‘‘Let things of computers be of computers, and things of humans be of humans.’’


‘‘robots-androids will never have a borrowed spirit like ours that keeps them alive and their existence will never be as transcendental as our existence’’


‘‘Let us become more mature humans using computers as tools, and become less as computers, --working without rest for the big companies for free’’


‘‘Once I thought that I could get away physically of everybody, taking with me my computer and a network connection, God, I was so wrong... because face to face community is irreplaceable.’’ 


‘‘Please! more fresh air and less monitors, less entertainment and more worthy content… less noise on every way and more time for meditation and appreciation of intellectual art, nature and Scripture’’


‘‘computers live to work without rest. We should only work to survive and then LIVE’’   


‘‘Humans are like highly complex beautiful machines programmed to fail for a season, so to be able to develop great  programs, like one called: ‘humility’ or another called: ‘fear of God’’’

Yes indeed - fail for a season. I must be on a long season.

Yes, so much to think about in all that information... For me, 'artificial intelligence' is a good example of humans not having free will. That is one of the main reasons that this themes attract me so much, plus; for trying to be prepare for what is coming.

I guess the most difficult lesson with all this computers, tvs, and the ''allmighty'' Internet, is to totally dominate them and not let them control us.

Mmmm, that will be a bit difficult Moises, seeing that we cannot do "that much now" without them  However, we can moderate/lessen our time we spend watching TV, I have cut down considerebly these last years since I found BT!!
