David Byrne > Quotes

“Books, or these long form thingies, are immutable. You can't go back and change them. Our friend the Interweb is not to be trusted - the electronic world is always in flux, slippery and ever-changing. Our memories are changeable too. The Interweb knows that - and will prey on that aspect of our neuro-haplessness. Book thingies, however, usually remain fixed - with all their faults, quirks, and dated expressions intact. We like books because they stay the same.”
