It is important to be cautious about technology:
“There will come a time when it isn't 'They're spying on me through my phone' anymore. Eventually, it will be 'My phone is spying on me'.”
(Philip K. Dick)

But we must not let fear blind extinguish the possibilities that technology may open up:
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
(Arthur C. Clarke, “Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination.” 1973)

“[Computers] are useless. They can only give you answers.”
(Pablo Picasso quoted in The Paris Review 32 of Summer-Fall 1964)
