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

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.

Loneliness is failed solitude.

We will continue to live in a form in which we become cyborg. Either we download our information to a machine or we incorporate so many machine parts that we don't know where we end and the machine begins.

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

We're letting [technology] take us places that we don't want to go.

People are lonely. The network is seductive. But if we are always on, we may deny ourselves the rewards of solitude.
