I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Communications and left formal education behind.

Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world.

Through all aspects of society be it art design the financial markets government technology or communications we are witnessing unprecedented global transformation - the result of which is impossible to predict.

The Internet is not just one thing it's a collection of things - of numerous communications networks that all speak the same digital language.

The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.

The church acknowledges some Scientologists choose to sever communications with family members who leave. The church says it is a fundamental human right to cease communication with someone. It adds disconnection is used against expelled members and those who attack the church.

In communications familiarity breeds apathy.

The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue.

In day-to-day commerce television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.

In almost every profession - whether it's law or journalism finance or medicine or academia or running a small business - people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust we are all worse off for it.
