Fourteen-year-old Casey Schwartz:

Facebook takes up my whole life.

If I'm not watching TV, I'm on my phone. If I'm not on my phone, I'm on my computer. If I'm not doing any of those things, what am I supposed to do?

There are great benefits to connectedness, but we haven't wrapped our minds around the costs.

Jonathan Safran Foer:

Technology celebrates connectedness, but encourages retreat. The flow of water carves rock, a little bit at a time. And our personhood is carved, too, by the flow of our habits. I worry that the closer the world gets to our fingertips, the further it gets from our hearts.

Tim Maly:

"We apologize for any offence our algorithms may have caused" is right up there with "the motive of the algorithm is still unclear" as strange markers of a strange time.
