Augusten Burroughs Quotes About Internet

Quotes about: Internet

• I don't worry about anything in the Internet age. I have been online since I was aware of it: 1985 in San Francisco. It has changed everything in my life. I would not want to even be alive in an era that did not have it because it is essential to our evolution as a species.

But the other side of it is that it equalizes you and if you happen to be a person who is not equal in the eyes of the greater society that's a damn good thing.

  Augusten Burroughs

Therefore, we kind of need [Internet] not to keep tabs on everybody but we need to give them access to everybody else.

• I think that the Internet is our most profound and beautiful achievement. It is magnificent. We have the Internet as a layer of our thinking that doesn't control us, we control it, yet we don't have to be aware of it. It will be like a suit that really fits well.

  Augusten Burroughs
