I agree completely with my son James when he says 'Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything, while the former lights up knowledge'.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Look at electricity in human history - it took a few decades for electricity to really revolutionize the American economy. And the Internet will be the same. At some point in the future, we will arrive at a new era of low-hanging fruit.
The Internet has changed everything. We expect to know everything instantly. If you don't understand digital communication, you're at a disadvantage.
With the new medium of knowledge - the Internet - knowledge not only takes on properties of that medium but also lives at the level of the network.
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.
In one sense, the Internet is like the discovery of the printing press, only it's very different. The printing press gave us access to recorded knowledge. The Internet gives us access, not just to knowledge, but to the intelligence contained in people's crania, access to the intelligence of people on a global basis.
One of the wonderful things about Internet is it's like a salon. It brings people together from different intellectual walks of life.
The Internet is not just one thing, it's a collection of things - of numerous communications networks that all speak the same digital language.
The internet is a total inversion of television. It's the opposite.
That was clearly surprising, interesting - a very interesting milestone was when you can pick up a magazine and read an article about some sort of computer related thing and they mention the word internet without explaining it.
