Lauren Myracle technologykidsbook I accept the proposition that there has been a significant improvement in underlying productivity growth in the United States, that it is very closely tied to improvements in information and communications technology, and that it is likely to spread around the world. But I resist the new economy label because it seems to encourage a disrespect for the old rules that could seriously undermine our success in taking advantage of the new opportunities.

But this reassuring analysis is out of date. Laurent Fabius technologywould-belong You can do great things with low-tech stuff. Laurie Anderson technologystufflows Computers are so deeply stupid. What bother me most when they talk about technology is they don't realize how much more exciting their minds are. That machine is stupid. And boring. It does just a few things and then it'll crash.

It gives dinosaurs a veto over the future. It wastes the extraordinary opportunity for a democratic creativity that digital technology enables. Lawrence Lessig creativitytechnologyopportunity But it is as silly to think about peer-to-peer as applying just to music as it would have been to think about the Internet as applying just to pornography.
