“I'm on it pretty much all the time. I edit Wikipedia every day, I'm on Facebook, I'm on Twitter, I'm reading the news.

“When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.” YearsMadeWholeEarthFormYoungGenerationsComputerLateToolsCamerasFellowsNotionBrandsParksPoeticPublishingGoogle1960sNeatPublicationMy GenerationTypewritersIdealisticScissorsStanford UniversityDesktopPersonal ComputersPolaroidsAmazing JobDesktop Publishing Author:Steve Jobs
“Computers allow us to squeeze the most out of everything, whether it's Google looking up things, so I guess that tends to make us a little lazy about reading books and doing things the hard way to understand how those things work.” WayLittlesBookHardReadingComputerLazyReading BooksGoogleHard Way Author:Buzz Aldrin
“Google has placed its faith in data, while Apple worships the power of design. This dichotomy made the two companies complementary.

“Technology has just been the major progression of the last 15 years - instant communication. That stuff has gone so global. That's what's interesting about it. When someone sits down in front of a computer, it's the same everywhere in the world, and it's the same screen looking back at you with the same Google, and there's no individuality to it. So I decided it would be kind of visually uninteresting to have in my films.” WorldKindFilmInterestingTechnologyCommunicationComputerIndividualityInstantBe KindGoogleLooking BackProgression Author:Ti West
“There's been a lot companies that have shown "zero to one" kind of growth in the computer, internet software age. Facebook and Google are zero to one companies. Apple's iPhone was the first smartphone that really works, and of course, then you scale it horizontally, but the vertical component was really critical. Space X would also be one.” KindAgeGrowthInternetComputerSoftwareGoogle Author:Peter Thiel
“When I watch TV, and TCM isn't on, I just switch channels and look at all the information about everything. The internet is perfect for that, which is why I didn't really want to get a computer in the first place.

I have never bought myself a computer or a phone, but guys in my life have bought them for me, for whatever reason. So now I have them.” ThinkingReasonGuyPerfectInternetComputerGoogle Author:Fiona Apple

“Nefarious. This is what we get when we hire a Yale boy.” “You missed sacrosanct earlier.
