The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington D.C. which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.
It's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money. I can tell you though: If they don't really want to build a company they won't luck into it. That's because it's so hard that if you don't have a passion you'll give up.
Some of the best times I've spent in Colorado have been in the backcountry with my mom and siblings and more recently with my own kids. That is why I'm concerned to see today's kids spending more time browsing the Internet than exploring nature.
I don't spend a lot of time online. My mother's really good at picking out if she sees a really great review and she'll forward it to me. She's like my little Internet filter. It's always nice to see something going up if I want to find something on Nathan Fillion I do know where to look but I've got a nice little delivery system in my mom.
In a wristwatch imagine the battery is in the strap and there's a medical sensor in there connected to the internet. If someone is monitoring that they could phone up if the user has forgotten to take some medication. This could save hundreds of dollars in medical fees later. What's missing? It's a stable battery.
A free and open Internet should not have to be weighed down by legal challenges - its dynamism is essential to our economy.
You go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. I'm a normal person. Just because I'm in the spotlight doesn't mean I'm God's gift to the world. I'm learning and making mistakes just like every other 17-year-old girl out there.
Hollywood and the recording industry argue that current law permits the copying of songs and movies and sharing them on the Internet. This enables young people to grow up learning how to steal.
We need to be a leadership position about protecting minors on the Internet and more importantly giving the parents the tools they need to protect them.
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.'
To break boundaries interests me. With all the knowledge that is available now in the world it should be accessible to everyone. You can get so much information on the Internet now and yet there are so many places in the world where people just don't have the education.
I agree completely with my son James when he says 'Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything while the former lights up knowledge'.
Have you heard of this new thing called the internet? It's giving people new expectations. It's allowing them to become their own expert. Knowledge lies anxious at their fingertips. Gloss over the truth in your advertising and you'll quickly be dismissed as a poser.
The hope of Internet anarchists was that repressive governments would have only two options: accept the Internet with its limitless possibilities of spreading information or restrict Internet access to the ruling elite and turn your back on the 21st century as North Korea has done.
I hope that Facebook and other Internet technologies were able to help people just like we hope that we help them communicate and organize and do whatever they want to every single day but I don't pretend that if Facebook didn't exist that this wouldn't even be possible. Of course it would have.
I think the advent of the Internet gave us all a big boost because by the time the Internet became mainstream and you could get it in your home a lot of us were used to dealing in fan culture writing to magazines or anything at the back of comic books.
My wife and I had decided not to let anybody take pictures of our home because it was just the last place on earth we had that was unscathed. But people have climbed over the fence they've taken aerial shots. They've gotten my address and put it on the Internet.
The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.
Rogue internet pharmacies continue to pose a serious threat to the health and safety of Americans. Simply put a few unethical physicians and pharmacists have become drug suppliers to a nation.
Health care costs blunt the competitive edge of American entrepreneurs from the auto industry to internet start-ups.
When bureaucrats talk about increasing our 'access' to x y or z what they're really talking about is increasing exponentially their control over our lives. As it is with the government health care takeover so it is with the newly approved government plan to 'increase' Internet 'access.'
The internet is a great way to get on the net.
The government invented the Internet.
The most important ways in which I think the Internet will affect the big issue is that it will make it more difficult for government to collect taxes.
I decided I ought to pick a project that would not be controversial that would not really cost the government a lot of money.
