As you grow older, it becomes harder to feel 100 percent happy; you learn all the things that can go wrong, you become superstitious about tempting fate, about bringing disaster upon your life by accidentally feeling too good one day.

In the same way you can never go backward to a slower computer, you can never go backward to a lessened state of connectedness.

Nobody cares about worthiness. People care about what is real inside of you.

A good piece of technology dreams of the day when it will be replaced by a newer piece of technology. This is one definition of progress.

Do you ever just want to take your car out onto the highway and gun the engine as fast as you can and then close your eyes and see what happens?

I really do force myself to not be fully engaged with all the technology at once, just because I have an addictive personality and I get too into it.
