Off Screen Quote #14 (Jeremy Rifkin)

I don’t know much about Jeremy Rifkin other than Time Magazine called him “the most hated man in science,” but I found this quote interesting;

“The modern age has been characterized by a Promethean spirit, a restless energy that preys on speed records and shortcuts, unmindful of the past, uncaring of the future, existing only for the moment of the quick fix…Lost in a sea of perpetual technological transition, modern man and woman find themselves in increasingly alienated from the ecological choreography of the planet.”
