  • Andrew Orlowski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    • Orlowski became a columnist based in San Francisco, U.S. for The Register in 2000.


    • In December 2004, he was invited to assemble a panel on techno-utopianism at Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet and Society.[5] Orlowski argues that this form of utopianism distracts attention and diverts capital away from solving real infrastructure problems.[6] "Technology can help us," he writes on his FAQ page.[4] "But we venerate the machines we have, which aren't very good, and worse, limit ourselves to seeing the world through this machine metaphor. Technology is useful when it makes something we already like to do easier. Technology can't tell us something we don't know. Technology cannot solve problems that don't exist."

    • The information passes too quickly from the screen to the homework papers and isn’t processed through the mind. The speed and ease of the digital resources actually conspires against producing long-term understanding.
    • Kids have access to more information than before but they aren’t on educational Web sites, they are on MySpace.com or espn.com. They go to social networking sites, which causes them to indulge where they are—adolescence—and not move forward.
