Not every advance is progress. Not every new thing is better for us humanly.

I think few people of education enter politics because it seems like a contact blood sport.

There are moments of opportunity for families; moments they need to put technology away. These include: no phones or texting during meals. No phones or texting when parents pick up children at school - a child is looking to make eye contact with a parent!

I love sharing photographs and websites, I'm for all of these things. I'm for Facebook. But to say that this is sociability? We begin to define things in terms of what technology enables and technology allows.

We're lonely, but we're afraid of intimacy. And so from social networks to sociable robots, we're designing technologies that will give us the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship.

We are not as strong as technology's pull.

Not every advance is progress. Not every new thing is better for us humanly.
