Craig Mod, Things Become Other Things: A Walking Memoir

“The truth is no online database will replace your newspaper,� he claimed. “Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Internet. Uh, sure.� Stoll captured the prevailing skepticism of a digital world full of “interacting libraries, virtual communities, and electronic commerce� with one word: “baloney.”
Kevin Kelly, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future

“The accretion of tiny marvels can numb us to the arrival of the stupendous. Today,”
Kevin Kelly, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future

“We are surrounded with people who think that what we have been doing for that one-fortieth of a second can go on indefinitely. They are considered normal, but they are stark, raving mad.”

“The Land Run should be called something like “Chaos Explosion Apocalypse Town� or “Reckoning of the DoomSettlers: Clusterfuck on the Prairie.”
