“Technology improves the lives of people who can avoid being
dominated by it and forced into debilitating addictions to it.
Technology allows me to grow and benefit from loving
relationships among friends and family who can now be close
despite geographical distance. Tragically it prevents the addicted
from growing and benefiting from the most exquisite types of
encounter, namely being in the physical and personal presence
of another.”

-Frank Kaufmann
