Famous quotes containing the word information:

    As information technology restructures the work situation, it abstracts thought from action.
    Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)

    Theories of child development and guidelines for parents are not cast in stone. They are constantly changing and adapting to new information and new pressures. There is no “right” way, just as there are no magic incantations that will always painlessly resolve a child’s problems.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
