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.

If we built houses the way we build software, the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization.

Rather than bringing me closer to others, the time that I spend online isolates me from the most important people in my life, my family, my friends, my neighbourhood, my community.

Merely that I have a World Wide Web page does not give me any power, any abilities, nor any status in the real world.

Data is not information, Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not understanding, Understanding is not wisdom.

Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months.

Spending an evening on the World Wide Web is much like sitting down to a dinner of Cheetos, two hours later your fingers are yellow and you're no longer hungry, but you haven't been nourished.
