Great Moments in Opposing Technology

If men learn writing, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks; what you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. - Plato, complaining about pens

Abundance of books makes men less studious; it destroys memory and enfeebles the mind by relieving it of too much work. -Hieronimo Squarciafico, complaining about the printing press

The webbed mind has to struggle to understand Torah. There are those who sit at home and click and click into oblivion. - R. Ephraim Wachsman, complaining about the Internet
