“My fear is that these technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment.”
Prof. Susan Greenfield

"Scientists are people of very dissimilar temperaments
doing different things in very different ways. Among scientists are collectors,
classifiers and compulsive tidiers-up; many are
detectives by temperament and many are explorers; some are artists and others artisans. There are poet-scientists and
philosopher-scientists and even a few mystics.”
Peter Medawar
