Investing in industries and technology for the 21st century generates high-skilled high-wage jobs for industries of the future.

Every time somebody tries to go in and reinvent what we do it always ends up being more about technology and sets and flash and dash forgetting the main thing which is interesting people saying interesting important things.

Technology is neutral: It convicts and finds innocents. We must make it a regularized part of the system giving defendants access to DNA testing and evidence whenever it might be relevant.

The system of nature of which man is a part tends to be self-balancing self-adjusting self-cleansing. Not so with technology.

What's sort of interesting about the whole public relations disaster that is the Net in some ways is that the fundamentals are really good.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

I need a teacher quite as much as Helen. I know the education of this child will be the distinguishing event of my life if I have the brains and perseverance to accomplish it.

Prior to being allowed to enter the profession prospective teachers should be asked to talk with a group of friendly students for at least half an hour and be able to engage them in an interesting conversation about any subject the prospective teacher wants to talk about.

It's too bad that one has to conceive of sports as being the only arena where risks are for all of life is risk exercise. That's the only way to live more freely and more interestingly.
