Technology is a fascinating force in our world today. It touches almost every aspect of our lives, and extends to nearly every corner of the globe. Technology has the power to keep us connected, but also has the power to isolate. It keeps us moving, but can render us motionless (Netflix, much?).

As photographers, we’re keenly aware of how technology helps us preserve moments and memories; of how it powers both innovation and creativity. For our most recent Photo Quest, “Technology Today“, we asked you to capture and share the role technology plays in your life – and you’ve more than met the challenge!

We’re blown away by the creative ways in which you’ve captured “Technology Today.” Here are 40 of our favorite submissions so far:
