Famous quotes containing the word conditional:

    “Computer mediation seems to bathe action in a more conditional light: perhaps it happened; perhaps it didn’t. Without the layered richness of direct sensory engagement, the symbolic medium seems thin, flat, and fragile.”
    —Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
