I have a grandson who is 20. He's a computer guy. I'm worried that he can't communicate without his machine. They have no personal contact with people. That's the bad part of technology.
I knew I wanted to do something at the nexus of what I call global development and technology.
By 2007 we were finally living in a culture where people get what networks are and what technology can do to connect people.
You can have the best technology in the world but if you don't have a community who wants to use it and who are excited about it then it has no purpose.
Take therefore what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally.That in my view gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.
We know that al Qaeda is seeking radioactive materials and technology to launch a devastating attack and that hundreds of radioactive sources have been lost or stolen in the U.S. and around the world.
Scientists at MIT and engineering schools all across America say that they could improve the fuel economy standards for the existing set of vehicles by 10 miles per gallon using existing technology without compromising safety or comfort at all.
I'm in favor of any technology that makes my work available to the reading public at a reasonable price.
Today we're focused on small acquisitions to add technology where necessary. I think it's fair to say we're not out looking for a large one but I think it's also very fair to say that as a public company you can never say never.
Since fantasy isn't about technology the accelleration has no impact at all. But it's changed the lives of fantasy writers and editors. I get to live in England and work for a New York publisher!
