If you create open technology that people can use, adapt and play with, it builds capability and they teach themselves.

New technologies, however remarkable they might seem, are fundamentally just tools made by people for people.
When I helped to develop the open standards that computers use to communicate with one another across the Net, I hoped for but could not predict how it would blossom and how much human ingenuity it would unleash.
Let students use technologies in the classroom.
Technology has transformed how we live, learn and work, but not everyone has been able to participate in these developments.
The extreme sophistication of modern technology - wonderful though its benefits are - is, ironically, an impediment to engaging young people with basics: with learning how things work.
Technology is a bit of a double-edged sword. Used right, it's a wonderful tool, but unfortunately, it makes it easier for a lot of mediocre people to get really crappy ideas out.
I think every student needs access to technology, and I think technology can be a hugely important vehicle to help level the playing field.
For consumers to benefit from technology, there has to be fair and open competition. Fair and open competition is the only course we know that can lead to meaningful innovation.
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they're transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
Technology is only an enabler, which can help achieve the intention of the person who is using it.
