As a research tool, the internet is invaluable.

The Internet, man, is a beautiful thing.

Information, education, skills, healthcare, livelihood, financial inclusion, small and village enterprises, opportunities for women, conservation of natural resources, distributed clean energy – entirely new possibilities have emerged to change the development model.

I’m so thankful for the Internet because actors and singers and performers now have a way to connect with their fans on a very personal level which I think is quite special.

I very much believe the Internet is indeed all it is cracked up to be.

Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so.

I actually think people generally have an awareness and feel like, ‚Wow, these networks have a lot of information.‘

But there’s so much kludge, so much terrible stuff, we are at the 1908 Hurley washing machine stage with the Internet. That’s where we are. We don’t get our hair caught in it, but that’s the level of primitiveness of where we are. We’re in 1908.

I kind of thought that stand-up comedy would suffer from the Internet because people seem to know more about the craft of stand-up than ever before. I thought it would seem trite. Kind of like if you know more about magicians, you wouldn’t love them.

The craving for information is so huge now, and it can be marketed at such a rapid rate.

Now, we are selling over 5 million songs a day now. Isn’t that unbelievable? That’s 58 songs every second of every minute of every hour of every day.

Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.

I find it amusing that I’m on the Internet now, because I’ve criticized it, but mainly I’ve criticized it on the basis of, ‚What are you going to do with it?‘

The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it to a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people – as remarkable as the telephone.

The Internet offers opportunities that are more unique than ever before. With TV, I know I’m making 22 minutes; I know there’s a commercial in the middle. With the Internet, no one knows anything. No rules.

A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.

Certainly I’m not going to sit on the Internet all day and read what Sam from Iowa is saying about me. But I’m a sponge. I’ve always been a sponge.

I don’t follow politics much.

Music, even with these dial-up connections you have to the Internet, is very practical to download.

Facts are stubborn things.

We’re news junkies in my house.

I don’t think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.

The majority of people who don’t have Internet, don’t have the Internet because they don’t know why they want to use the Internet.

If Al Gore invented the Internet, I invented spell check.

We’re going to be able to ask our computers to monitor things for us, and when certain conditions happen, are triggered, the computers will take certain actions and inform us after the fact.

A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers.

The internet could be a very positive step towards education, organisation and participation in a meaningful society.

It’s dangerous to read the Internet about yourself when you’re me. Or when you’re anyone in the public eye.

You don’t have to turn on the TV set. You don’t have to work on the Internet. It’s up to you.

Of course you can’t ‚trust‘ what people tell you on the web anymore than you can ‚trust‘ what people tell you on megaphones, postcards or in restaurants. Working out the social politics of who you can trust and why is, quite literally, what a very large part of our brain has evolved to do.

On the Internet, you think everything is going to be public.

In ideal form of social control is an atomised collection of individuals focused on their own narrow concern, lacking the kinds of organisations in which they can gain information, develop and articulate their thoughts, and act constructively to achieve common ends.

As Bromberger observed, rules are understood to be elements of the computational systems that determine the sound and meaning of the infinite array of expressions of a language; the information so derived is accessed by other systems in language use.

The Internet has compromised the quality of debate.

The wealth of information now available at the click of a finger amazes me.

It is easier to go to the Internet than to go to the library, undoubtedly. But the shift from no libraries to the existence of libraries was a much greater shift than what we’ve seen with the Internet’s development.

In karting, you turn up and drive, look at the data and go home. But I like doing more, learning about the engines and how to make them go even better.

All knowledge which ends in words will die as quickly as it came to life, with the exception of the written word: which is its mechanical part.

Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people… They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.

You can think of the entire Internet as a place where ideas embodied in cyberspace are having a war, and it’s not much different than the war of gods in heaven, which has been taking place since there’s been human beings.

You can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on.

For a highly motivated learner, it’s not like knowledge is secret and somehow the Internet made it not secret. It just made knowledge easy to find. If you’re a motivated enough learner, books are pretty good.

Because the Internet is so new, we still don’t really understand what it is. We mistake it for a type of publishing or broadcasting, because that’s what we’re used to. So people complain that there’s a lot of rubbish online, or that it’s dominated by Americans, or that you can’t necessarily trust what you read on the Web.

If you grew up, and you never had a computer, and you’ve never used the Internet, and someone asked you if you wanted to buy a data plan, your response would be ‚What’s a data plan, and why would I want to use this?‘

People are very reluctant to talk about their private lives but then you go to the internet and they’re much more open.

If you count E-mail, I’m on the Internet all day, every day.

You hear doom and gloom about the Internet ruining young people’s command of English – that’s nonsense.

I’m not no Internet person.

There are websites that any government wants to block. The truth about the Internet is that it’s extremely hard to block anything – extremely hard. You’ll never get perfect blocking.

There’s strong data that, within companies, the No. 1 reason for ethical violations is the pressure to meet expectations, sometimes unrealistic expectations.

The internet has been a boon and a curse for teenagers.

Even more amazing than modern technology is our opportunity to access information directly from Heaven, without hardware, software, or monthly service fees.

The future of advertising is the Internet.

Whether or not I like a piece of data has very little bearing on whether or not I am likely to accept it.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics.

I think Facebook is an online directory for colleges… If I want to get information about you, I just go to TheFacebook, type in your name, and it hopefully pulls up all the information I’d care to know about you.

Those who cry out that the government should ‚do something‘ never even ask for data on what has actually happened when the government did something, compared to what actually happened when the government did nothing.

All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.
