{"quotes":[{"text":"We use our minds not to discover facts but to hide them. One of things the screen hides most effectively is the body, our own body, by which I mean, the ins and outs of it, its interiors. Like a veil thrown over the skin to secure its modesty, the screen partially removes from the mind the inner states of the body, those that constitute the flow of life as it wanders in the journey of each day.

Books were always one of few escapes from this, because reading a book means not having to look at another damned glowing screen - which is why, no matter how 'convenient' or 'enhanced' digital enthusiasts claim that Ebooks are, I'll never see them as real books. They're just files of binary data, and while they might be considered books by a large amount of people, Ebooks have lost the human quality that real books have. You can argue that this is pretentious or stupid or nostalgic, but ultimately what will you pass down to your children and grandchildren? A broken old Kindle device with the same files that millions of other people have, or the dog-eared paperbacks that you fell in love with and wrote your name in and got signed by the author and flipped through in the bookstore and kept with you for years, like an old friend?","author":"Rebecca McNutt","tags":["21st-century","binary","blissful","broken","convenient","digital","ebook","electronic","enhanced","escape","friend","future","generation","glow","glowing","grandchildren","ignorance","kindle","modern","read","reading","screen","tablet"],"id":107204,"author_id":"Rebecca+McNutt"},{"text":"Mark, trying his best to distance himself from the cruel and pathetic 21st century, hadn’t listened to the news reports, not even when the dark green jeeps and helicopters showed up in town, men dressed in identical uniforms, just like in school, always standing with stony faces, setting up shelters and warning signals and food storage boxes. And as the public service announcements and racist propaganda bloomed onto the screens in every classroom, Mark’s only observation was that the United States still had such a long way to go. When times were dire, they resorted to using inaccurate stereotypes and ignorance as a weapon, with an impressionable society always willing to believe without further question.","author":"Rebecca McNutt","tags":["anti-racism","army","bigitry","box","classroom","education","ignorance","military","nuclear","nuclear-war","propaganda","public-service-announcement","racism","radiation","radioactive","school","screen","sheeple","society","stereotype","storage-box","united-states","war","weapon"],"id":239997,"author_id":"Rebecca+McNutt"},{"text":"To do a romantic scene is the most unromantic thing to do on screen.","author":"Yami Gautam","tags":["most","scene","screen "],"id":250749,"author_id":"Yami+Gautam"},{"text":"It is reasonable to think that if you spend your days indoors under artificial lights, staring at a screen, sitting in computer electromagnetic interference (EMI) fields and exposed to radio waves, that you may eventually develop a strange form of radiation sickness.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["artificial","computer","days","develop","electromagnetic","emi","eventually","exposed","fields","form","interference","lights","radiation","radio","reasonable","screen","sickness","sitting","spend","staring","strange","think","under","waves"],"id":251228,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"},{"text":"Your words on the screen are my color palette I dip my brush into your words and paint youOn the sky, on the ceiling, on the snow; on the tabletOf things eternal : love truth beauty happiness.","author":"Richard L.

Night shift was between 5 and 8 nights long and we slept at 9,200 feet. We sat at a desk staring at four large computer monitors and a large cathode ray tube television. I would also use my Wi-Fi laptop computer. I would have extreme fatigue by the end of every night shift and have chapped lips which I now associate with exposure to the artificial light from the computer screens. A good day of sleep between shifts was rare and starting the next shift fatigued was normal.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["adequate","artificial","chapped","computer","crt","day","desk","extreme","fatigue","fatigued","insufficient","kea","light","lips","mauna","monitor","night","rare","screen","shift","sleep","summit","television","time","wifi","wintertime"],"id":350696,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":13,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
