15. © Laurent Haug 2015 41 Phaedrus, c. 370 B.C. ”If we depend on writing, we will lose the ability to remember anything” Seneca (4-65 A.D.) “distringit librorum multitudo” (The abundance of books is a distraction.) Barnaby Rich (1580-1613) One of the diseases of this age is the multiplicity of books; they doth so overcharge the world that tit is not able to digest the abundance of idle matter that is every day hatched and brought forth into the world. (1613) "Superficial, sudden, unsifted, too fast for the truth, must be all telegraphic intelligence. Does it not render the popular mind too fast for the truth? Ten days bring us the mails from Europe. What need is there for the scraps of news in ten minutes? How trivial and paltry is the telegraphic column?" http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/07/in-1858-people-said-the-telegraph-was-too-fast-for-the-truth/375171/ In the early days of the telephone, people were told that the device was creating a "race of left-eared people—that is, of people who hear better with the left than with the right ear,” The radio, in 1924, was debatably a nuisance that produced "loud and unnecessary noise." Then came television, which was dangerous because it was too spellbinding. Oh, and because, as the Times reported in 1937, people reported being spied on through their TV sets. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/07/in-1858- people-said-the-telegraph-was-too-fast-for-the-truth/375171/
