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

We're lonely, but we're afraid of intimacy.

Technology proposes itself as the architect of our intimacies.

We... heal ourselves by giving others what we most need.

What I'm seeing is a generation that says consistently, 'I would rather text than make a telephone call.' Why? It's less risky. I can just get the information out there. I don't have to get all involved; it's more efficient. I would rather text than see somebody face to face.

If we don't teach kids how to be alone, they will end up only lonely.

What technology makes easy is not always what nurtures the human spirit.
