“I've been wearing hearing aids for a long time. The technology available now is simply unbelievable. When I compare the new digital products to what we had 30 years ago, it's an amazing difference.... There was a time when I couldn't hear what most people said to me, most of the time. But with the hearing aids, I understand just about everything ... it really is very impressive.” PeopleYearsLongSaidDifferencesTechnologyProductsLong TimeYears AgoAvailableHearingAidsCompareDigitalUnbelievableImpressiveVery ImpressiveHearing Aids Author:Arnold Palmer
“Much of the early engineering development of digital computers was done in universities. A few years ago, the view was commonly expressed that universities had played their part in computer design, and that the matter could now safely be left to industry. [...] Apart from the obvious functions of keeping in the public domain material that might otherwise be hidden, universities can make a special contribution by reason of their freedom from commercial considerations, including freedom from the need to follow the fashion.” NeedsYearsMatterReasonDoneMightLeftViewsSpecialFashionDesignMaterialsDevelopmentIndustryComputerYears AgoFunctionIncludingUniversityObviousContributionConsiderationDigitalEngineeringDomainPublic Domain Author:Maurice Wilkes

“I think that's so particularly exciting about this moment in time is all the new platforms that are now existing, the Netflixes and the Hulus and Amazons and so and so forth; I mean they are really doing what pay TV was doing twenty years ago. So a show like Dancing On The Edge gets to have a digital life after it's playing on Starz. I think what's exciting is how these new platforms are providing more opportunities both for first-run programming on the one hand but also for second plays for shows that have appeared first either on traditional broadcast or on cable.” ThinkingYearsFirstsMeanPlayMomentsShowsHandsRunningOpportunityPayTvsYears AgoExcitingTwentiesDancingEdgesTraditionalProgrammingDigitalPlatformsProvidingCablesMoments In TimeNetflix Author:Colin Callender
“As somebody who's kind of a technophile, I'm interested in how traditional and digital publishing connect. Maybe ten years ago they were seen as antagonists, but now they complement each other. There's data that shows digital sales actually drive print sales. And even the ways in which pictures and words, text and image, interact - we're seeing these books that are very hard to categorize. All of that is very exciting to me.” WayYearsKindBookHardShowsSeeingTenYears AgoExcitingTraditionalDataDigitalPrintPublishingComplementAntagonistPictures And Words Author:Gene Luen Yang
