“Our computer can appear friendly, helpful, almost human, but this friendliness is an interface illusion, a veneer hiding lines of code. When it “refuses” to cooperate, it does not meet our psychological expectations, and we experience this disappointment like betrayal. ("My computer does not understand me")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Writing letters may be an outdated way of communication for many, but they still have value. When letters are no longer objects in downtime but subjects in motion, they become vessels of meaning and carry fragments of the writer’s drive and emotional energy. ("Letter to unknown recipient “)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“How sure can we be of the soundness of what we think? We see things through the filters of our minds. Our perception is a product of our mind's interpretive framework. What we perceive is an interpretation soaked in context, memory, and partiality that arises from our conscious engagement with the world. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“What do we actually expect of our data processor? As our computers acquire interactive interfaces, voices, and adaptive behavior, we may be tempted to invest emotion in them, but they offer only simulation, which breeds intense irritation. It is like trying to love a mirror that won't love back. ("My computer does not understand me")”
