"Content and technology are strange bed fellows. We are joined together. Sometimes we misunderstand each other. But isn't that after all the definition of marriage?"
- Howard Stringer

This is similar to a marriage, where 2 individuals are collaborated, but often misinterpret each other. Stringer is recommending that this is a natural part of any relationship, and that it is something that should be accepted and embraced. He is likewise suggesting that material and technology need to be viewed as a partnership, and that both entities need to work together to produce something higher than either might do alone.
