"Schnell wird der Einzelne Opfer des Mobs; die Gefahr von Wiki-Lynchjustiz halte ich für sehr real. In der Wikipedia-Welt bestimmen jene die Wahrheit, die am stärksten besessen sind.

"We should treat computers as fancy telephones, whose purpose is to connect people. Information is alienated experience. Information is not something that exists. Indeed, computers don't really exist, exactly; they're only subject to human interpretation. This is a strong primary humanism I am promoting. As long as we remember that we ourselves are the source of our value, our creativity, our sense of reality, then all of our work with computers will be worthwhile and beautiful."

"If anything, there's a reverse Moore's Law observable in software: As processors become faster and memory becomes cheaper, software becomes correspondingly slower and more bloated, using up all available resources."
