Everyone has this perception that the bloggers they say horrible things about you and they hide behind their computers where you can't see them.

At our computer club we talked about it being a revolution. Computers were going to belong to everyone and give us power and free us from the people who owned computers and all that stuff.

Why does everyone think the future is space helmets silver foil and talking like computers like a bad episode of Star Trek?

Computers and the Internet have made it really easy to rant. It's made everyone overly opinionated.

States are looking for low-cost solutions that will enable better communication while avoiding the danger in which the chain of command breaks down in emergencies. We do not want everyone talking to everyone else all the time.

In this great age of communication there a lot of people you can't actually understand. I know everyone tweets and twits and texts and all that but actually we've all got voices and it is awfully nice to hear them and if you can understand what people are saying.

As everyone in Louisiana knows there was often no communication or coordination between the state and federal government in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Communication is everyone's panacea for everything.

I'd be happy to be taken as a woman - and that's what I was initially trying to do when I started throwing on dresses and stuff. But that wasn't going to happen because everyone kept calling me sir. So I thought I'd change the method and just start wearing what I wanted to wear.

Really each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the '50s and for other generations it will be something else. Change is scary for everyone as is complexity contradiction and an uncertain future.
