Although I have no plans to tweet, I am fascinated by developments on the Internet.
It [the internet] probably has the effect of weakening personal associations.
Like most technology, the internet has mixed effects. It's a neutral instrument.
As a research tool, the internet is invaluable.
Then people started using it more and more and it became the most downloaded software on the internet.
You can't trust the internet.
The Internet shapes my life and work so completely that I couldn't imagine living without it.
I wouldn't even say the internet is a gift and a curse for hip-hop. All types of music are bootlegged, including movies which are bootlegged.
The Internet is the greatest tool for any artist to have interaction with any audience.
New York allows you to go deeper into the person you want to be. You're able to explore whatever your specific interests might be. You can eat good Japanese food if you want to eat good Japanese food. You can go and see your favorite author reading, and you can still listen to Radio Ulster on the internet as you have your breakfast. I love that.
I guess there should be somewhere on the Internet that feels like a source of sacred truth. But Wikipedia sure isn't it.
I have no plans to use the Internet as the main subject of a novel.
I'm not hard to find. I'm all over the Internet.
Access to science is greater than ever before. There are more vehicles out there that grant the public access to science. Not to mention the Internet.
The magic words 'on the Internet,' if inserted into nearly any sentence, seem to protect it from normal critical scrutiny.
I attend Internet conferences all the time, and they literally make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
With the Internet there is even more fractioning since we are in echo chambers. With so much propaganda it is hard to calm down enough to listen.
I feel like the internet also affects originality a lot, because music is so easily shared nowadays, it seems like artists have collectively explored most of the grounds that music has to offer.
There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and the growth of the Internet has jacked up that price.
The mobile phone is very dangerous. If you're walking and looking at your phone, you're not walking - you're surfing the internet.
As people continue to do more and buy more over the Internet, continue to meet people over the Internet, connection speeds are going to get faster, and the Internet is just going to become an even more integral part of people's lives.
Personally I find the democratic chaos of the Internet fascinating, and for the most part really benign.
So many commercial orgs have software where you can come and modify it but they still control everything. And what's controlled is very clearly what's good for their business, or if they're more progressive, their view of what's good for the Internet.
In 2010, you have roughly 38 billion dollars spent by government on cyber and telecoms security and another 60 billion or so by private corporations. So approximately 100 billion dollars spent on security, mostly on technological solutions, which the corporates are offering governments in particular; it's a very high growth area. So everyone is climbing over each other to get the contracts for government procurement on this. There is undoubtedly an element of this and that's what encourages, in part, the whole idea of locking down the Internet.
If there is an event for whatever reason, which interferes with the Internet or network communications, are people able to deal with it? It seems like our dependency on these systems is so great that the room for maneuver as it were is very small. So that is problematic.
