"...a computer as a research and communication instrument could enhance retrieval, obsolesce mass library organization, retrieve the individual's encyclopedic function and flip into a private line to speedily tailored data of a saleable kind."
— Marshall McLuhan, 1962

"I've been uplinked and downloaded, I've been inputted and outsourced. I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I'm a high-tech lowlife...and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond... so I'm interactive, I'm hyperactive and from time to time I'm radioactive "
