Benjamin Franklin

"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."
"Publication has been extended far beyond our present ability to make real use of the record".
"The better we get at getting better, the faster we will get better."
"Unfortunately the WYSIWYG idea actually meant, "What you see is what you get WHEN YOU PRINT IT OUT".
Therefore this high-sounding motto was about using the computer as a paper simulator.
Imitating paper on a computer screen-- as almost all consumer applications presently do-- is like tearing the wings off a 747 and using it as a bus on the highway".

"In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it".
Dwight D. Eisenhower
“If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom. ”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969)
