Biomimicry, ecology media and organic media

There are flood of all these devices in which information is provided just on time, just on need and in a seamless manner with natural gestures. There is yet something to be found in those devices. Its something I experience while meditating 4:30 A.M. in the morning, while playing physical(real) sport, while hiking, while biking, while being with nature. What is that natural media offers and that digital media yet does not offer?
I think possible solutions lie in the field of biomimicry, ecology media and organic media. The last one is something which came off the top of my mind after years of practice of meditation and pranayama. The difference between digital interactions and natural interactions that I find most of the time are
Digital Interactions provides addictiveness in the environment. I can anticipate about what I need, the information, the people, the color and so on.
On the other hand Natural interactions takes time and effort to gain some result. The result is the most unique experience. Its not the addictive one but the unique experience.
So should digital interactions involve unique experiences? I think the answer is certainly yes. Because after all we, our body is made up of organic material and for us to interact fluidly, more organically the interactions should be more natural over time. They should involve some effort, some area of unknowings, some mystery. The humaness of technology.
After all we all question, what is the mystery behind the universe? and that very question drives us forward to look out for the mystery and it reveals over time.
In short, nature is inspiration not only in terms of physical biomimcing but also in terms of process, design and inner engineering.
