I think any new technology that helps connect and create social cohesion is great. But at the end of the day you and I are analog creatures. We have to take 'oohs and aahs' and convert them to 0s and 1s and then convert them back to 'oohs and aahs.' Narratives that work in social networks are the exchange of stories that are told well.
We're in a time now where technology is such that we can create anything and that's what's new about television and film these days.
I have run large organizations I know what it takes to create a healthy business climate and I have more experience than Jerry Brown doing that. So it'll be a stark contrast a career politician vs. someone who has met a payroll gotten a return on investment knows how to use technology to do more with less.
Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has figured out a way to ensure that as of tomorrow technology won't create problems. Technology simply means increased power which is why we have the global problems we face today.
I'm a futurist. Technology is our way out of almost every problem we have. Technology can create a new sense of community.
I am fascinated by all the new technology that creates places for us to meet in what is called cyberspace. I understand what it must have meant for the rebellions in the 19th century especially in 1830 and 1848 when the mass circulated newspaper became so important for the spreading of information.
Technology will definitely solve all our problems but in the process it will create brand new ones. But that's O.K. because the most you can expect from life is to get to solve better and better problems.
We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.
What new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want done.
Encouragement from my high school teacher Patty Hart said 'you need to focus and theater might be your route out of here.' I created the program went to college and graduate school and now here I am.
