We don't need to reject or disparage technology. We need to put it in its place.

In the area of robotics and in the area of connectivity, technology is offering us things that we are vulnerable to - and we have to have a better response than a shrug.

The kind of solitude that refreshes and restores is very important, not just for children, not just for adolescents, but for all of us. If you don't teach your children how to be alone they will only be able to be lonely.

We are not as strong as technology's pull.

Technology proposes itself as the architect of our intimacies.

The feeling that 'no one is listening to me' make us want to spend time with machines that seem to care about us.

Networked, we are together, but so lessened are our expectations of each other that we can feel utterly alone. And there is the risk that we come to see others as objects to be accessed—and only for the parts we find useful, comforting, or amusing.
