“You serve a greater cause. Your life is not yours to throw away (Magnus Bane)”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

“[W]hile devices cannot replace imagination, they can certainly influence it and even mould it. Devices are there for the artists to use if they so wish. With them they can say new things in a new way, or even old things in a new way. Or, if they choose, they can ignore the devices and say new things in an old way, or old things in an old way.”
― Satyajit Ray, Satyajit Ray on Cinema

“When babies are born, they can typically only focus on objects eight to twelve inches in front of them. Their eye muscles strengthen and improve quickly so that they can see and take in more of the world through their eyes.
I find it somewhat ironic that most of the human race now spends so much time staring at objects â€� phones and tablets â€� eight to twelve inches in front of our faces. Perhaps we all just want to return to our childhood?”

― Robin S. Baker

“At the same time that a massive deployment of biologically harmful radio frequency (RF) radiation devices across the mass population has occurred, we see the reduction of health care for the poor, sick and elderly.”
― Steven Magee

“More than 80% of Millennials sleep with their cell phones (as compared to only a third of Boomers); More than half check them in the middle of the night. A third send over 35 text messages after having gone to bed. For digital natives, life is lived mediated.”
― Julie Albright

“The Untethered Society represents a new set of technologies and behaviors coming together to create a new social DNA—and with it, a new set of social problems and challenges to businesses and other institutions.”
― Julie Albright

― Julie Albright

“Connected devices and the internet of things will monitor our activities and upload that data. This will be factored into an algorithm to generate an overall score, which can increase or decrease in real-time. People will be able to see their overall fitness going up and down as they’re working out at the gym or eating takeaway pizza and watching Netflix.”

“Haruka would be happy if the world had no sand whatsoever. All of it should be gathered up today to make glass for cool devices for the rest of time; that would be the best use for it. Sand on its own is crude and stupid.”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“Our devices don’t have feelings (yet!) â€� if they did, they would be equivalent to the needy narcissistic partner for whom no amount of attention is ever enough. They superficially appear to care about you, give you just enough positive feedback to keep you interested in them, but never genuinely ask how you feel about your relation- ship. You doubt that you should get more serious, but it’s too easy to stay.”
― Thatcher Wine, The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better

“If your family has gotten used to having devices at the table, it can be difficult to break the cycle... Find a starting point that works for you and use it as an opportunity to reset the relationship between meals and devices.”
― Thatcher Wine, The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better

“Your devices are very powerful in their ability to help you create, but they can also become sources of distraction and wasted time. During your creative time, turn off notifications and close apps and windows that are not essential to your creative work. Advertisers and other companies want you to pay attention to their creative ideas â€� instead, cultivate the ability to resist them and redirect your attention to monotasking your creative ideas.”
― Thatcher Wine, The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better

“When you've got your devices down to the ideal number, use these tips to minimize them and prevent distractions:
- Remove as many icons from your desktop as possible.
- Uninstall software you don't need.
- Delete unneeded files from your Documents folder. (If you don't want to delete them completely, at least move them to an archive folder so they don't clutter your most-used folder anymore.)
- Develop a simple but logical folder structure so that you can find documents you want easily.
- Unsubscribe to blogs, email newsletters, and advertisements that no longer serve your interests.
- Delete internet bookmarks, cookies, and temporary internet files you no longer need.
- Delete apps you don't need, remembering that if you need them later, you can always download them again. Put only your most crucial apps (such as your calendar and your phone) on your home screen. Put the rest in folders on your second screen.
- Turn off notifications, including social media push notifications and email audio alerts.
- Make sure your spam filters are working.
- Delete photos that are of poor quality or that you don't need.
- Delete unused music and movies.
- Subscribe to a password manager so that you don't have to keep track of a bunch of passwords.”
