Famous quotes containing the words contemporary and/or technology:
“Americans have internalized the value that mothers of young children should be mothers first and foremost, and not paid workers.

—Ruth E. Zambrana, U.S. researcher, M. Hurst, and R.L. Hite. “The Working Mother in Contemporary Perspectives: A Review of Literature,” Pediatrics (December 1979)
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
