The message I'm trying to send is that technology is political, and that many decisions that look like decisions about technology actually are not at all about technology - they are about politics, and they need to be scrutinized as closely as we would scrutinize decisions about politics.

I don't believe that government is good at picking technology, particularly technology that is changing. By the time you get it done and go through democracy, it's so outdated.

Nobody wants to be against technology, but I think that regulators should not - and people should not - assume that faster is always better in markets. We need to question technology to insure that markets continue to perform their fundamental purposes.

We are living, we have long been told, in the Information Age. Yet now we are faced with the sickening suspicion that technology has run ahead of us.

Congress should... at least keep pace with technological advances.

Government is supposed to be about how we do things together, and we can do that much more together if we use technology smartly right now.

If you think the technology is infeasible, you don't worry about what it might do and what its potential is.

Yet now we are faced with the sickening suspicion that technology has run ahead of us.

Nobody wants to be against technology, but I think that regulators should not - and people should not - assume that faster is always better in markets.

Technology is moving quickly. Policy is not moving as quickly.
