„Everyone who knew Postman--and I include perhaps a hundred thousand who only heard him speak--knew him first through humor, which was the reflection in person of the satire in most of his books, each of which is a pamphlet, an essay between covers: The Disappearance of Childhood (1982) was satire about the infantalization in American culture. Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985) was satire about entertainmentand what it was doing to us. Technopoly (1993) was satire on the "surrender of culture to technology." One of the first journals he associated with was Monacle (long gone), a magazine of political satire, which is where he met Victor Navasky, publisher of The Nation, which is how he came to serve on The Nation's board, even though he was the world's worst leftist and couldn't stomach the right.“http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/weblogs/pressthink/2003/10/.../ postman_life.html - Cached

„Every invention from the moment it appears in the world creates a disparity of those who have access to the new technology and those who don’t. “The number of people using the internet around the world is booming, despite the global economic troubles, with near 30% growth expected in 2002.The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) predicts the number of users will reach 655 million this year, or one-tenth of the world's population, compared to 500 million in 2001.” BBC (2002)While this is happening, half the world has yet to make a phone call.“Three days from now, the world's population will pass the six billion mark. Five out of those six billion live in developing countries.“http://jimdowning.diaryland.com/030408_85.html - Cached

„Yet we do not work shorter days, for the most part, we don’t make better wages, and if one were to tour a factory, you might find that the working conditions are not all that great either. However the profits are there for the people who own and or control these factories. These are the people who have most all of the advantages in this world.“http://www.earthwidemoth.com/106/.../ cat_np02_from_tools_to_technocracy.html#000094 - Cached

„I noticed my favorite quasi-legal music download site, allofmp3.com now offers downloads using lossless compresssion with thier “Online Encoding Exclusive” program. This is great news and as far as I know the only pay download site offering losslessly compressed songs for mainstream artists. So far it’s just a couple of selections but the list is growing.“http://www.mypuppet.net/archives/ cat_music_and_other_noises.html - Cached
„The Internet provides a level playing field for the whole world and the global community. The Internet has really squeezed the world by demolishing various physical and psychological barriers and reaching every place, any person, anytime at a ‘mouse click’. In the entire human history, no other information tool had such a tremendous power and reach that could really turn the world upside down.“http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20020513/login/ main5.htm - Cached
