Most troublesome is the legalization of ‘crowd funding,’ the ability of start-up companies to raise capital from small investors on the Internet. – Steven Rattner
The Internet is an interesting tool to use to reach people with things that you might call ‘Disney learning,’ – Thomas O. Staggs
Big Internet companies on average are capable of generating revenue of $1 million per employee, and that compares to 10 to 20 percent of that which is normally generated by traditional offline businesses of comparable size. – Yuri Milner
There’s nothing the Internet can tell me about myself that I don’t already know. The rest is foolishness and people killing time. – Wentworth Miller
The Internet of Things tell us that a lot of computer-enabled appliances and devices are going to become part of this system, too: appliances that you use around the house, that you use in your office, that you carry around with yourself or in the car. That’s the Internet of Things that’s coming. – Vint Cerf
While the United States has never decreed that everyone has a ‘right’ to a telephone, we have come close to this with the notion of ‘universal service’ – the idea that telephone service (and electricity, and now broadband Internet) must be available, even in the most remote regions of the country. – Vint Cerf
Teachers say to me, ‘The internet is full of rubbish, wrong answers.’ But you would be surprised how just long it takes to find wrong information on Google, and where it’s not obvious that it’s wrong. – Sugata Mitra
We have people who pay to use our products and services, and they are heavily engaged in our content. If you erase the brand perceptions of AOL, and consider that people pay to use our properties, you would probably consider this one of the most valuable audiences on the Internet. – Tim Armstrong
By giving unusual people an easy way to find one another, the Internet has also enabled them to pool rare talents, resources, and voices, then push their case into public consciousness. The response, in many cases, is a kind of hysteria. – Virginia Postrel
The Internet has definitely opened doors and leveled the playing field for musicians. – Vivian Campbell
There are a few ‘Raw Shark Texts’ tattoos floating around the Internet now, so I’m gathering them up to post on my forum. It’s a strange thought, knowing that readers are tattooing themselves with something I’ve created, but it feels wonderful to have added something that people care about to the world. – Steven Hall
The Internet is brittle and fragile and too easy to take down. It’s a conduit for criminal activity. We need international treaties to prosecute the bad guys, but we don’t have them. – Vint Cerf
Today’s China is not in the least shut out from the rest of the world. Trends come to us from all over the world. And the Internet is really developed in China. We get news from all over the world. – Zhang Ziyi
The Internet is emblematic of an era in which what happens in Southeast Asia or southern Africa – from democratic advances to deforestation to the fight against aids – can affect Americans. As has been observed about water pollution, we all live downstream now. – Shashi Tharoor
We were the first urban school system in the country to wire all of our schools for the Internet. – Thomas Menino
I love the Internet, but I think you have to only use it in the ways that are good for you. I think there’s so much speculation that happens. – Tavi Gevinson
About five, six FBI agents walked into the courthouse and arrested me. They said I was being arrested for distribution of information related to explosives over the Internet. – Sherman Austin
During the dot-com days, one could take just about any company public and reap fortunes. All you had to do was to make sky-high projections for growth, say you were in the Internet space, and go along with unscrupulous investment bankers and their analysts. – Vivek Wadhwa
I’m not up on the Internet, but I hear that is a democratic possibility. People can connect with each other. I think people are ready for something, but there is no leadership to offer it to them. People are ready to say, ‘Yes, we are part of a world.’ – Studs Terkel
It’s great that with the Internet, there has come this sense of creative independence. – Tavi Gevinson
Kids don’t go out and buy CDs, they make their own, they download them from the Internet. – Sebastian Bach
Once you have speech, you don’t have to wait for natural selection! If you want more strength, you build a stealth bomber; if you don’t like bacteria, you invent penicillin; if you want to communicate faster, you invent the Internet. Once speech evolved, all of human life changed. – Tom Wolfe
Basically, the Internet is just the way now. It’s the end-all, be-all of self-promotion. It’s not like you got to burn CDs and pass them out or sell them. The Internet is a tool that reaches billions and billions of people. It’s like a no-brainer to tie it in with self-promotion, or even label promotion. – Wale
I’ve seen, not surprisingly, no action taken against those people, but here I am, an anarchist website, not even close to what that is, not even close to what else you can find on the Internet. – Sherman Austin
I think the large part of the function of the Internet is it is archival. It’s unreliable to the extent that word on the street is unreliable. It’s no more unreliable than that. You can find the truth on the street if you work at it. I don’t think of the Internet or the virtual as being inherently inferior to the so-called real. – William Gibson
E.Biscom is an Internet company that is diversified, not a diversified company that is trying out the Internet. – Silvio Scaglia
So evidently music was a killer app and is a killer app for computer and the Internet; it just took the tech industry a long time to hear that message. – Thomas Dolby
