I believe that if I wasn't born in this technological and 'social media' era, I would have found another way to express myself.

Once social media was introduced, it enabled a new way for people, particularly the younger generation, to connect with one another, based on common interests, goals and even values.

I was part of the generation that pushed the Internet. In fact, I broke as an artist in the U.S.A. because of the Internet.

Social media are a catalyst for the advancement of everyone's rights. It's where we're reminded that we're all human and all equal. It's where people can find and fight for a cause, global or local, popular or specialized, even when there are hundreds of miles between them.

It's a huge mistake not to embrace social media. We need to stay in touch and stay relevant to young people.

I'm a pretty early adopter of social media. There's a whole subculture to it. I'm smart enough not to tweet things out of emotion.

I grew up in a physical world, and I speak English. The next generation is growing up in a digital world, and they speak social.

Like all technology, social media is neutral but is best put to work in the service of building a better world.

Social media is social. We're looking to touch one heart at a time. With one great story at a time.

Social media is an information channel; it's like radio or TV... In Cisco, we made a lot of money on public protocol. I think the social media model replicates that protocol.
