By the way, that quote comes from Clifford Stoll's book "High-Tech Heretic: Reflections of a Computer Contrarian."
It was published in 1999 and deals mostly with topics on computers in the classroom. He does ramble off on a few other subjects though. It's on my reading list and I suggest everyone go read it. Cliff isn't some anti-technology wack job. He's a pioneer in the field and just posses some questions worth thinking about.
