"Before you become too entranced with gorgeous gadgets and mesmerizing video displays, let me remind you that information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is not foresight. Each grows out of the other, and we need them all."


Arthur C. Clarke

But whilst we have an overwhelmingly vivid visual understanding of space, we have no sense of what space sounds like."
Honor Harger
