  1. "O texto nos deu o judaísmo. A imprensa nos deu o protestantismo. O que esta nova tecnologia (digital) nos dá?… Se não criarmos uma sociedade que ao menos saiba que existe algo chamado programação, acabaremos sendo não os programadores, mas os usuários e, pior, os usados.”
    ("Programe, ou seja programado", #DouglasRushkoff)

    "…ou nós íamos para a cozinha preparar o prato que nós queríamos comer, com os temperos que nós queríamos colocar e dar um gosto brasileiro na comida, ou nós iríamos comer aquilo que a Microsoft queria vender para a gente."
