I believe that the Internet is the information highway. I'm religious about this. I don't think it's cable television.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Cable television and the Internet have created an unending demand for information, and there simply isn't enough truth to go around.
The internet is a total inversion of television. It's the opposite.
The important thing to remember with the Internet is that there are large companies that have an interest in controlling how information flows in it. They're very effective at lobbying Congress, and that pattern has locked down other communication media in the past. And it will happen again unless we do something about it.
Life is so fast these days, and we're exposed to so much information. Television makes us a witness to such misery.
I watched TV religiously when I was a kid, but nowadays - with the Internet - there's so many people writing about TV on the Internet, that everything's sort of under a magnifying glass.
The Information Highway intrigues me because I have always been a newshound; I have always been curious about why people believe what they believe.
I think socializing on the Internet is to socializing what reality TV is to reality.
The Internet is one of the most revolutionary technologies the world has ever known. It has given us an entire universe of information in our pockets.
In 1984 nobody knew what cable was going to be. It was there, but you didn't know where it was going.
It's been my policy to view the Internet not as an 'information highway', but as an electronic asylum filled with babbling loonies.
