u srednjoj školi smo održali jedan zajednički sat etike i vjeronauka - inicijator je bio naš prof. etike, vjerojatno nas je nečemu htio naučiti - mislim da mu cilj nije bio učenje međusobne trpeljivosti, ali to je jedino što smo uspjeli izvući iz tog sata. Jer zaista je potrebno živaca i veliko srce da pustite jednom vjeroučitelju da vas uči o vašem ženskom tijelu i tome što smijete, a što ne smijete raditi. Moram priznati da mi je uspio zgaditi vlastito tijelo - ne znam, sve te njihove priče nekako se obrušavaju na žene kao one koje su grešnice i izvor svega zla, ali zato kad djecu treba rađati…

Today, any medium that defines itself by its medium is in trouble: newspapers, broadcasting and books must be valued for their substance over their shape. Is a book bound paper? Or is it the ideas and information within? If there are better ways to share knowledge, why should it suffer the limitations of the page?
We have to get over the idea that lecture media is always superior to dialogue. We have to move past our one-way culture. While we worship the book with its present limitations, we cannot reinvent it. The book is dead. Long live books.

What separates the Google generation from postwar generations is the shift from largely image-based passive media to largely text-based interactive media. The ones who spent their childhood years engaged with computers and not zoning out in front of the TV - are the least violent, the most politically engaged and the most entrepreneurial since the dawn of the television era.
