"The problem with computers is there is not enough Africa in them...
Do you know what a nerd is?
A nerd is a human being without enough Africa in him or her."
-- Brian Eno, May 1995, Wired interview: "Gossip Is Philosophy"
"We talk of uniting different cultures in the name of global harmony;
it is time we talked of uniting humanity with technology in the name
of PAN-global harmony. Unfortunately, technology is currently either
fetishised or feared. Such is humanity's reaction to exotic cultures."
