I think that the Internet and print behave in a complementary manner.

People's social networks do not consist only of people they see face to face. In fact, social networks have been extending because of artificial media since the printing press and the telephone.

TV and the press have always functioned according to the same sets of rules and technical standards. But the Internet is based on software. And anybody can write a new piece of software on the Internet that years later a billion people are using.

The Internet is a tool, a technology, and we like to say that it has all of these properties, but really, it's just a place where our writing is.

You used to have to own a radio tower or television tower or printing press. Now all you have to have is access to an Internet cafe or a public library, and you can put your thoughts out in public.

The Internet has brought communities across the globe closer together through instant communication.

Smart phones and social media expand our universe. We can connect with others or collect information easier and faster than ever.

I think of us as journalists; the medium we work in is blogging.

The Internet is the first technology since the printing press which could lower the cost of a great education and, in doing so, make that cost-benefit analysis much easier for most students. It could allow American schools to service twice as many students as they do now, and in ways that are both effective and cost-effective.
