Humans change themselves through technology.

If anything, there's a reverse Moore's Law observable in software: As processors become faster and memory becomes cheaper, software becomes correspondingly slower and more bloated, using up all available resources.

Anonymous blog comments, vapid video pranks and lightweight mash-ups may seem trivial and harmless, but as a whole, this widespread practice of fragmentary, impersonal communication has demeaned personal interaction.

When developers of digital technologies design a program that requires you to interact with a computer as if it were a person, they ask you to accept in some corner of your brain that you might also be conceived of as a program.

Our times demand rejection of seven word bios.

If you're old enough to have a job and to have a life, you use Facebook exactly as advertised, you look up old friends.

Funding a civilization through advertising is like trying to get nutrition by connecting a tube from one’s anus to one’s mouth.
