I think all students start off with incredible ability and curiosity, and if they're given the opportunity to pursue that, if they're given a chance to see the neat things about the world in terms that they can appreciate and enjoy, that their abilities will be reinforced and that we'll really achieve so much more potential out of the great students we have than we do today. |
I think five or six years ago, if you'd said to people that software would be incredible in terms of making photos better, music better, TV better, phone calls very different, they would have been quite skeptical, they would have thought, 'How can software do that? Now, particularly in music and to some degree in TV, they've seen that it makes a huge difference. It allows them to pick the things that they're interested in, it allows them to see it when they want to, to share with friends what they've seen and what they like. |
I think if you go out five years from now, and look at portable computers, virtually all of those will have this tablet capability. |
I think it was an interesting milestone. |
I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user. |
I think several of us were spoiled by having access to supercomputers, ... You got this sense that you personally wanted to have a tool like that. |
I think there certainly was a milestone in the '90s with regards to the Internet achieving critical mass. There were several magical factors that came together: the creation of HTML by Tim Berners-Lee, the drop in the price of communications, and all the PCs out there that you could put this software into. |
I think you'll be amazed at the maturity we've gotten in the areas of hardware, battery life and software. |
I thought digital technology would eventually reverse urbanization, and so far that hasn't happened. But people always overestimate how much will change in the next three years, and they underestimate how much will change over the next 10 years. |
I used to be begging people to pay attention to security. Now they get it. Security is part of everyone's job. |
I used to think I wouldn't be all that interested in the baby until she was two or so and could talk, ... But I'm totally into it now. She's just started to say 'ba-ba' and have a personality. |
I want my DTV! |
I will continue to value his friendship and counsel in the years ahead, |
I'd be as bold as to say that over the next three years the majority of companies will decide that having streaming media for the information they share internally and externally will be of critical importance, |
I'd be happy if I could think that the role of the library was sustained and even enhanced in the age of the computer. |
