Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “Books have souls. Or so romantics like me tend to think.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “While Google has given away pretty much everything it has to offer – from search and maps to email and apps – this has always been part of its greater revenue model: the pennies per placement it gets for seeding the entire Google universe of search and services with ever more targeted advertising.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “Files on iTunes – and thus iPods – are incompatible with everything else. Applications on iPhones may only be sold and uploaded through the iPhone store – giving Apple control over everything people put on to the devices they thought they owned.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “Once a teen has been identified as part of the ‘target market,’ he knows he’s done for. The object of the game is to confound the marketers, and keep one’s own, authentic culture from showing up at the shopping mall as a prepackaged corporate product.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “As a writer and sometime activist who needs to promote my books and articles and occasionally rally people to one cause or another, I found Facebook fast and convenient. Though I never really used it to socialize, I figured it was OK to let other people do that, and I benefited from their behavior.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “Occupy is anything but a protest movement. That’s why it has been so hard for news agencies to express or even discern the ‘demands’ of the growing legions of Occupy participants around the nation, and even the world.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “If money can’t be made reporting and writing articles, then professionals simply can’t do it anymore. Unless we adopt the position that the amateur blogosphere is really capable of taking on the role that the ‘New York Times’ and CNN play, then we do need solutions for paying for content.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “The iPad – contrary to the way most people thought about it – is not a tablet computer running the Apple operating system. It’s more like a very big iPhone, running the iPhone operating system.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “The new Zune may not be an iPod killer, but it does offer a clean interface, great industrial design, HD radio, and a subscription model for music, making it significantly less expensive for big users.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “Anchoring bias” refers to our tendency to rely on the first information we hear.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “No matter how much control kids get over the media they watch, they are still utterly powerless when it comes to the manufacturing of brands. Even a consumer revolt merely reinforces one’s role as a consumer, not an autonomous or creative being.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “We have the alternative. “Do I want to be on the subway looking at these people, or do I want to be in my phone looking at my people?””
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “As a digital technology writer, I have had more than one former student and colleague tell me about digital switchers they have serviced through which calls and data are diverted to government servers or the big data algorithms they’ve written to be used on our e-mails by intelligence agencies.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “It’s not that Twitter isn’t successful, it just isn’t successful enough to justify all the money investors have pumped into it.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “It feels as if ever since the iPhone was released, the Macintosh computer has become just another leverage point in this other operating system’s marketing plan.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “No matter how invasive the technologies at their disposal, marketers and pollsters never come to terms with the living process through which people choose products or candidates; they are looking at what people just bought or thought, and making calculations based on that after-the-fact data.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “This “out of sight, out of mind” externalization of poverty and poison doesn’t go away just because we’ve covered our eyes with VR goggles and immersed ourselves in an alternate reality.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “But further research has suggested that after people have gained power, they tend to behave like patients with damage to the brain’s orbitofrontal lobes. That is, the experience of wealth and power is akin to removing the part of the brain “critical to empathy and socially appropriate behavior.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “Chinese laborers “finish” smartphones by wiping off any fingerprints with a highly toxic solvent proven to shorten the workers lives. That’s how valuable it is for consumers to believe their devices have been assembled by magic rather than by the fingers of underpaid and poisoned children.”
Douglas Rushkoff Quote: “Cynical views of humans as a mindless mob, incapable of behaving intelligently and peacefully, are used to justify keeping us apart and denying us roles as autonomous actors.”
