C is for Computers

C is for Computers (and what would we do without them these days?

What a computer is to me

is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with.

It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.

       Steve Jobs

Your computer is a backup of your soul

 oa multilayered, menu-driven representation of who you are,

who you care about and how you sin.

Michael Marshall

With the internet, a computer is a door 

rather than a box.

Clay Shirrey

Terrified of being alone, yet afraid of intimacy,

we experience widespread feelings of emptiness,

of disconnection, of the unreality of self.

And here the computer, a companion without emotional 

demands offers a compromise.

You can be a loner but never alone.

Sherry Turkle
