Around '93, '94, the conventional wisdom about the Internet was that it was a toy for academics and researchers. So it was very, very underestimated for about two years.

The Internet shapes my life and work so completely that I couldn't imagine living without it.

I've been fascinated by the Internet from the very start. In 2001, I had made a funny black-and-white film called 'How to Dance Properly,' a short video of me dancing to a Madonna song. I sent it to 17 of my friends on a Thursday, and by Monday, one million people a day were logging on to view it.

When I was born, the Internet was barely two years old. It was the preserve of academics, used to connect dozens rather than billions of users. There weren't many who predicted it would transform our world.

When I hear people express extreme optimism about the Internet, I say, we've had it in mature form for about ten years. Macroeconomically speaking, those are about the worst 10 years we've had since about the 1930s. I don't blame the Internet for that - that would be ridiculous.

I love the Internet; I'm on it all the time.

Back in 1995, I saw an incredible wave coming. The Internet. I knew I needed to be a part of it no matter what I did.

In the space of one lifetime, the Internet has opened up opportunities that were previously inconceivable.

The internet to me is kind of like a black hole, and I never really go on it.

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.
