Anthony Horowitz Quotes

Kids are growing up with a bombardment of information through technology.

We can be incredibly disconnected in this day and age with computers and cell phones.

Social media worries me because it's not part of my world.

Everything has become so easy. It's great that it's at your fingertips, but I miss those good old days. And we're connected, but it can be very alienating. There is this distance between all of us because we're speaking to each other through cameras and monitors and icons and Emojis.

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

I'm not computer literate. I e-mail. I know how to get on the Web, but I haven't crossed over into the internet world. I'm old-fashioned, I guess.

Technologically, I live in the 17th century; I don't have a computer, I don't have any of that stuff. I don't look at the Internet, although I know people tell me I'm all over it. Somebody told me they Googled me, and they said I was mentioned two million times, some stupid thing... but who cares?

The Internet has empowered us. It has empowered you, it has empowered me, and it has empowered some other guys as well.

The smartphones and the computer separates everybody, makes you think that you don't need nobody else.
