Now that I finally have the time for it this web surfing stuff turns out to be as interesting and fun and addictive as you've all been telling me. Zipping from link to link chasing an idea across the noosphere sucking up information like a killer whale - way cool.

From computers to information technology to airplanes it has been America's unique blend of republican government and free-market capitalism that has allowed us to surpass all other nations in history.

I use computers for email staying current with my own website as well as finding important information through other websites. I also use it for creating MP3 files of new music I'm working on.

That's the new way - with computers computers computers. That's the way we can have the cell survive and get some new information in high resolution. We started about five years ago and today I think we have reached the target.

When they were done downloading all the information off each hard drive they took all the computers all the literature and loaded everything into a big white truck and left.

They were saying computers deal with numbers. This was absolutely nonsense. Computers deal with arbitrary information of any kind.

China has legally purchased high performance computers advanced machine tools and semiconductor-manufacturing equipment from several American companies.

What's happened with society is that we have created these devices computers which already can register and process huge amounts of information which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves as a species can process.

Every ISP is being attacked maliciously both from in the United States and outside of the United States by those who want to invade people's privacy. But more importantly they want to take control of computers they want to hack them they want to steal information.

Man-made computers are limited in their performance by finite processing speed and memory. So too the cosmic computer is limited in power by its age and the finite speed of light.

The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one in which information is given well-defined meaning better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

What I try to do is factor in how people use computers what people's problems are and how these technologies can get applied to those problems. Then I try to direct the various product groups to act on this information.

It's been my policy to view the Internet not as an 'information highway ' but as an electronic asylum filled with babbling loonies.

The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.

To devise an information processing system capable of getting along on its own - it must handle its own problems of programming bookkeeping communication and coordination with its users. It must appear to its users as a single integrated personality.

But picketing - picketing for or against something and handing out literature - these are conspicuously formal actions. They have to be understood as indirect communication.

As our country increasingly relies on electronic information storage and communication it is imperative that our Government amend our information security laws accordingly.

The speed of communication the speed of information transfer the cheapness of communication the ease of moving things around the world are a difference in kind as well as degree.

Gradually I became aware of details: a company of French soldiers was marching through the streets of the town. They broke formation and went in single file along the communication trench leading to the front line. Another group followed them.

Eventually it is found out but it takes time especially in the conditions when communication is difficult when the enemy is making it extremely awkward for information to come out to go.

I've worked very hard in this book to keep the lines of communication open. I don't want to turn someone away from this information for partisan political reasons.

I never told a victim story about my imprisonment. Instead I told a transformation story - about how prison changed my outlook about how I saw that communication truth and trust are at the heart of power.

It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.

If we ever start communicating with living creatures from other planets the number one priority is how are you going to communicate information? Even between different cultures here on Earth you get into communication problems.
