Dan Levy Quotes

We will hear more regrets from founders of tech companies about the addictive technologies they have launched.

I write with pen and paper. I don't have a mobile or computer, because I know how great they are. If I did, I'd never leave the house - you'd find me in six months, dead under a pile of pizza boxes.

Some people are on their darn computers all day long.

I'm not a gadget freak.

I've been afraid of people playing their life away with too many toys.

Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?

Sometimes my husband has to literally pull me away from the computer.

Technology is notorious for engrossing people so much that they don't always focus on balance and enjoy life at the same time.

We're so connected, kind of ever-presently, with technology now. People are carrying their phones with them and looking at the screen so much.

Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives.

Our generation, unfortunately, is stuck to our phones - and, like, Twitter - constantly, which I have no problem with. I'd say we're not describing the children of America or anything like that, but there is something to take from it: It is kind of sad how we can't go thirty minutes without checking our phone.

People live too much of their lives on email or the Internet or text messages these days. We're losing all of our communication skills.

I'm not one of those people who sits at dinner on their iPhone all night. I'm either working or I'm not. I've gone down that path where you sleep with your phone beside the bed and send an email just before you put your head down and check everything again when you wake up, and I don't like it.
