In my column series 'The Main Thing ' I often talk about how Internet technology can improve the way people communicate - both within a business and between a business and its customers and partners.

Well another market is being created now out of Internet technology.

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.

I spend so much time on the screen when I am writing the last thing you want to do is spend more time on the Internet looking at a screen. That's what I hate about all this technology.

Instead of the international police action we had hoped for during the war in Kosovo there are wars again - conducted with state-of-the-art technology but still in the old style.

I don't want technology to take me so far that I don't have to use my brain anymore. It's like GPS taking over and losing your internal compass. It's always got to be tactile still organic.

Aereo is the first potentially transformative technology that has the chance to give people access to broadcast television delivered over the Internet to any device large or small they desire. No wires no new boxes or remotes portable everywhere there's an Internet connection in the world - truly a revolutionary product.

There was a study done in the early 20th century of all the entrepreneurs who entered the automobile industry around the same time as Henry Ford there were something like 500 automotive companies that got funded had the internal combustion engine had the technology and had the vision. Sixty percent of them folded within a couple of years.

The Internet will win because it is relentless. Like a cannibal it even turns on it own. Though early portals like Prodigy and AOL once benefited from their first-mover status competitors surpassed them as technology and consumer preferences changed.

The Internet is so big so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.
