As an entrepreneur, as an investor, I’m trying to be as educated as I can to where the progression of technological capability is going and what it does to these different categories that, me as an artist and an influencer, I can get involved and bring value.

I wanted to be an editor or a journalist, I wasn’t really interested in being an entrepreneur, but I soon found I had to become an entrepreneur in order to keep my magazine going.

There is something in the way that we are now, with our cell phones, and people are not looking at each other and not being in the moment with each other, that kids feel isolated.

The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.

The Internet is a big distraction.

I think Tesla will most likely develop its own autopilot system for the car, as I think it should be camera-based, not Lidar-based. However, it is also possible that we do something jointly with Google.

We are not even close to finishing the basic dream of what the PC can be.

The major advances in speed of communication and ability to interact took place more than a century ago. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph was far more radical than that from telephone to email!

Whether it’s Google or Apple or free software, we’ve got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.

Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.

The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.

When I was born in 1920, the auto was only 20 years old. Radio didn’t exist. TV didn’t exist. I was born at just the right time to write about all of these things.

You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.

There is a heavy emphasis in Mormonism on initiative, on responsibility, on a work ethic, and on education. If you take those elements together with a free-enterprise system, you’ve got the chemistry for a lot of industry.

In this experiment, made on the 9th of October, 1876, actual conversation, backwards and forwards, upon the same line, and by the same instruments reciprocally used, was successfully carried on for the first time upon a real line of miles in length.

You’ve really got to start hitting the books because it’s no joke out here.

Engineering training deals with the exact sciences. That sort of exactness makes for truth and conscience. It might be good for the world if more men had that sort of mental start in life even if they did not pursue the profession.

I pay attention to politics and technology.

For good nurture and education implant good constitutions.

People everywhere love Windows.

What really turns me on about technology is not just the ability to get more songs on MP3 players. The revolution – this revolution – is much bigger than that. I hope, I believe.

Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.

If a man’s wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics.

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.

What could I say to you that would be of value, except that perhaps you seek too much, that as a result of your seeking you cannot find.

I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.

I think the definition of a book is changing.

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.

Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.

What we want to be is something completely new. There is no physical analog for what Amazon.com is becoming.

Good jokes are gems. A good idea is hard to come by. I couldn’t give them to someone else, even for money. It just wouldn’t seem right.

Nothing, indeed, is more dangerous to the young artist than any conception of ideal beauty: he is constantly led by it either into weak prettiness or lifeless abstraction: whereas to touch the ideal at all, you must not strip it of vitality.
