with a mouse? A fox slaughtering chickens? I’d argue that the prime motivation for random acts of evil is not survival, but mischief.”
The man wandered around the crowded workshop, letting his fingers brush lightly over the array of eagles, falcons, kestrels and hawks. “And you only do birds?”
” ‘Only’?” queried Gregory. “That’s like saying to Puccini, ‘You only write operas?’ A bird isn’t just a bird. Every bird is different. I ‘only’ carve birds, yes. Birds are my life. My fingers translate flight into wood.”
“And I bet you’d love to be able to fly, right?”
Gregory laid down his tools and studied the man for the first time. In his early 60s, hair thinning, a slight paunch. Round horn rimmed glasses that made him look like he’d walked out of a wartime movie.
“Seriously? I’d give a year of my life for five minutes’ flight. Like a bird, not in a contraption. I’ve been up in planes, microlights, balloons. I’ve even been strapped to a hangglider and jumped off a cliff. But that’s not real flight. It’s a cheap imitation. I’d give anything to experience what it’s like to fly like an eagle.”
“Anything?” The man leaning closer, dropping his voice to a whisper.
“Anything.”
“In that case, I might just be able to help you.”
The man stepped forward, stretched out his arms, and gently placed his upturned hands beneath Gregory’s elbows. Then, with surprising force, he gave a strong, hard shove upwards. Gregory felt himself being thrust into the air, crashing through the flimsy wooden roof of the workshop. In a couple of seconds he was hundreds of feet up, looking down at his distant workshop and the upturned face of the man gazing up at him, smiling broadly.
As he started to tumble back to earth, Gregory reflexively spread his limbs to slow himself down — and found he had sprouted a vast pair of feathered wings. He glided for a while, caught a thermal, and found himself flying up once more.
Gingerly at first, he tried flapping the wings, and discovered that his powerful new shoulder muscles were able to lift him even higher. He could feel each tendon pulling him aloft, could sense the wind rushing through each feather, could gauge with unnerving precision the air currents that would raise him up or drag him down.
For several minutes Gregory swooped and climbed, flapped and glided, probing each new experience and mentally logging the process. This was how it felt to bank into a breeze; this was what it was like to rise on a current of warm air, effortlessly lifting into the sky as each thermal carried him upwards. This was how it felt to plummet, to check, to rise again. He could feel each muscle, each tendon, pulling and reacting to the infinitely variable densities of the medium of the air. In five minutes he’d gained more insight into the workings of avian anatomy than in twenty years studying textbooks.

how has the understanding of what is protected speech changed as technology has changed
Answer:
Using Apps to Start a Discussion
More businesses than ever before are turning to apps to increase marketability, sales, and customer interactions. The way custom apps are built now use a platform where customers can talk to, interact with, and review businesses or companies they like to see more of. Apps made for reviews especially have come in handy. It’s a place where people speak their mind, discuss a business or products and recommend it to others. Creating a whole new world of business.
Security and Privacy
Recent revelations regarding issues of online and digital privacy are still making waves. Government-sponsored wiretapping programs, massive digital surveillance, and even less organized efforts are fast becoming a major issue. Balancing privacy and security concerns against freedom of expression continues to be a turbulent issue, one that has attracted vocal proponents on both sides of the issue.
Free Speech and Education
A free and open exchange of ideas through a digital medium has had quite an impact on the world of education. From online courses covering a range of topics, to debates regarding the nature of free speech and law seminars like Talks on Law that can be viewed online, the digital age is changing both the way we communicate and educate each other. Free speech and new technology that make it easier to connect and share ideas have the potential to cause even more changes within the world of education.
Future Trends
The rapid pace of technological advancement can make predicting future trends a difficult undertaking. New innovation, greater access to conventional technologies and new communications resources have the potential to create significant changes in the days to come. Digital technology has made it possible for people to communicate with greater ease than ever before, and future trends that embrace the value of free and open expression may foster greater changes than can be imagined right now. Understanding how technology has changed and shaped the way we communicate could provide valuable insight into what changes and exciting new trends the future may bring.
