I think that there are changes that have occurred in technology that make is that more people can have the same level of information that I have. My advantage is that I'm very good at interpreting the information.

NAFTA recognizes the reality of today's economy - globalization and technology. Our future is not in competing at the low-level wage job it is in creating high-wage new technology jobs based on our skills and our productivity.

The goal for many amputees is no longer to reach a 'natural' level of ability but to exceed it using whatever cutting-edge technology is available. As this new generation sees it our tools are evolving faster than the human body so why obey the limits of mere nature?

Over the last few years the world has become a smaller and more integrated place with technology that is leveling the playing field like never before.

You know I believe that technology is the great leveler. Technology permits anybody to play. And in some ways I think technology - it's not only a great tool for democratization but it's a great tool for eliminating prejudice and advancing meritocracies.

It's impossible to move to live to operate at any level without leaving traces bits seemingly meaningless fragments of personal information.

I've been a teacher at the college level in composition mostly and I've been an editor on magazines.

There is a shortage of teachers but the January 2001 schools census showed that teacher numbers were at their highest level than at any time since 1984 - and 11 000 higher than 1997.

Every man who rises above the common level has received two educations: the first from his teachers the second more personal and important from himself.

I didn't go to university. Didn't even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.
