“Technology does not create learning just as a hammer does not make a house. Technology simplifies or amplifies our learning capacity. A microscope enables us to see the micro world. A telescope helps us see the macro world. It is not the microscope or telescope that sees. The two instruments are just accessories for our eyes. It is we who see through our human capacity of visual perception. Too much obsession with technology is like trying to design a house with a hammer in hand.”

“As a computer scientist, I make a living helping to advance the cutting edge of the digital world. Like many in my field, I’m enthralled by the possibilities of our techno-future. But I’m also convinced that we cannot unlock this potential until we put in the effort required to take control of our own digital lives—to confidently decide for ourselves what tools we want to use, for what reasons, and under what conditions. This isn't reactionary, it’s common sense.”

“Technology, it must be recognized, is not a solitary track of advancement. It is not a prefigured path which manifests in time, nor a hard-coded progression in which technologies unlock over time with sufficient resources and research. Each technology has an explicit purpose, operating conditions and set of skills that make certain human activities possible or more convenient. Technological progress is thus open-ended.”
