Social media is great I guess but it feels like technology is the sapper of innocence.

It is impossible to work in information technology without also engaging in social engineering.

It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics atomic structure or biological inheritance.

Social technology gives leaders a vital new platform with which to connect their companies to the myriad stakeholders who have an interest in their well being.

Non-profits must become deeply engaged in the ways that their donor communities are using social technology.

Like all technology social media is neutral but is best put to work in the service of building a better world.

Social media is not about the exploitation of technology but service to community.

Piecemeal social engineering resembles physical engineering in regarding the ends as beyond the province of technology.

The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium - that is of any extension of ourselves - result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves or by any new technology.

Capitalist production therefore develops technology and the combining together of various processes into a social whole only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer.
