"I hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren't consumed by technology and television"

"It's not that we use technology, we live technology"

"The science of today is the technology of tomorrow"

"Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology"

"Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America - not on the battlefields of Vietnam"

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

"It's not just the effect of technology on the environment, on religion, on the economic structure, on society, on politics, etc. It's that everything now exists in technology to the point where technology is the new and comprehensive host of nature of life"

"If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic"

"I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up"

"The printed page conveys information and commitment, and requires active involvement. Television conveys emotion and experience, and it's very limited in what it can do logically. It's an existential experience - there and then gone"
