- Writing let you look at your thoughts in a way you couldn’t if you were just talking, and having seen them, you could improve them, make them stronger and more elaborate.
- Anyone who has wasted hours surfing the Internet knows that technology can encourage bad habits.
- Writing the words down does more than help me remember. It helps me think.
- We don’t normally think of it as such, but writing is a technology, which means that a literate person is someone whose thought processes are technologically mediated.
- One proposed solution to the Fermi Paradox is that intelligent species actively try to conceal their presence, to avoid being targeted by hostile invaders.
