Mark Zuckerberg Quotes

With technology, there is so much isolation with people now, that there are very few places where you can connect.

With the Internet, we can communicate instantly across the globe, but the net also makes it possible for us to shrink ever further into our own skins - a state of being that neither suits the human temperament nor provides ground for further growth.

Digital technology is both arousing and distancing. We don't look at the users on the other side as people. They aren't - they're just usernames, Facebook photos and Twitter handles.

In an odd sort of way, the computer and the Internet is the hermit's ideal form of communication. You don't have to see anyone. To send an email, you don't have to talk to anyone. You can just send it, and they'll read it on their own. The Internet has been really good for hermits.

Apps have made it easier to meet people but harder to connect.

We haven't evolved as loners, we need each other. It's easy to believe in the illusion of technology bringing us closer together.
