Yes, we can be suspicious of digital technologies, but not because of the myriad changes in practices they require of us. Nor because they encourage “brain overload,” diminish authentic social interaction or distance us from nature. The problem is not devices but data, and the way it filters our perceptions of the world... I want to unseat the priority of a data-oriented frame... and affirm instead its subservience to the rich field of semiotics. (iix) So that makes me... a critical technobiophile!

网络自然：数字时代的自然之地

是的，我们可以怀疑数字技术，但不是因为它们要求我们在实践中发生无数变化。也不是因为它们鼓励“大脑超负荷”，减少真实的社交互动或使我们远离自然。问题不在于设备，而在于数据，以及它过滤我们对世界的看法的方式……我想取消面向数据框架的优先级……而是肯定它对丰富的符号学领域的从属。(iix) 所以这让我……成为一个批判性的技术生物学家！（https://richardcoyne.com/richard-coyne/）
