Selected quotes from Activity 01:
![Quotes from this week's Activity 01
"A digital world is also going to help education. […] A better world is made out of education.“ (Negroponte)
"People spend their lives very connected, but also very alone. And that in some ways reminds me of what it's like to be in the city, where you have a lot of weak ties. A lot of ties on the basis of hi, hi, hi, hi. But yet you feel at the end of the day, who do I really know, who's really there for me.” (Shlain)
“I think privacy is an illusion anyways, so i'm not as worried as other people because I felt privacy never existed anyways. I think anything I put, that I type out is public.” (Shlain)
“Analogue and digital live together in a single world, that’s the way it is.” (Antunez)
“There weren’t many social changes because people were talking about the tools, and these tools don’t get socially interesting until they get technologically boring.” (Shirky)
“The broadband coming into your apartment should be regulated in the same way that the water coming into your apartment is.” (Todd)
“What we see now are these people that are using their tools to synchronize their opinions that we all agree on.” (Shirky)
“Everyone shifted in the same way that everyone shifted in the industry revolution. Even the people that left behind the farm during the move to cities and the rise of the steam engine. Even the people left behind on the farm left behind had their lives changed. Even the people who are not using not using computers, who don’t have cell phones in their pockets, not using the internet are going to have their lives altered and are now having their lives altered by this change.” (Shirky)](https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/mtec1101-hd88-sp2023/files/2023/02/MTEC1101-HD88-Spring2023-A01-in-class_quotes-1.png)
