The internet creates more of an appetite for media - it doesn't replace physical books, radio or TV.

Television saved the movies. The Internet is going to save the news business.

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.

Radio killed variety and TV killed radio, and the internet will kill television and it will go on and on.

The world is beset by many problems, but in my opinion, this hijacking of our brain's reward centers by electronic media is potentially one of the most destructive.

The implications of so many people connected to the Internet all the time from the standpoint of education is incredible.

The world is changing, and the Internet is about to become the next broadcast network.

The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom.

I think that the balance needs to be restored, and I would note that in the camp in which I am in, one finds libraries, universities, the Internet industry, the manufacturers of digital media, and consumers.

New media's not very old, hence the word new, so we don't know a lot of things about new media and by the time you've taught it it's probably out of date. I think it's much more beneficial to have an experiential lesson versus a classroom lesson in new media.
