I don't think many people anticipated how the Internet was going to revolutionize the way we disseminate information.

The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.

Think? Why think! We have computers to do that for us.

I think all of society should be a think-tank where you throw ideas about. I had hoped the Internet would help. Actually, what it has done is make everybody go schtum. They're attacked for saying anything. So they say nothing.

There are thoughts we must not think.

We don't normally think of it as such, but writing is a technology.

There is an enormous market demand for information. It just has to be fulfilled in a way that fits with the technology of our times.

I used to think... that people would think badly of me for various stuff they read. But now I accept it's just part of the deluge of stuff that comes every day.

Not only have computers changed the way we think, they've also discovered what makes humans think - or think we're thinking. At least enough to predict and even influence it.

I think that the Information Age is great, but there's a downside to it obviously as well, and it's that false information can be perpetuated so quickly. And it's sad that so many people will believe it.
