Robert E. Cummings

"Different technologies make different kinds of human action and interaction easier or harder to perform. All other things being equal, things that are easier to do are more likely to be done, and things that are harder to do are less likely to be done.
All other things are never equal."

Yochai Benkler. The Wealth of Networks. New Haven: Yale UP, 2008: 17.
