In an article in this month's Fast Company on Cathy Davidson, a professor at Duke University, there is a quote I quite like. Davidson is a Duke English professor and co-founder of HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory) a "network of academics inspired by new technology..."
At the end of the article, Davidson, who is in her 50s, expresses frustration with some of her generation who are ignoring or resisting the new technologies and the new realities brought on by those technologies.
"When I hear from those 40-year-old, 50-year-old Luddites, I'm thinking, What else is wrong in your life that you have to make such a wall? If you're worried about distraction, something else is going on."
