"I've had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain,

remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn't going – so far as I can

tell – but it's changing. I'm not thinking the way I used to think.” - Nicholas Carr

“With Google, I’m starting to burn out on knowing the answer to everything. People in the year 2020 are going to be nostalgic for the sensation of feeling clueless.” - Douglas Coupland
