I've told a dark story. The truth is more mixed. A technology has given us a new freedom. Slowly, some begin to understand that this freedom need not mean anarchy.

It must act to free culture. Soon, if this potential is ever to be realized.
Lawrence Lessig

Richard M. Stallman
In this century, technology will concentrate on the brain, whose heavenly potential, is yet to be realized.
Talal Abu-Ghazaleh

Paul Virilio
