“We have looked first at man with his vanities and greed and his problems of a day or a year; and then only, and from this biased point of view, we have looked outward at the earth he has inhabited so briefly and at the universe in which our earth is so minute a part.

“Making information free is survivable so long as only limited numbers of people are disenfranchised. As much as it pains me to say so, we can survive if we only destroy the middle classes of musicians, journalists, and photographers. What is not survivable is the additional destruction of the middle classes in transportation, manufacturing, energy, office work, education, and health care. And all that destruction will come surely enough if the dominant idea of an information economy isn't improved.” PeopleIfsLongIdeasEnoughCarePainEnergyNumbersClassEconomyMiddleInformationOfficeMusicianDestructionPhotographerHealth CareJournalistMiddle ClassDominantManufacturingTransportationDisenfranchisedOffice Work Book:Who Owns the Future?
