When I'm online, I'm alone in a room, tapping on a keyboard, staring at a cathode-ray tube.

The Internet is a perfect diversion from learning... it opens many doors that lead to empty rooms.

If you really want to know about the future, don't ask a technologist, a scientist, a physicist. No! Don't ask somebody who's writing code. No, if you want to know what society's going to be like in 20 years, ask a kindergarten teacher.

No computer network with pretty graphics can ever replace the salespeople that make our society work.

A box of crayons and a big sheet of paper provides a more expressive medium for kids than computerized paint programs.

Here are my strong reservations about the wave of computer networks. They isolate us from one another and cheapen the meaning of actual experience. They work against literacy and creativity. They undercut our schools and libraries.

The Internet has no such organization - files are made available at random locations. To search through this chaos, we need smart tools, programs that find resources for us.
