A Quote by Saya Woolfalk

Back in the 1980s, when the internet was only available to a small number of pioneers, I was often confronted by people who feared that the strange technologies I was working on, like virtual reality, might unleash the demons of human nature.

Some of the questions were silly, and others were prescient.
