The Laws of Data Smog
  1. Information, once rare and cherished like caviar, is now plentiful and taken for granted like potatoes.

  2. Silicon circuits evolve much more quickly than human genes.

  3. Computers are neither human nor humane.

  4. Putting a computer in every classroom is like putting an electric power plant in every home.

  5. What they sell is not information technology, but information anxiety.

  6. Too many experts spoil the clarity.

  7. All high-stim roads lead to Times Square.

  8. Birds of a feather flock virtually together.

  9. The electronic town hall allows for speedy communication and bad decisionmaking.

  10. Equifax is watching.

  11. Beware stories that dissolve all complexity.

  12. On the information highway, most roads bypass journalists.

  13. Cyberspace is Republican.
