I'm an inventor. I became interested in long-term trends because an invention has to make sense in the world in which it is finished, not the world in which it is started.

I'd always loved technology. It's something I always messed around with in computer labs at school. So I glommed onto it very early as way to differentiate myself in business.

I'm more interested in what I discover than what I invent.

I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an attempt maybe to get my father's respect or interest, or maybe it was just a genetic love of technology, but I was always trying to build things.

I have very complex and complicated ideas about technology. It's such a prominent way that we communicate with each other. In ways, I think it's really positive, and in ways, I think it's really negative.

My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.

I guess that's just the life of an inventor: what people do with your ideas takes you totally by surprise.

Dad was very into electronics, robotics and computers, so I was interested in what he was doing.

I don't know much about technology anymore.
