Sometimes the skills of computers will be used for outright cheating, and we can expect this problem to increase as the computers get better.

When people use Google more, they lose some of their ability – or at least willingness – to remember facts.

Google is the successful embodiment, through technology, of the earlier dream of the memory palace.

…most people prefer to give up some memory to enjoy this symbiotic relationship with modern search.

We… experience things differently when we feel we are dealing with a machine rather than a person.

We don’t want to treat human beings and computer programs the same way, even when the latter become extremely skilled…

For better or worse, we will remain – at the margin – rather desperately in need of help from the genius machines.

…technology and machines have historically had a larger effect on labor markets in the United States than has foreign competition.

…machines are getting better education, more rapidly and more cheaply, than are their human teammates… That’s the root of the problem for a lot of workers.
