The Complexities of the Duff Family - from enslavement to aristocracy
1722 saw the demise of a John Augier, a Jamaica planter, who had had a relationship with an enslaved woman in Jamaica (consensual or otherwise). When John Augier died, his 5 daughters were freed from enslavement. One of the children from this liaison was Susannah Augier. We are going to take a look at the life of one of Susannah’s daughters, Frances, who, despite her parents not being married,…

Official Website: Internet Quotes
• A lot of people can be afraid of the masking because people can misrepresent themselves [in the Internet] and they can pose as people they’re not. Well, yeah; that’s true. That’s one side of it. But the other side of it is that it equalizes you and if you happen to be a person who is not equal in the eyes of the greater society that’s a damn good thing. – Augusten Burroughs • A lot of rumours on the Internet are wrong and horrible. – Carine Roitfeld • Access to science is greater than ever before.

No. Will I regret missing the beginning of the Internet? Yes. – Jeff Bezos • America Online customers are upset because the company has decided to allow advertising in its chat rooms.

People went crazy with tulip bulbs. They went crazy with the South Sea Bubble, they went crazy internet stocks, they went crazy with the uranium stocks back when I was first getting started. I mean, you know, you’re not going to change the human animal. And the human animal really doesn’t get a lot smarter. – Howard Warren Buffett • As the most participatory form of mass speech yet developed, the Internet deserves the highest protection from government intrusion. – Stewart Dalzell

Also, alternative newspapers, which exist all over the country. Also, cable TV programs, which are not dependent on commercial advertising. Also, the internet, which can reach millions of people by-passing the conventional media. – Howard Zinn • Because the Internets there, I have access to a lot of the legends, like Fela Kuti. I used to watch a lot of Fela Kuti videos, just to see how he performed. He inspired me a lot, actually, because he was a man of many words, many good words. – King Krule • Before there was an Internet, before there was an AOL, the circulation of newspapers was going down. – Donald E. Graham Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow Internet to see who they really are. – Will Ferrell • Being connected to the Internet means being vulnerable to coordinated actions that can knock down walls of secrecy and shatter mechanisms of control. – Jamais Cascio • Beware of addictive medicines. Everything in moderation. This applies particularly to the Internet and your sofa. The physical world is ultimately the source of all inspiration. Which is to say, if all else fails: take a bike ride.- Aaron Koblin • By placing intelligence at the edges rather than control in the middle of the network, the Internet has created a platform for innovation. – Vinton Cerf
[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Chinese national Internet policy is very simple: Block and clone. – Michael Anti • Cloud computing offers individuals access to data and applications from nearly any point of access to the Internet, offers businesses a whole new way to cut costs for technical infrastructure, and offers big computer companies a potentially giant market for hardware and services. – Jamais Cascio • Crackdowns on Internet content make clear the need for an anonymized Web. Now, someone just needs to implement it. – Jamais Cascio • Cryptography is the essential building block of independence for organisations on the internet, just like armies are the essential building blocks of states, because otherwise one state just takes over another. – Julian Assange • Cutting through the acronyms and argot that littered the hearing testimony, the Internet may fairly be regarded as a never-ending worldwide conversation. The government may not, through the CDA, interrupt that conversation. – Stewart Dalzell • Cyberspace undeniably reflects some form of geography.- Sandra Day O’Connor • Describing the Internet as the Network of Networks is like calling the Space Shuttle, a thing that flies. – Jon Lester • Don’t ever, ever try to lie to the internet. – Gabe Newell • Dont you think dreams and the Internet are similar? They are both areas where the repressed conscious mind vents.- Yasutaka Tsutsui • During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. – Al Gore • Email is a 40-year-old technology that is not going away for very good reasons – it’s the cockroach of the Internet. – Jason Hirschhorn • Entire new continent can emerge from the ocean in the time it takes for a Web page to show up on your screen. Contrary to what you may have heard, the Internet does not operate at the speed of light; it operates at the speed of the DMV. – Dave Barry • Eventually, somewhere – be it on the Internet or somewhere else – I will host some version of ‘The Daily Show.’ – Marcus Brigstocke • Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things but yeah I can imagine that you can kind of – I think it depends on one’s psychological state. I think there are some people who are on the internet and can fall in love and seem to be in a certain psychological state and other people who are – who couldn’t quite do that. – Keanu Reeves • Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. – Mitchell Kapor • Government investment unlocks a huge amount of private sector activity, but the basic research that we put into IT work that led to the Internet and lots of great companies and jobs, the basic work we put into the health care sector, where it’s over $30 billion a year in R&D that led the biotech and pharma jobs. And it creates jobs and it creates new technologies that will be productized. But the government has to prime the pump here. The basic ideas, as in those other industries, start with government investment. – Bill Gates • Guys should not be allowed to use the Internet all day long. So sad.- Natasha Leggero • Human beings are attracted to novelty: to probe the adjacent possible. We didnt stay in the caves. We didnt stay on the planet, and soon we wont stay within the limitations of our biology. We move forward. We transcend our limits. We go to the moon, and we create the Internet. – Jason Silva • I agree completely with my son James when he says ‘Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything, while the former lights up knowledge’. – Kerry Packer • I always had faith in the internet. I believed in it and thought it was obviously going to change the way the world worked. I really did not understand why others were selling their stock. As stock prices plunged, I just bought them, one after another, since I had the money. I guess I was rather lucky. – Takafumi Horie • I always try and tell dudes that are younger than me is that because of the Internet everyone can just be by themselves doing something, but the importance of a group is being able to have some sort of competition. – Earl Sweatshirt • I always use the Internet. It’s a great marketing tool. It’s a great starting point, allowing you to show your trailer and have people all over world be able to see it. It was much harder in the old days. – Tom Six • I am possibly thinking about doing an Internet show in the future that will highlight political organizations that I seek out to let people know about them, volunteer opportunities, and donation opportunities. – Kathleen Hanna • I coauthored my first nonfiction book by the time I was 25. I have been involved in nonfiction documentaries, newspapers, TV and internet since that time.- Julian Assange • I do get offered a lot more roles than I choose to do. I’m very busy as a producer and a writer, especially with my Internet stuff, and I tend to only accept the roles that I know will have an impact and has a fanbase. – Felicia Day • I don’t sweat the Internet. You know, it’s still something I enjoy as a movie geek myself to get on and, like, look at all the websites; however, when it comes to marketing a movie, the Internet is still not the thing that gets people to the theatre. – Michael De Luca • I don’t worry about anything in the Internet age. I have been online since I was aware of it: 1985 in San Francisco. It has changed everything in my life. I would not want to even be alive in an era that did not have it because it is essential to our evolution as a species. – Augusten Burroughs • I graduated from high school in 1963. There were no computers, cell phones, Internet, credit cards, cassette tapes or cable TV. – Jeffrey Gitomer • I had had a lot of experience in bringing the Internet to Australia, and I saw that knowledge in the hands of people achieves reform.- Julian Assange • I hate auditioning; it makes me more nervous than anything ever, and I always feel like I wasted my time and I could have been creating my own thing. With the Internet, you have so much freedom that ‘gatekeepers’ make me terrified. – Grace Helbig • I have a very low tolerance for boredom and often think I would have missed out on books entirely if Id grown up in the Internet and video game age. Now I enjoy books for people of all ages, including children. – Rick Yancey • I have always had stuff on the internet, way back in the Myspace days, I had a lot of friends on Myspace. And it is just all about like networking – contacting people and showing people, like, your mind. – Kreayshawn • I have an almost religious zeal… not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up. – Dan Millman • I have no internet savvy whatsoever, but I love researching things. The Internet is my library… beyond that, I’m completely intimidated by it. – Drew Barrymore • I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially… They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck. It’s a series of tubes. – Theodore Stevens • I live in a bubble. I don’t read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don’t know what people are saying because, well I guess I’m afraid to. – Ron Perlman • I love the Internet, and I love wasting time on the Internet – even though it sometimes ends up being not being a waste of time. – Claire Cameron • I sometimes wonder how we spent leisure time before satellite television and Internet came along…and then I realise that I have spent more than half of my life in the ‘dark ages’! – Arthur C. Clarke • I think [the virtual choir] speaks well to a benevolent future for the Internet. – Eric Whitacre • I think it’s a bit silly to brand the Internet as the ‘downfall of youth.’- Ernest Cline • I think middle America has changed very, very much. I think people are way more open-minded. I think – I think it’s because the Internet. I think they’re exposed to so much. All the men talked about how much they love their wife, which I don’t hear all the time in art communities.- John Waters • I think that online harassment has become so ubiquitous on the Internet that a lot of women do feel safer, whatever that means, in spaces where they know like people are not going to bother them in that kind of way. – Jessica Valenti • I think that the Internet is our most profound and beautiful achievement. It is magnificent. We have the Internet as a layer of our thinking that doesn’t control us, we control it, yet we don’t have to be aware of it. It will be like a suit that really fits well. – Augusten Burroughs • I think there is a possible future where maybe we do just take a hard turn away from the Internet and we do start valuing our privacy again. – Brian K. Vaughan • I think with every successful consumer Internet business, there will be lawyers that are interested in going after your company, especially when they think that there’s a financial incentive. – Jeremy Stoppelman • I use the Internet for what it’s for: to learn. – Danny Brown • I want to preserve the free and open Internet – the experience that most users and entrepreneurs have come to expect and enjoy today and that has unleashed impressive innovation, job creation, and investment. – Julius Genachowski • I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website – but on the internet, people only look at pictures of kittens. – Banksy • I wanted to reexamine the idea of the album for generations of people who are not my age, who love music or learning about music or are finding this band called R.E.M. or have just previously heard “Losing My Religion” and “Everybody Hurts” as their elevator music. I wanted to present an idea of what an album could be in the age of YouTube and the Internet. – Christopher Bollen • I was inspired by the Hole in the Wall project, where a computer with an internet connection was put in a Delhi slum. When the slum was revisited after a month, the children of that slum had learned how to use the worldwide web. – Sugata Mitra • I wont deny that I have a far more productive writing life without the Internet, mostly because I rekindle my ability to concentrate on one thing for a period of longer than three minutes. My curiosity is channeled inward rather than Internet-ward. – Heidi Julavits • I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she’s too young to have logged on yet. Here’s what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say ‘Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?’ – Mike Godwin • I’d like to know what the Internet is going to look like in 2050. Thinking about it makes me wish I were eight years old. – Vinton Cerf • If I do need to make money suddenly, I prefer to just draw something I want to draw and have someone else sell it for me on the Internet. – Chester Brown • If some unemployed punk in New Jersey, can get a cassette to make love to Elle McPherson for $19.95, this virtual reality stuff is going to make crack look like Sanka. – Dennis Miller • If the Internet can be described as a giant human consciousness, then viral marketing is the illusion of free will. – George Pendle • If the Internet is worth its salt, it has to help arrest the forces that promote inequality, monopoly, hypercommercialism, corruption, depoliticization and stagnation. – Robert Waterman McChesney • If the Internet turns out not to be the future of computing, we’re toast. But if it is, we’re golden. – Larry Ellison • If you and I got on an airplane, you’re going to L.A., Los Angeles, and I’m going to Senegal, we get there about the same time. The world is just that small. So a world that is so tightly bound by science and technology and now Internet and the web page, that world is too small for bullies. It has no room in that world for arrogance. – Jesse Jackson • If you have a kid and you try irony out on them, they don’t get it at 7, 8 years old. You can’t really hide the Internet from kids. It worries me some particularly because I’ve done Disney and Pixar stuff. – Randy Newman • If you hear an expert talking about the Internet and saying it [does] this, or it will do that, you should treat it with the same skepticism that you might treat the comments of an economist about the economy or a weatherman about the weather.- Danny Hillis • If you look at the evolution of games from console to Internet to mobile, and look at social networking from Web to mobile, everything is fragmenting. – Chris DeWolfe • If you offer people a decent service, if you give them you know Internet access, if their phones are not cut off on the trains, you know if you have plugs where they can plug in their computers, and if you have a smiling, cheerful staff; and if you can travel really quickly, then you can make a success out of the rail business. – Richard Branson • I’m a great believer in particularly being alert to changes that change something, anything, by an order of magnitude, and nothing operates with the factors of 10 as profoundly as the Internet. – Andy Grove • Im accustomed to Internet forums where rudeness and incivility are the rule, where too many people seem to take pride in their insults. – Bryan Burrough • I’m lucky enough to have been in the age before the internet and now during the internet. I’m grateful to be a witness to that. It’s horse and buggy versus car. To see how quickly things change has given me a renewed sense of optimism. Does that make sense? – Kathleen Hanna Impact, Roles, Stuff • In a way, the whole music industry is just catering to the inherent esteem issues all these artists have – it lays it all out on the line and baits the artist, like a light baits a mosquito. And you go right into it. With every comment on the internet, you go up, you go down, and it’s a big shitshow full of uneducated people. – Willis Earl Beal • In much the same way, motherhood has become the essential female experience, valued above all others: giving life is where it’s at. Give birth in cities where accommodation is precarious, schools have surrendered the fight and children are subject to the most vicious mental assault through advertising, TV, internet, fizzy drink manufacturers and so on. Without children you will never be fulfilled as a woman, but bringing up kids in decent conditions is almost impossible. – Virginie Despentes • In order for us [people] to progress, we need brilliance and brilliance isn’t fair and it’s not polite and we can’t grow it. It happens. Genius happens and it doesn’t always happen in a zip code where we can access it. Therefore, we kind of need [Internet] not to keep tabs on everybody but we need to give them access to everybody else. – Augusten Burroughs • In production, in the first couple of weeks of production, that it was more like making an internet musical. – Joss Whedon • In the Internet age, with the screaming on the radio, etc., it is hard to know what to believe and who is informed and who is not. – Michael Specter • In this business, by the time you realize you’re in trouble, it’s too late to save yourself. Unless you’re running scared all the time, you’re gone. – Bill Gates Information, Pickles, Turns • Innovation is what America does best. Whether it is the Apollo Project to the moon, developing the most advanced defense technologies available, the rise of the Internet or the latest advancements in biomedical gene therapies, our nation leads the world in transformative innovations. – Martin Heinrich • Internet technology, like anything else that mankind creates is a tool and that tool can be used for good or for evil, like a light saber. Technology is supposed to bring people together, streamline things and make life easier and in a lot of ways it does that. However, technology can also disconnect you from other people and break down the social network, the real social network of family and friends and interpersonal communication, and isolate people, make them feel alone, make them feel small. So it’s a tool that needs to be used correctly. – Rainn Wilson • Internet users, that blue screen of death you were looking at this morning? That’s the sky. If you’re still confused, look it up on Wikipedia tomorrow. – Stephen Colbert • It all stems from the same thing – which is that when we are face to face – and this is what I think is so ironic about Facebook being called Facebook, because we are not face to face on Facebook … when we are face to face, we are inhibited by the presence of the other. We are inhibited from aggression by the presence of another face, another person. We’re aware that we’re with a human being. On the Internet, we are disinhibited from taking into full account that we are in the presence of another human being. – Sherry Turkle • It is possible to think that the Internet will be a net positive for society while admitting that there are significant downsides – after all, it’s not a revolution if nobody loses. – Clay Shirky • It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that the Internet has evolved into a force strong enough to reflect the greatest hopes and fears of those who use it. After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics. – Denise Caruso • Its flattering that there are lots of Internet fan sites about me. Im a bit of a technophobe and I dont even own a laptop, but its probably a good thing Im not logged on, checking up on what everyone is saying about me. – Jonas Armstrong • It’s important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It’s not only life of babies, but it’s life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet. – George W. Bush • It’s like they say in the Internet world — if you’re doing the same thing today you were doing six months ago, you’re doing the wrong thing. Parents can learn a lot from that. – Bruce Feiler • It’s very advantageous to be sensitive with your work – and, yet, being sensitive, in reality, when criticized, it can annihilate you. It can destroy you. And with the internet there sometimes is a lot of harm, which I find must be very difficult for youngsters coming on – it can be very harsh; the criticism. And, sometimes, it can be a little cruel – which makes it hard for young performers coming on. – Michael Crawford • I’ve learned a lot about things because of the Internet. I’m happy with it, but it’s a long road for me. I’m still definitely a little anti. – Patrick Stump • John Kerry is finding out that it is no fun to be the front runner, that’s when you get all the heat. He had to deny internet rumors this week that he had Botox treatments. The Republicans say Kerry should have a clear, unfurrowed brow the old fashioned way by not giving a sh–. – Bill Maher • Just as the Internet drops transaction and collaboration costs in business and government, it also drops the cost of dissent, of rebellion, and even insurrection. – Don Tapscott • Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects. – Stewart Dalzell • Just as we could have rode into the sunset, along came the Internet, and it tripled the significance of the PC. – Andy Grove • Magazines that depend on photography, and design, and long reads, and quality stuff, are going to do just fine despite the Internet and cable news. – Jann Wenner • Most Internet business theorists are really looking at preserving the necks of giant, Fortune 500 companies, rather than promoting the digital, peer-to-peer economy that actually wants to happen. – Douglas Rushkoff • Most kids come home from school. They don’t go to their TVs first. They go to the Internet. They check their emails, or some blogs, or some sites. Then they go watch TV. Other people are at work all day 9-5 in front of a computer. They see certain clips. We’re not going to hide the fact that people use the Internet. We’re going to try to be as interactive as possible with our fans. I’m currently on Twitter and Facebook and Flicker and Dig. I’m on all that stuff. – Jimmy Fallon • My favorite thing about the Internet is that you get to go into the private world of real creeps without having to smell them.- Penn Jillette • My wife and I have purchased two hybrids. We bought a 3 kw photovoltaic unit. We recycle and offset our carbon emissions on the Internet. We turn things off. But we also spend two nice salaries every year, and here’s the dirty little secret – our environmental footprint is HUGE, I’m sure. We’ve all got to do what we can in our individual lives, but we’ve also got to drive the systemic changes that will make the big differences. – James Gustave Speth • Net Neutrality’ is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government. – Ted Cruz • Net neutrality was essential for our economy; it was essential to preserve freedom and openness, both for economic reasons and free speech reasons, and the government had a role in ensuring that Internet freedom was protected.- Julius Genachowski • Newspapers and magazines didn’t want pictures of musicians behaving badly back then. Now, because of the Internet, that’s all the media wants. – Mick Rock • Nowadays we have so many things that take our attention – phones, Internet – and perhaps we need to disconnect from those and focus on the immediate world around us and the people that are actually present. – Nicholas Hoult • Nowadays, anyone who cannot speak English and is incapable of using the Internet is regarded as backward. – Al-Waleed bin Talal • On Chinese Internet, freedom is a targeted and precise window. – Michael Anti • On the Internet you get continuous innovation, so every year the streams are a little better. – Reed Hastings • On the Internet, everyone is writing. There is a great flowering of writing.- James Salter • On the Internet, there are an unlimited number of competitors. Anybody with a Flip camera is your competition. What makes it even worse is that YouTube is willing to subsidize the cost of your bandwidth. So anybody can create and distribute for free basically, but the real cost is marketing. And that’s always the big cost – how do you stand out and what’s the cost of standing out? And there’s no limit to that cost. – Mark Cuban • One of the Internet’s strengths is its ability to help consumers find the right needle in a digital haystack of data. – Jared Sandberg • One of the myths about the Internet of Things is that companies have all the data they need, but their real challenge is making sense of it. In reality, the cost of collecting some kinds of data remains too high, the quality of the data isn’t always good enough, and it remains difficult to integrate multiple data sources. – Chris Murphy • One of the things I like about making stuff in the age of the Internet, is that people make stuff in response to it. You can see people respond to your work visually or musically or with writing.- John Green • One of the things that I realized when I left office was that in the 1990’s citizens across the world applied more power than they had ever had, as compared with the government, because of more people living under democracies than dictatorships for the first time, the power of the internet, which the young Chinese used to basically change China’s policy on the SARS epidemic, and shut it down, and because of the rise in non-governmental organizations like my foundation. – William J. Clinton • One of the wonderful things about Internet is its like a salon. It brings people together from different intellectual walks of life. – Eric Kandel • People are mostly focused on defending the computers on the Internet, and there’s been surprisingly little attention to defending the Internet itself as a communications medium. And I think we probably do need to pay some more attention to that, because it’s actually kind of fragile.- Danny Hillis • People depend on the Open Internet to connect and communicate with each other freely. Voters need it to inform themselves before casting ballots. Without prompt corrective action by the Commission to reclassify broadband, this awful ruling will serve as a sorry memorial to the corporate abrogation of free speech. – Michael Copps • People over the age of thirty were born before the digital revolution really started. We’ve learned to use digital technology-laptops, cameras, personal digital assistants, the Internet-as adults, and it has been something like learning a foreign language. Most of us are okay, and some are even expert. We do e-mails and PowerPoint, surf the Internet, and feel we’re at the cutting edge. But compared to most people under thirty and certainly under twenty, we are fumbling amateurs. People of that age were born after the digital revolution began. They learned to speak digital as a mother tongue. – Ken Robinson • People wouldn’t go on Facebook unless they wanted to share with groups of people. But there is this perception that you have been on a course to push people’s information where it’s visible across the Internet unless they do a bunch of stuff. – Walt Mossberg • Privacy is not an option, and it shouldn’t be the price we accept for just getting on the Internet. – Gary Kovacs • Reddit is not a public utility or a public square; its a privately owned space on the Internet. – John Scalzi • Science fiction does not remain fiction for long. And certainly not on the Internet. – Vinton Cerf • Social media and the Internet haven’t changed our capacity for social interaction any more than the Internet has changed our ability to be in love or our basic propensity to violence, because those are such fundamental human attributes. – Nicholas A. Christakis • Some jerk infected the Internet with an outright lie. It shows how easy it is to do and how credulous people are. – Kurt Vonnegut • Thanks is part to our education system, we tend to think that we’re smarter than the stupid guys in funny wigs who came before us. But that’s because we are mistaking technology, progress, and access to information for intelligence. We think that because we know how to use iPhones (but not build them), browse the Internet (but not understand how it works), and use Google (but not really know anything), our educational system is working just great. By the same token, we think that those dumb aristocrats who used horses to get around and didn’t have electricity were neanderthals. – Glenn Beck • That is, we’re into a whole new world with the Internet, and whenever we sort of cross another plateau in our development, there are those who seek to take advantage of it. So this is a replay of things that have happened throughout our history. – William J. Clinton • The American revolutionaries believed in the power of the word. But they had only word of mouth and the printing press. We have the Internet. – Robert Darnton • The artistic desire reveals itself in dark form – in karaoke bars [or] trolling on the Internet. – Young-Ha Kim • The big change, the really radical change in communication, was in the late 19th century. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph is astronomical. Everything since then has been small increments, including the internet. – Noam Chomsky • The big downside to the global village that the Internet has created is that nothing has time to grow out of the public gaze and, even more dangerous, whatever your personal interests might be, there will always be someone somewhere to provide validation and encouragement. – Derek Ridgers • The boom was healthy too, even with its excesses. Because what this incredible valuation craze did was draw untold sums of billions of dollars into building the Internet infrastructure. The hundreds of billions of dollars that got invested in telecommunications, for example. – Andy Grove • The constant buzz and pressure and noise and static of the Internet, and the way it makes young people feel makes it difficult to grow up and develop the way one might want to. – Ethan Hawke • The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I’d been up all night inventing the Camcorder. – Al Gore • The Internet “browser”… is the piece of software that puts a message on your computer screen informing you that the Internet is currently busy and you should try again later. – Dave Barry • The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. Someone the other day said, “It’s the biggest thing since Gutenberg,” and then someone else said “No, it’s the biggest thing since the invention of writing.”- Rupert Murdoch • The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. – Rupert Murdoch • The Internet has really democratized ideas. There are no real gatekeepers any more, because if you have a great idea, and you put it online, people will find it and it will get in front of who it needs to get in front of. – Justin Halpern • The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, “people without lives.” We don’t care. We have each other. – Dave Barry • The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, “people without lives.” We don’t care. We have each other…. While you are destroying your mind watching the worthless, brain-rotting drivel on TV, we on the Internet are exchanging, freely and openly, the most settings, uninhibited, intimate and, yes, shocking details about our “CONFIG.SYS.” – Dave Barry • The Internet is a telephone system that’s gotten uppity. – Clifford Stoll • The Internet is a very intimate entertainment experience. I’m in my own apartment talking to people, and I want them to feel like they’re with me in my apartment. So if I’m listening to them and taking ideas from them and being honest with how I’m feeling, it resonates even more that we’re having a real, actual conversation. – Grace Helbig • The Internet is all about accessing entertainment. Realistically, 50 to 80 percent of all traffic is people downloading stuff for free. If you can turn that huge market share into something that you can monetize, even if it is just with ads, you will end up making more money than with all other revenue streams combined. – Kim Dotcom • The internet is an amazing medium for languages. – David Crystal • The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow. – Bill Gates • The Internet is disrupting every media industry…people can complain about that, but complaining is not a strategy. And Amazon is not happening to book selling, the future is happening to book selling. – Jeff Bezos • The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom. – Jon Stewart • The Internet is like a gold-rush; the only people making money are those who sell the pans. – Will Hobbs • The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect. – Esther Dyson • The Internet is merely a new means of communication, that’s all it is. It serves the purpose of getting information, which it is fantastic at. I mean, I live by the Internet in terms of research and it’s incredible – there’s nothing that you can’t find out about. It’s not stopped me going to bookshops but I must say that I don’t go into as many because any book I want. – David Bowie • The internet is necessarily public. It can be filtered-public or censored-public, but it necessarily has to be open and available. – John Green • The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn’t understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had. – Eric Schmidt • The Internet is the great equalizer.The technology which emanated from the Silicon Valley of California has more potential to ameliorate social inequality than any development in the history of the world, including the industrial revolution. – Benazir Bhutto • The Internet is the greatest thing that ever happened to the entertainment industry. – Michael Ovitz • The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting. – Dave Barry • The internet makes everything not enough. – Alec Sulkin • The Internet nowadays is all sensationalism, and it’s just terrifying when you’re actually experiencing it as a person.- Bradford Cox • The Internet seems like a safe house for the opposite mentality, for cynics and for jerks and for people who want to lash out. And it’s a valid thing. It’s a valid forum and I’m not going say that they aren’t valid feelings. But it’s sad. Considering the potential that something like the Internet, that connects so many people, has for good. I think it’s sad that it’s used so often for nothing but unfounded, overzealous negativity. – Chris Gethard • The Internet shapes my life and work so completely that I couldn’t imagine living without it. – Nicola Formichetti • The Internet was done so well that most people think of it as a natural resource like the Pacific Ocean, rather than something that was man-made. When was the last time a technology with a scale like that was so error-free? The Web, in comparison, is a joke. The Web was done by amateurs. – Alan Kay • The Internet will help achieve “friction free capitalism” by putting buyer and seller in direct contact and providing more information to both about each other. – Bill Gates • The Internet, I’m trying to point out, is a kooks’ paradise. Anybody with a keyboard and a modem can spread fear, loathing, and just plain asinine ideas among hundreds of thousands of people with the click of a button. Discouraging, but true. – David F. Emery • The Internet, of course, is more than a place to find pictures of people having sex with dogs. – Philip Elmer-DeWitt • The Internet, too, has strong attributes of a public good, and has undermined the “private good” attributes of old media. Internet service providers obviously can exclude people, but the actual content -the values, the ideas- can be shared with no loss of value for the consumer. It is also extremely inexpensive and easy to share material. Sharing is built into the culture and practices of the Web and has made it difficult for the subscription model to be effective. – Robert Waterman McChesney • The Internet]is a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.- Theodore Stevens • The Internets distinct configuration may have made cyberattacks easy to launch, but it has also kindled the flame of freedom. – Jonathan Zittrain • The internet’s perfect for all manner of things, but productive discussion ain’t one of them. It provides scant room for debate and infinite opportunities for fruitless point-scoring: the heady combination of perceived anonymity, gestated responses, random heckling and a notional “live audience” quickly conspire to create a “perfect storm” of perpetual bickering. – Charlie Brooker • The key is really just saying my brain isn’t big enough to figure out why everything happens. It would be like an ant trying to understand the internet. – Rick Warren • The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation. – Sergey Brin • The most important thing for people to understand is that the basic rule that people have a right to send information over the Internet – even when they are using a wireless device – is part of the framework. – Julius Genachowski • The new information technology… Internet and e-mail… have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications. – Peter Drucker • The old internet is shrinking and being replaced by walled gardens over which Google’s crawlers can’t climb. – John Battelle • The penetration of society by the Internet and the penetration of the Internet by society is the best thing that has ever happened to global human civilisation. – Julian Assange • The remarkable social impact and economic success of the Internet is in many ways directly attributable to the architectural characteristics that were part of its design. The Internet was designed with no gatekeepers over new content or services. – Vinton Cerf • The screen is a window through which one sees a virtual world. The challenge is to make that world look real, act real, sound real, feel real. – Ivan Sutherland • 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.- Tim Berners-Lee • The serialization through the Internet or through digital portals, means of ways of communicating, and I think that’s great. – Keanu Reeves • The web site and the Internet are a whole new ball game. – Johnny Ramistella • The whole, ‘Is the internet a good thing or a bad thing’? We’re done with that. It’s just a thing. How to maximise its civic value, its public good – that’s the really big challenge. – Clay Shirky • The worst and the best that the internet ever did was give everybody a voice. – Simon Pegg • There are two things in particular that it [the computer industry] failed to foresee: one was the coming of the Internet(…); the other was the fact that the century would end. – Douglas Adams • There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and the growth of the Internet has jacked up that price. – Monica Lewinsky • There was more data transmitted over the Internet in 2010 than the entire history of the Internet through 2009. – Ben Parr • There’s no real organised body, … so through the internet people have spread their videos, spread photos, and spread word of a new urban movement. – Chris Hayes • Think about this: It was illegal for most people to connect to the internet before 1992.- Steve Case • Thousands of people were producing new Web sites every day. We were just trying to take all that stuff and organize it to make it useful. – David Filo • To get a big company moving fast, especially on a many-headed opportunity like the Internet, you have to have hundreds of people participating and coming up with ideas. – Bill Gates • To seek Truth is automatically a calling for the innate dissident and the subversive; how many are willing to give up safety and security for the perilous life of the spiritual revolutionary? How many are willing to truly learn that their own cherished concepts are wrong? Striking provocative or mysterious poses in the safety of Internet [social media] is far easier than taking the risks involved in the hard work of genuine initiation. – Zeena Schreck • Today with technological advancement, with the Internet, with planes, with the rate at which we travel – even if you wanted, you cannot hide from the rest of the world. And whether you like it or not, you are part of this global marketplace, and so you might as well understand it, you might as well embrace it, because even if you hide, it will find you. – • Together with the rise of the internet, September 11 and its aftermath has changed most of our lives. – Hedi Slimane • Trade on the Internet is becoming very widespread. The problem is our laws have not caught up with electronic commerce. – Susan Bysiewicz • Turns out, theres not a lot of information about pickles on the Internet. – Brian Posehn • US has to be able to rely on a safe and interconnected internet in order to compete with other countries. – Edward Snowden • US spend more on research and development than the other countries, so we shouldn’t be making the internet a more hostile, a more aggressive territory. – Edward Snowden • Use the Internet to get off the Internet! – Scott Heiferman • Video for the Internet has become a testing ground for mediums that actually have revenue. – Mark Cuban • We are excited about Internet access in general. With better access to the Internet, people do more searches. – Larry Page • We believe we’re moving out of the Ice Age, the Iron Age, the Industrial Age, the Information Age, to the participation age. You get on the Net and you do stuff. You IM (instant message), you blog, you take pictures, you publish, you podcast, you transact, you distance learn, you telemedicine. You are participating on the Internet, not just viewing stuff. We build the infrastructure that goes in the data center that facilitates the participation age. We build that big friggin’ Webtone switch. It has security, directory, identity, privacy, storage, compute, the whole Web services stack. – Scott McNealy • We didn’t know the importance of home computers before the Internet. We had them mostly for fun, then the Internet came along and was enabled by all the PCs out there. – Burt Rutan • We have a strong and credible broadband policy because the man who has devised it, the man who will implement it virtually invented the Internet in this country. – Tony Abbott • We must also promote global access to the Internet. We need to bridge the digital divide not just within our country. But among countries. Only by giving people around the world access to this technology can they tap into the potential. Of the information age. – Al Gore • We’re into tech stuff, gadgets, phones, video games. We’ll treat a video game premiere like a movie premiere. I’m just going to be honest with what I like and what I do. What I enjoy. We’re not going to hide the fact that people are on the Internet all day. I think a lot of shows don’t really mention that. – Jimmy Fallon • What we need is a plan B … independent of the Internet. [It] doesn’t necessarily have to have the performance of the Internet, but the police department has to be able to call up the fire department. – Danny Hillis • What, exactly, is the internet? Basically it is a global network exchanging digitized data in such a way that any computer, anywhere, that is equipped with a device called a ‘modem’, can make a noise like a duck choking on a kazoo – Dave Barry • When Bill Clinton assembled the top minds of the nation to discuss the economy in 1992, no one mentioned the Internet. – David Leonhardt • When people conceptualize a cyber-attack, they do tend to think about parts of the critical infrastructure like power plants, water supplies, and similar sort of heavy infrastructure, critical infrastructure areas. And they could be hit, as long as they’re network connected, as long as they have some kind of systems that interact with them that could be manipulated from internet connection. – Edward Snowden • When the Internet first came into public use, it was hailed as a liberation from conformity, a floating world ruled by passion, creativity, innovation and freedom of information. When it was hijacked first by advertising and then by commerce, it seemed like it had been fully co-opted and brought into line with human greed and ambition. – Neil Strauss • When you find yourself on the Internet when you’re supposed to be writing, you’ve already lost. It’s even beyond procrastination when you end up on the Internet. – Noah Baumbach • When you get a small group of fans who hate something, it becomes compounded by the internet. The press picks up the internet like it’s a source. They don’t realise it is just one person typing out their opinion. – George Lucas • When you make the claim that something on the Internet is going to be good for democracy, you often [hear], ‘Are you talking about the thing with the singing cats?’ – Clay Shirky • When you use any kind of internet based capability, any kind of electronic capability, to cause damage to a private entity or a foreign nation or a foreign actor, these are potential acts of war. – Edward Snowden • Who needs evidence when you’ve got the Internet? – Christopher Buckley • Will the highways on the Internet become more few? – George W. Bush • With the development of the Internet…we are in the middle of the most transforming technological event since the capture of fire. I used to think that it was just the biggest thing since Gutenberg, but now I think you have to go back farther. – John Perry Barlow • With YouTube – with the Internet in general – you have information overload. The people who dont necessarily get credit are the curators. – Chad Hurley • You can always find a stray negative comment on the Internet. It’s like everybody loves to put negative comments on the Internet under the cloak of anonymity. – John Legend • You can go back to tulip bulbs in Holland 400 years ago. The human beings going through combinations of fear and greed and all of that sort of thing, their behavior can lead to bubbles. And it may have had and Internet bubble at one time, you’ve had a farm bubble, farmland bubble in the Midwest which resulted in all kinds of tragedy in the early ’80s. – Howard Warren Buffett • You could have these crazy Internet valuations in the late 1990s, but they prove themselves out in the market. The next day they were selling for more than they were the day before, and people said, you know, you’re crazy if you don’t get in on this. So it’s very human. – Howard Warren Buffett • You have to be very clear with yourself about how you’re going to spend your time. When a child is at school or napping, you need to realize that this is your writing time and you don’t spend it surfing the Internet or reading. – Elizabeth Hoyt • You spend money on Internet connection for your employees. Why not spend money on the energy that fuels their brains? – Shawn Achor • Younger feminists actually care about stuff that came before them, the same way that I totally cared about and loved and felt so lucky to have access to the feminism that came before me. To have younger people take what me and my friends have done, and to say ‘We have access to that, but we’re going to put that through our own Internet generation filter and we’re going to make it into something that speaks to us and is a lot smarter.’ – Kathleen Hanna

Internet Quotes
Official Website: Internet Quotes
• A lot of people can be afraid of the masking because people can misrepresent themselves [in the Internet] and they can pose as people they’re not. Well, yeah; that’s true. That’s one side of it. But the other side of it is that it equalizes you and if you happen to be a person who is not equal in the eyes of the greater society that’s a damn good thing. – Augusten Burroughs • A lot of rumours on the Internet are wrong and horrible. – Carine Roitfeld • Access to science is greater than ever before.

No. Will I regret missing the beginning of the Internet? Yes. – Jeff Bezos • America Online customers are upset because the company has decided to allow advertising in its chat rooms.

People went crazy with tulip bulbs. They went crazy with the South Sea Bubble, they went crazy internet stocks, they went crazy with the uranium stocks back when I was first getting started. I mean, you know, you’re not going to change the human animal. And the human animal really doesn’t get a lot smarter. – Howard Warren Buffett • As the most participatory form of mass speech yet developed, the Internet deserves the highest protection from government intrusion. – Stewart Dalzell

Also, alternative newspapers, which exist all over the country. Also, cable TV programs, which are not dependent on commercial advertising. Also, the internet, which can reach millions of people by-passing the conventional media. – Howard Zinn • Because the Internets there, I have access to a lot of the legends, like Fela Kuti.

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Chinese national Internet policy is very simple: Block and clone. – Michael Anti • Cloud computing offers individuals access to data and applications from nearly any point of access to the Internet, offers businesses a whole new way to cut costs for technical infrastructure, and offers big computer companies a potentially giant market for hardware and services. – Jamais Cascio • Crackdowns on Internet content make clear the need for an anonymized Web. Now, someone just needs to implement it. – Jamais Cascio • Cryptography is the essential building block of independence for organisations on the internet, just like armies are the essential building blocks of states, because otherwise one state just takes over another. – Julian Assange • Cutting through the acronyms and argot that littered the hearing testimony, the Internet may fairly be regarded as a never-ending worldwide conversation.

I think there are some people who are on the internet and can fall in love and seem to be in a certain psychological state and other people who are – who couldn’t quite do that. – Keanu Reeves • Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. – Mitchell Kapor • Government investment unlocks a huge amount of private sector activity, but the basic research that we put into IT work that led to the Internet and lots of great companies and jobs, the basic work we put into the health care sector, where it’s over $30 billion a year in R&D that led the biotech and pharma jobs. And it creates jobs and it creates new technologies that will be productized. But the government has to prime the pump here. The basic ideas, as in those other industries, start with government investment. – Bill Gates • Guys should not be allowed to use the Internet all day long. So sad.- Natasha Leggero • Human beings are attracted to novelty: to probe the adjacent possible. We didnt stay in the caves. We didnt stay on the planet, and soon we wont stay within the limitations of our biology. We move forward. We transcend our limits. We go to the moon, and we create the Internet. – Jason Silva • I agree completely with my son James when he says ‘Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything, while the former lights up knowledge’. – Kerry Packer • I always had faith in the internet. I believed in it and thought it was obviously going to change the way the world worked. I really did not understand why others were selling their stock. As stock prices plunged, I just bought them, one after another, since I had the money. I guess I was rather lucky. – Takafumi Horie • I always try and tell dudes that are younger than me is that because of the Internet everyone can just be by themselves doing something, but the importance of a group is being able to have some sort of competition. – Earl Sweatshirt • I always use the Internet. It’s a great marketing tool. It’s a great starting point, allowing you to show your trailer and have people all over world be able to see it. It was much harder in the old days. – Tom Six • I am possibly thinking about doing an Internet show in the future that will highlight political organizations that I seek out to let people know about them, volunteer opportunities, and donation opportunities. – Kathleen Hanna • I coauthored my first nonfiction book by the time I was 25. I have been involved in nonfiction documentaries, newspapers, TV and internet since that time.- Julian Assange • I do get offered a lot more roles than I choose to do.

You know, it’s still something I enjoy as a movie geek myself to get on and, like, look at all the websites; however, when it comes to marketing a movie, the Internet is still not the thing that gets people to the theatre. – Michael De Luca • I don’t worry about anything in the Internet age. I have been online since I was aware of it: 1985 in San Francisco. It has changed everything in my life. I would not want to even be alive in an era that did not have it because it is essential to our evolution as a species. – Augusten Burroughs • I graduated from high school in 1963. There were no computers, cell phones, Internet, credit cards, cassette tapes or cable TV. – Jeffrey Gitomer • I had had a lot of experience in bringing the Internet to Australia, and I saw that knowledge in the hands of people achieves reform.- Julian Assange • I hate auditioning; it makes me more nervous than anything ever, and I always feel like I wasted my time and I could have been creating my own thing. With the Internet, you have so much freedom that ‘gatekeepers’ make me terrified. – Grace Helbig • I have a very low tolerance for boredom and often think I would have missed out on books entirely if Id grown up in the Internet and video game age. Now I enjoy books for people of all ages, including children. – Rick Yancey • I have always had stuff on the internet, way back in the Myspace days, I had a lot of friends on Myspace. And it is just all about like networking – contacting people and showing people, like, your mind. – Kreayshawn • I have an almost religious zeal… not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up. – Dan Millman • I have no internet savvy whatsoever, but I love researching things. The Internet is my library… beyond that, I’m completely intimidated by it. – Drew Barrymore • I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially… They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck. It’s a series of tubes. – Theodore Stevens • I live in a bubble. I don’t read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don’t know what people are saying because, well I guess I’m afraid to. – Ron Perlman • I love the Internet, and I love wasting time on the Internet – even though it sometimes ends up being not being a waste of time. – Claire Cameron • I sometimes wonder how we spent leisure time before satellite television and Internet came along…and then I realise that I have spent more than half of my life in the ‘dark ages’! – Arthur C. Clarke • I think [the virtual choir] speaks well to a benevolent future for the Internet. – Eric Whitacre • I think it’s a bit silly to brand the Internet as the ‘downfall of youth.’- Ernest Cline • I think middle America has changed very, very much.

All the men talked about how much they love their wife, which I don’t hear all the time in art communities.- John Waters • I think that online harassment has become so ubiquitous on the Internet that a lot of women do feel safer, whatever that means, in spaces where they know like people are not going to bother them in that kind of way. – Jessica Valenti • I think that the Internet is our most profound and beautiful achievement. It is magnificent. We have the Internet as a layer of our thinking that doesn’t control us, we control it, yet we don’t have to be aware of it. It will be like a suit that really fits well. – Augusten Burroughs • I think there is a possible future where maybe we do just take a hard turn away from the Internet and we do start valuing our privacy again. – Brian K. Vaughan • I think with every successful consumer Internet business, there will be lawyers that are interested in going after your company, especially when they think that there’s a financial incentive. – Jeremy Stoppelman • I use the Internet for what it’s for: to learn. – Danny Brown • I want to preserve the free and open Internet – the experience that most users and entrepreneurs have come to expect and enjoy today and that has unleashed impressive innovation, job creation, and investment. – Julius Genachowski • I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website – but on the internet, people only look at pictures of kittens. – Banksy • I wanted to reexamine the idea of the album for generations of people who are not my age, who love music or learning about music or are finding this band called R.E.M. or have just previously heard “Losing My Religion” and “Everybody Hurts” as their elevator music. I wanted to present an idea of what an album could be in the age of YouTube and the Internet. – Christopher Bollen • I was inspired by the Hole in the Wall project, where a computer with an internet connection was put in a Delhi slum. When the slum was revisited after a month, the children of that slum had learned how to use the worldwide web. – Sugata Mitra • I wont deny that I have a far more productive writing life without the Internet, mostly because I rekindle my ability to concentrate on one thing for a period of longer than three minutes. My curiosity is channeled inward rather than Internet-ward. – Heidi Julavits • I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she’s too young to have logged on yet. Here’s what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say ‘Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?’ – Mike Godwin • I’d like to know what the Internet is going to look like in 2050. Thinking about it makes me wish I were eight years old. – Vinton Cerf • If I do need to make money suddenly, I prefer to just draw something I want to draw and have someone else sell it for me on the Internet. – Chester Brown • If some unemployed punk in New Jersey, can get a cassette to make love to Elle McPherson for $19.95, this virtual reality stuff is going to make crack look like Sanka. – Dennis Miller • If the Internet can be described as a giant human consciousness, then viral marketing is the illusion of free will. – George Pendle • If the Internet is worth its salt, it has to help arrest the forces that promote inequality, monopoly, hypercommercialism, corruption, depoliticization and stagnation. – Robert Waterman McChesney • If the Internet turns out not to be the future of computing, we’re toast. But if it is, we’re golden. – Larry Ellison • If you and I got on an airplane, you’re going to L.A., Los Angeles, and I’m going to Senegal, we get there about the same time. The world is just that small. So a world that is so tightly bound by science and technology and now Internet and the web page, that world is too small for bullies. It has no room in that world for arrogance. – Jesse Jackson • If you have a kid and you try irony out on them, they don’t get it at 7, 8 years old. You can’t really hide the Internet from kids. It worries me some particularly because I’ve done Disney and Pixar stuff. – Randy Newman • If you hear an expert talking about the Internet and saying it [does] this, or it will do that, you should treat it with the same skepticism that you might treat the comments of an economist about the economy or a weatherman about the weather.- Danny Hillis • If you look at the evolution of games from console to Internet to mobile, and look at social networking from Web to mobile, everything is fragmenting. – Chris DeWolfe • If you offer people a decent service, if you give them you know Internet access, if their phones are not cut off on the trains, you know if you have plugs where they can plug in their computers, and if you have a smiling, cheerful staff; and if you can travel really quickly, then you can make a success out of the rail business. – Richard Branson • I’m a great believer in particularly being alert to changes that change something, anything, by an order of magnitude, and nothing operates with the factors of 10 as profoundly as the Internet. – Andy Grove • Im accustomed to Internet forums where rudeness and incivility are the rule, where too many people seem to take pride in their insults. – Bryan Burrough • I’m lucky enough to have been in the age before the internet and now during the internet. I’m grateful to be a witness to that. It’s horse and buggy versus car. To see how quickly things change has given me a renewed sense of optimism. Does that make sense? – Kathleen Hanna Impact, Roles, Stuff • In a way, the whole music industry is just catering to the inherent esteem issues all these artists have – it lays it all out on the line and baits the artist, like a light baits a mosquito. And you go right into it. With every comment on the internet, you go up, you go down, and it’s a big shitshow full of uneducated people. – Willis Earl Beal • In much the same way, motherhood has become the essential female experience, valued above all others: giving life is where it’s at. Give birth in cities where accommodation is precarious, schools have surrendered the fight and children are subject to the most vicious mental assault through advertising, TV, internet, fizzy drink manufacturers and so on. Without children you will never be fulfilled as a woman, but bringing up kids in decent conditions is almost impossible. – Virginie Despentes • In order for us [people] to progress, we need brilliance and brilliance isn’t fair and it’s not polite and we can’t grow it. It happens. Genius happens and it doesn’t always happen in a zip code where we can access it. Therefore, we kind of need [Internet] not to keep tabs on everybody but we need to give them access to everybody else. – Augusten Burroughs • In production, in the first couple of weeks of production, that it was more like making an internet musical. – Joss Whedon • In the Internet age, with the screaming on the radio, etc., it is hard to know what to believe and who is informed and who is not. – Michael Specter • In this business, by the time you realize you’re in trouble, it’s too late to save yourself. Unless you’re running scared all the time, you’re gone. – Bill Gates Information, Pickles, Turns • Innovation is what America does best. Whether it is the Apollo Project to the moon, developing the most advanced defense technologies available, the rise of the Internet or the latest advancements in biomedical gene therapies, our nation leads the world in transformative innovations. – Martin Heinrich • Internet technology, like anything else that mankind creates is a tool and that tool can be used for good or for evil, like a light saber. Technology is supposed to bring people together, streamline things and make life easier and in a lot of ways it does that. However, technology can also disconnect you from other people and break down the social network, the real social network of family and friends and interpersonal communication, and isolate people, make them feel alone, make them feel small. So it’s a tool that needs to be used correctly. – Rainn Wilson • Internet users, that blue screen of death you were looking at this morning? That’s the sky. If you’re still confused, look it up on Wikipedia tomorrow. – Stephen Colbert • It all stems from the same thing – which is that when we are face to face – and this is what I think is so ironic about Facebook being called Facebook, because we are not face to face on Facebook … when we are face to face, we are inhibited by the presence of the other. We are inhibited from aggression by the presence of another face, another person. We’re aware that we’re with a human being. On the Internet, we are disinhibited from taking into full account that we are in the presence of another human being. – Sherry Turkle • It is possible to think that the Internet will be a net positive for society while admitting that there are significant downsides – after all, it’s not a revolution if nobody loses. – Clay Shirky • It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that the Internet has evolved into a force strong enough to reflect the greatest hopes and fears of those who use it. After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics. – Denise Caruso • Its flattering that there are lots of Internet fan sites about me. Im a bit of a technophobe and I dont even own a laptop, but its probably a good thing Im not logged on, checking up on what everyone is saying about me. – Jonas Armstrong • It’s important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It’s not only life of babies, but it’s life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet. – George W. Bush • It’s like they say in the Internet world — if you’re doing the same thing today you were doing six months ago, you’re doing the wrong thing. Parents can learn a lot from that. – Bruce Feiler • It’s very advantageous to be sensitive with your work – and, yet, being sensitive, in reality, when criticized, it can annihilate you. It can destroy you. And with the internet there sometimes is a lot of harm, which I find must be very difficult for youngsters coming on – it can be very harsh; the criticism. And, sometimes, it can be a little cruel – which makes it hard for young performers coming on. – Michael Crawford • I’ve learned a lot about things because of the Internet. I’m happy with it, but it’s a long road for me. I’m still definitely a little anti. – Patrick Stump • John Kerry is finding out that it is no fun to be the front runner, that’s when you get all the heat. He had to deny internet rumors this week that he had Botox treatments. The Republicans say Kerry should have a clear, unfurrowed brow the old fashioned way by not giving a sh–. – Bill Maher • Just as the Internet drops transaction and collaboration costs in business and government, it also drops the cost of dissent, of rebellion, and even insurrection. – Don Tapscott • Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects. – Stewart Dalzell • Just as we could have rode into the sunset, along came the Internet, and it tripled the significance of the PC. – Andy Grove • Magazines that depend on photography, and design, and long reads, and quality stuff, are going to do just fine despite the Internet and cable news. – Jann Wenner • Most Internet business theorists are really looking at preserving the necks of giant, Fortune 500 companies, rather than promoting the digital, peer-to-peer economy that actually wants to happen. – Douglas Rushkoff • Most kids come home from school. They don’t go to their TVs first. They go to the Internet. They check their emails, or some blogs, or some sites. Then they go watch TV. Other people are at work all day 9-5 in front of a computer. They see certain clips. We’re not going to hide the fact that people use the Internet. We’re going to try to be as interactive as possible with our fans. I’m currently on Twitter and Facebook and Flicker and Dig. I’m on all that stuff. – Jimmy Fallon • My favorite thing about the Internet is that you get to go into the private world of real creeps without having to smell them.- Penn Jillette • My wife and I have purchased two hybrids. We bought a 3 kw photovoltaic unit. We recycle and offset our carbon emissions on the Internet. We turn things off. But we also spend two nice salaries every year, and here’s the dirty little secret – our environmental footprint is HUGE, I’m sure. We’ve all got to do what we can in our individual lives, but we’ve also got to drive the systemic changes that will make the big differences. – James Gustave Speth • Net Neutrality’ is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government. – Ted Cruz • Net neutrality was essential for our economy; it was essential to preserve freedom and openness, both for economic reasons and free speech reasons, and the government had a role in ensuring that Internet freedom was protected.- Julius Genachowski • Newspapers and magazines didn’t want pictures of musicians behaving badly back then. Now, because of the Internet, that’s all the media wants. – Mick Rock • Nowadays we have so many things that take our attention – phones, Internet – and perhaps we need to disconnect from those and focus on the immediate world around us and the people that are actually present. – Nicholas Hoult • Nowadays, anyone who cannot speak English and is incapable of using the Internet is regarded as backward. – Al-Waleed bin Talal • On Chinese Internet, freedom is a targeted and precise window. – Michael Anti • On the Internet you get continuous innovation, so every year the streams are a little better. – Reed Hastings • On the Internet, everyone is writing. There is a great flowering of writing.- James Salter • On the Internet, there are an unlimited number of competitors. Anybody with a Flip camera is your competition. What makes it even worse is that YouTube is willing to subsidize the cost of your bandwidth. So anybody can create and distribute for free basically, but the real cost is marketing. And that’s always the big cost – how do you stand out and what’s the cost of standing out? And there’s no limit to that cost. – Mark Cuban • One of the Internet’s strengths is its ability to help consumers find the right needle in a digital haystack of data. – Jared Sandberg • One of the myths about the Internet of Things is that companies have all the data they need, but their real challenge is making sense of it. In reality, the cost of collecting some kinds of data remains too high, the quality of the data isn’t always good enough, and it remains difficult to integrate multiple data sources. – Chris Murphy • One of the things I like about making stuff in the age of the Internet, is that people make stuff in response to it. You can see people respond to your work visually or musically or with writing.- John Green • One of the things that I realized when I left office was that in the 1990’s citizens across the world applied more power than they had ever had, as compared with the government, because of more people living under democracies than dictatorships for the first time, the power of the internet, which the young Chinese used to basically change China’s policy on the SARS epidemic, and shut it down, and because of the rise in non-governmental organizations like my foundation. – William J. Clinton • One of the wonderful things about Internet is its like a salon. It brings people together from different intellectual walks of life. – Eric Kandel • People are mostly focused on defending the computers on the Internet, and there’s been surprisingly little attention to defending the Internet itself as a communications medium. And I think we probably do need to pay some more attention to that, because it’s actually kind of fragile.- Danny Hillis • People depend on the Open Internet to connect and communicate with each other freely. Voters need it to inform themselves before casting ballots. Without prompt corrective action by the Commission to reclassify broadband, this awful ruling will serve as a sorry memorial to the corporate abrogation of free speech. – Michael Copps • People over the age of thirty were born before the digital revolution really started. We’ve learned to use digital technology-laptops, cameras, personal digital assistants, the Internet-as adults, and it has been something like learning a foreign language. Most of us are okay, and some are even expert. We do e-mails and PowerPoint, surf the Internet, and feel we’re at the cutting edge. But compared to most people under thirty and certainly under twenty, we are fumbling amateurs. People of that age were born after the digital revolution began. They learned to speak digital as a mother tongue. – Ken Robinson • People wouldn’t go on Facebook unless they wanted to share with groups of people. But there is this perception that you have been on a course to push people’s information where it’s visible across the Internet unless they do a bunch of stuff. – Walt Mossberg • Privacy is not an option, and it shouldn’t be the price we accept for just getting on the Internet. – Gary Kovacs • Reddit is not a public utility or a public square; its a privately owned space on the Internet. – John Scalzi • Science fiction does not remain fiction for long. And certainly not on the Internet. – Vinton Cerf • Social media and the Internet haven’t changed our capacity for social interaction any more than the Internet has changed our ability to be in love or our basic propensity to violence, because those are such fundamental human attributes. – Nicholas A. Christakis • Some jerk infected the Internet with an outright lie. It shows how easy it is to do and how credulous people are. – Kurt Vonnegut • Thanks is part to our education system, we tend to think that we’re smarter than the stupid guys in funny wigs who came before us. But that’s because we are mistaking technology, progress, and access to information for intelligence. We think that because we know how to use iPhones (but not build them), browse the Internet (but not understand how it works), and use Google (but not really know anything), our educational system is working just great. By the same token, we think that those dumb aristocrats who used horses to get around and didn’t have electricity were neanderthals. – Glenn Beck • That is, we’re into a whole new world with the Internet, and whenever we sort of cross another plateau in our development, there are those who seek to take advantage of it. So this is a replay of things that have happened throughout our history. – William J. Clinton • The American revolutionaries believed in the power of the word. But they had only word of mouth and the printing press. We have the Internet. – Robert Darnton • The artistic desire reveals itself in dark form – in karaoke bars [or] trolling on the Internet. – Young-Ha Kim • The big change, the really radical change in communication, was in the late 19th century. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph is astronomical. Everything since then has been small increments, including the internet. – Noam Chomsky • The big downside to the global village that the Internet has created is that nothing has time to grow out of the public gaze and, even more dangerous, whatever your personal interests might be, there will always be someone somewhere to provide validation and encouragement. – Derek Ridgers • The boom was healthy too, even with its excesses. Because what this incredible valuation craze did was draw untold sums of billions of dollars into building the Internet infrastructure. The hundreds of billions of dollars that got invested in telecommunications, for example. – Andy Grove • The constant buzz and pressure and noise and static of the Internet, and the way it makes young people feel makes it difficult to grow up and develop the way one might want to. – Ethan Hawke • The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I’d been up all night inventing the Camcorder. – Al Gore • The Internet “browser”… is the piece of software that puts a message on your computer screen informing you that the Internet is currently busy and you should try again later. – Dave Barry • The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. Someone the other day said, “It’s the biggest thing since Gutenberg,” and then someone else said “No, it’s the biggest thing since the invention of writing.”- Rupert Murdoch • The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. – Rupert Murdoch • The Internet has really democratized ideas. There are no real gatekeepers any more, because if you have a great idea, and you put it online, people will find it and it will get in front of who it needs to get in front of. – Justin Halpern • The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, “people without lives.” We don’t care. We have each other. – Dave Barry • The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, “people without lives.” We don’t care. We have each other…. While you are destroying your mind watching the worthless, brain-rotting drivel on TV, we on the Internet are exchanging, freely and openly, the most settings, uninhibited, intimate and, yes, shocking details about our “CONFIG.SYS.” – Dave Barry • The Internet is a telephone system that’s gotten uppity. – Clifford Stoll • The Internet is a very intimate entertainment experience. I’m in my own apartment talking to people, and I want them to feel like they’re with me in my apartment. So if I’m listening to them and taking ideas from them and being honest with how I’m feeling, it resonates even more that we’re having a real, actual conversation. – Grace Helbig • The Internet is all about accessing entertainment. Realistically, 50 to 80 percent of all traffic is people downloading stuff for free. If you can turn that huge market share into something that you can monetize, even if it is just with ads, you will end up making more money than with all other revenue streams combined. – Kim Dotcom • The internet is an amazing medium for languages. – David Crystal • The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow. – Bill Gates • The Internet is disrupting every media industry…people can complain about that, but complaining is not a strategy. And Amazon is not happening to book selling, the future is happening to book selling. – Jeff Bezos • The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom. – Jon Stewart • The Internet is like a gold-rush; the only people making money are those who sell the pans. – Will Hobbs • The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect. – Esther Dyson • The Internet is merely a new means of communication, that’s all it is. It serves the purpose of getting information, which it is fantastic at. I mean, I live by the Internet in terms of research and it’s incredible – there’s nothing that you can’t find out about. It’s not stopped me going to bookshops but I must say that I don’t go into as many because any book I want. – David Bowie • The internet is necessarily public. It can be filtered-public or censored-public, but it necessarily has to be open and available. – John Green • The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn’t understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had. – Eric Schmidt • The Internet is the great equalizer.The technology which emanated from the Silicon Valley of California has more potential to ameliorate social inequality than any development in the history of the world, including the industrial revolution. – Benazir Bhutto • The Internet is the greatest thing that ever happened to the entertainment industry. – Michael Ovitz • The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting. – Dave Barry • The internet makes everything not enough. – Alec Sulkin • The Internet nowadays is all sensationalism, and it’s just terrifying when you’re actually experiencing it as a person.- Bradford Cox • The Internet seems like a safe house for the opposite mentality, for cynics and for jerks and for people who want to lash out. And it’s a valid thing. It’s a valid forum and I’m not going say that they aren’t valid feelings. But it’s sad. Considering the potential that something like the Internet, that connects so many people, has for good. I think it’s sad that it’s used so often for nothing but unfounded, overzealous negativity. – Chris Gethard • The Internet shapes my life and work so completely that I couldn’t imagine living without it. – Nicola Formichetti • The Internet was done so well that most people think of it as a natural resource like the Pacific Ocean, rather than something that was man-made. When was the last time a technology with a scale like that was so error-free? The Web, in comparison, is a joke. The Web was done by amateurs. – Alan Kay • The Internet will help achieve “friction free capitalism” by putting buyer and seller in direct contact and providing more information to both about each other. – Bill Gates • The Internet, I’m trying to point out, is a kooks’ paradise. Anybody with a keyboard and a modem can spread fear, loathing, and just plain asinine ideas among hundreds of thousands of people with the click of a button. Discouraging, but true. – David F. Emery • The Internet, of course, is more than a place to find pictures of people having sex with dogs. – Philip Elmer-DeWitt • The Internet, too, has strong attributes of a public good, and has undermined the “private good” attributes of old media. Internet service providers obviously can exclude people, but the actual content -the values, the ideas- can be shared with no loss of value for the consumer. It is also extremely inexpensive and easy to share material. Sharing is built into the culture and practices of the Web and has made it difficult for the subscription model to be effective. – Robert Waterman McChesney • The Internet]is a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.- Theodore Stevens • The Internets distinct configuration may have made cyberattacks easy to launch, but it has also kindled the flame of freedom. – Jonathan Zittrain • The internet’s perfect for all manner of things, but productive discussion ain’t one of them. It provides scant room for debate and infinite opportunities for fruitless point-scoring: the heady combination of perceived anonymity, gestated responses, random heckling and a notional “live audience” quickly conspire to create a “perfect storm” of perpetual bickering. – Charlie Brooker • The key is really just saying my brain isn’t big enough to figure out why everything happens. It would be like an ant trying to understand the internet. – Rick Warren • The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation. – Sergey Brin • The most important thing for people to understand is that the basic rule that people have a right to send information over the Internet – even when they are using a wireless device – is part of the framework. – Julius Genachowski • The new information technology… Internet and e-mail… have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications. – Peter Drucker • The old internet is shrinking and being replaced by walled gardens over which Google’s crawlers can’t climb. – John Battelle • The penetration of society by the Internet and the penetration of the Internet by society is the best thing that has ever happened to global human civilisation. – Julian Assange • The remarkable social impact and economic success of the Internet is in many ways directly attributable to the architectural characteristics that were part of its design. The Internet was designed with no gatekeepers over new content or services. – Vinton Cerf • The screen is a window through which one sees a virtual world. The challenge is to make that world look real, act real, sound real, feel real. – Ivan Sutherland • 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.- Tim Berners-Lee • The serialization through the Internet or through digital portals, means of ways of communicating, and I think that’s great. – Keanu Reeves • The web site and the Internet are a whole new ball game. – Johnny Ramistella • The whole, ‘Is the internet a good thing or a bad thing’? We’re done with that. It’s just a thing. How to maximise its civic value, its public good – that’s the really big challenge. – Clay Shirky • The worst and the best that the internet ever did was give everybody a voice. – Simon Pegg • There are two things in particular that it [the computer industry] failed to foresee: one was the coming of the Internet(…); the other was the fact that the century would end. – Douglas Adams • There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and the growth of the Internet has jacked up that price. – Monica Lewinsky • There was more data transmitted over the Internet in 2010 than the entire history of the Internet through 2009. – Ben Parr • There’s no real organised body, … so through the internet people have spread their videos, spread photos, and spread word of a new urban movement. – Chris Hayes • Think about this: It was illegal for most people to connect to the internet before 1992.- Steve Case • Thousands of people were producing new Web sites every day. We were just trying to take all that stuff and organize it to make it useful. – David Filo • To get a big company moving fast, especially on a many-headed opportunity like the Internet, you have to have hundreds of people participating and coming up with ideas. – Bill Gates • To seek Truth is automatically a calling for the innate dissident and the subversive; how many are willing to give up safety and security for the perilous life of the spiritual revolutionary? How many are willing to truly learn that their own cherished concepts are wrong? Striking provocative or mysterious poses in the safety of Internet [social media] is far easier than taking the risks involved in the hard work of genuine initiation. – Zeena Schreck • Today with technological advancement, with the Internet, with planes, with the rate at which we travel – even if you wanted, you cannot hide from the rest of the world. And whether you like it or not, you are part of this global marketplace, and so you might as well understand it, you might as well embrace it, because even if you hide, it will find you. – • Together with the rise of the internet, September 11 and its aftermath has changed most of our lives. – Hedi Slimane • Trade on the Internet is becoming very widespread. The problem is our laws have not caught up with electronic commerce. – Susan Bysiewicz • Turns out, theres not a lot of information about pickles on the Internet. – Brian Posehn • US has to be able to rely on a safe and interconnected internet in order to compete with other countries. – Edward Snowden • US spend more on research and development than the other countries, so we shouldn’t be making the internet a more hostile, a more aggressive territory. – Edward Snowden • Use the Internet to get off the Internet! – Scott Heiferman • Video for the Internet has become a testing ground for mediums that actually have revenue. – Mark Cuban • We are excited about Internet access in general. With better access to the Internet, people do more searches. – Larry Page • We believe we’re moving out of the Ice Age, the Iron Age, the Industrial Age, the Information Age, to the participation age. You get on the Net and you do stuff. You IM (instant message), you blog, you take pictures, you publish, you podcast, you transact, you distance learn, you telemedicine. You are participating on the Internet, not just viewing stuff. We build the infrastructure that goes in the data center that facilitates the participation age. We build that big friggin’ Webtone switch. It has security, directory, identity, privacy, storage, compute, the whole Web services stack. – Scott McNealy • We didn’t know the importance of home computers before the Internet. We had them mostly for fun, then the Internet came along and was enabled by all the PCs out there. – Burt Rutan • We have a strong and credible broadband policy because the man who has devised it, the man who will implement it virtually invented the Internet in this country. – Tony Abbott • We must also promote global access to the Internet. We need to bridge the digital divide not just within our country. But among countries. Only by giving people around the world access to this technology can they tap into the potential. Of the information age. – Al Gore • We’re into tech stuff, gadgets, phones, video games. We’ll treat a video game premiere like a movie premiere. I’m just going to be honest with what I like and what I do. What I enjoy. We’re not going to hide the fact that people are on the Internet all day. I think a lot of shows don’t really mention that. – Jimmy Fallon • What we need is a plan B … independent of the Internet. [It] doesn’t necessarily have to have the performance of the Internet, but the police department has to be able to call up the fire department. – Danny Hillis • What, exactly, is the internet? Basically it is a global network exchanging digitized data in such a way that any computer, anywhere, that is equipped with a device called a ‘modem’, can make a noise like a duck choking on a kazoo – Dave Barry • When Bill Clinton assembled the top minds of the nation to discuss the economy in 1992, no one mentioned the Internet. – David Leonhardt • When people conceptualize a cyber-attack, they do tend to think about parts of the critical infrastructure like power plants, water supplies, and similar sort of heavy infrastructure, critical infrastructure areas. And they could be hit, as long as they’re network connected, as long as they have some kind of systems that interact with them that could be manipulated from internet connection. – Edward Snowden • When the Internet first came into public use, it was hailed as a liberation from conformity, a floating world ruled by passion, creativity, innovation and freedom of information. When it was hijacked first by advertising and then by commerce, it seemed like it had been fully co-opted and brought into line with human greed and ambition. – Neil Strauss • When you find yourself on the Internet when you’re supposed to be writing, you’ve already lost. It’s even beyond procrastination when you end up on the Internet. – Noah Baumbach • When you get a small group of fans who hate something, it becomes compounded by the internet. The press picks up the internet like it’s a source. They don’t realise it is just one person typing out their opinion. – George Lucas • When you make the claim that something on the Internet is going to be good for democracy, you often [hear], ‘Are you talking about the thing with the singing cats?’ – Clay Shirky • When you use any kind of internet based capability, any kind of electronic capability, to cause damage to a private entity or a foreign nation or a foreign actor, these are potential acts of war. – Edward Snowden • Who needs evidence when you’ve got the Internet? – Christopher Buckley • Will the highways on the Internet become more few? – George W. Bush • With the development of the Internet…we are in the middle of the most transforming technological event since the capture of fire. I used to think that it was just the biggest thing since Gutenberg, but now I think you have to go back farther. – John Perry Barlow • With YouTube – with the Internet in general – you have information overload. The people who dont necessarily get credit are the curators. – Chad Hurley • You can always find a stray negative comment on the Internet. It’s like everybody loves to put negative comments on the Internet under the cloak of anonymity. – John Legend • You can go back to tulip bulbs in Holland 400 years ago. The human beings going through combinations of fear and greed and all of that sort of thing, their behavior can lead to bubbles. And it may have had and Internet bubble at one time, you’ve had a farm bubble, farmland bubble in the Midwest which resulted in all kinds of tragedy in the early ’80s. – Howard Warren Buffett • You could have these crazy Internet valuations in the late 1990s, but they prove themselves out in the market. The next day they were selling for more than they were the day before, and people said, you know, you’re crazy if you don’t get in on this. So it’s very human. – Howard Warren Buffett • You have to be very clear with yourself about how you’re going to spend your time. When a child is at school or napping, you need to realize that this is your writing time and you don’t spend it surfing the Internet or reading. – Elizabeth Hoyt • You spend money on Internet connection for your employees. Why not spend money on the energy that fuels their brains? – Shawn Achor • Younger feminists actually care about stuff that came before them, the same way that I totally cared about and loved and felt so lucky to have access to the feminism that came before me. To have younger people take what me and my friends have done, and to say ‘We have access to that, but we’re going to put that through our own Internet generation filter and we’re going to make it into something that speaks to us and is a lot smarter.’ – Kathleen Hanna
