This document contains a collection of quotes and thoughts on technology and its impact on humanity. Some key ideas expressed are that technology is being developed for the wrong reasons and can drown out knowledge if we are not careful. It also emphasizes the importance of engaging with users and having conversations to understand their needs rather than just focusing on algorithms and control. The conclusion advocates for engaging visionary supply chains, enhancing collaborative relationships and remembering that those who constantly seek attention achieve little.

much fun but we can
drown in our
technology. The fog of
information can drive
out knowledge. ”

algorithms.
