The computer is a mind machine. It doesn't have its own psychology, but in a way it presents itself as though it does.

Someday, someday, but certainly not now, I'd like to learn how to have a conversation.

If we're not able to be alone, we're going to be more lonely. And if we don't teach our children to be alone, they're only going to know how to be lonely.

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

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 expect more from technology and less from each other.

When the social network doesn't find it convenient to have privacy, we say, "Okay, social network, you don't want privacy, maybe we won't have it either." But we did this without having the conversation.
