I'm disappointed in people in general.
There's an old maxim that says, 'Things that work persist,' which is why there's still Cobol floating around.
On email and the first instance of spam: This is not for advertising! This is for serious work!
My belief is that there will be very large numbers of Internet-enabled devices on the Net - home appliances, office equipment, things in the car and maybe things that you carry around. And since they're all on the Internet and Internet-enabled, they'll be manageable through the network, and so we'll see people using the Net and applications on the Net to manage their entertainment systems, manage their, you know, office activities and maybe even much of their social lives using systems on the Net that are helping them perform that function.
We live in a very complex world.
There has been a substitution of ideology for fact and scientific and engineering data in this administration.
In a small company, you often see a lot more of what goes on in a broader range of things. And that's good.
Written communication is a tremendous help for me, and so when electronic mail was invented in '71, I got very excited about it, thinking well, gee, the deaf community could really use this, or the hard of hearing community as well.
Today we have 1 billion users on the Net. By 2010 we will have maybe 2 billion.
If you are deaf, you need captions for spoken elements. If you are blind, you need voiced descriptions of Web contents and spoken renderings of e-mail. The range of physical disabilities is very large, and we need many different tools to overcome the consequential barriers to Internet use.

The hackers don't want to destroy the network. They want to keep it running, so they can keep making money from it.
Power corrupts, and PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.
At some point, you can't lift this boulder with just your own strength. And if you find that you need to move bigger and bigger boulders up hills, you will need more and more help.
Those are all computational engines that are highly distributed and therefore highly robust, .. We're seeing a very significant evolution in the way we even think about computer systems, let alone specific applications.
Their Internet usage is growing very rapidly, and even they can do the math: If everyone in China needed an IPv4 address - just one - this country would use up one third of the entire public IP address space.
There was something amazingly enticing about programming.
Google’s objective is to organize the world’s information and to make it accessible. Unicode plays a central role in this effort because it is the principal means by which content in every language can be represented in a form that can be processed by software. As Unicode extends its coverage of the world’s languages, it helps Google accomplish its mission.
I can imagine people actually working in virtual environments where productive, cooperative work is undertaken, and I think we will find people helping others to take advantage of masses of information that are inaccessible or too vast to process in real time today.
People's motivations haven't changed in maybe 400 or maybe 4,000 years.
Now, more than ever, the Internet must be wielded along with other media to cast bright lights on all who would destroy freedom in the world.
I believe that the problem of global climate change will ultimately spur our global society to respond and while the condition does not appear to be reversible, we will find ways to adapt to it.
In a town of 3,000 people there is no privacy. Everybody knows what everybody is doing.
Privacy may actually be an anomaly.
Although I've had several major career changes, I was extremely hesitant about making some of them.
