“In the face of technology, everything becomes a little atavistic.”– Don DeLillo Related Quotes “I hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren’t consumed by technology and television.”– Jimmy Buffett “I want people to use Perl. I want to be a positive ingredient of the world and make my American history. So, whatever it takes to give away my software and get it used, that’s great.”– Larry Wall “Technologists provide tools that can improve people’s lives. But I want to be clear that I don’t think technology by itself improves people’s lives, since often I’m criticized for being too pro-technology.
