My Food Network shows 'Emeril Live' and 'Essence of Emeril ' are not in production right now but I wouldn't say that I'm necessarily leaving Food Network. I have a lot of television still in me. I enjoy teaching people so it's just a matter of time before I do something new.
You want to put out a TV show? If you have the money to do it on your own by yourself and you have a TV network you can do it by yourself. But the nature of the beast is art needs finance. That's how this industry works. So until the Internet becomes our source of entertainment - and watch it I believe it will - this is how things go.
The fear for a network is the viewer gets tired of you. Not that you lost any credibility but they get tired of you.
Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.
And so I think that if the person has the funds the network and the equipment to do this and also the experience which is the key factor then they can be quite deadly.
Just as we accumulate memories of facts by integrating them into a network we accumulate life experiences by integrating them into a web of other chronological memories. The denser the web the denser the experience of time.
Games have grown and developed from this limited in-the-box experience to something that's everywhere now. Interactive content is all around us networked ready. This is something I've been hoping for throughout my career.
There are 4 billion cell phones in use today. Many of them are in the hands of market vendors rickshaw drivers and others who've historically lacked access to education and opportunity. Information networks have become a great leveler and we should use them together to help lift people out of poverty and give them a freedom from want.
We know the threats - from global terrorist networks to the spread of deadly weapons. Yet we also know that embedded in this time of danger is the promise of a new day if we have the courage and commitment to work together.
I don't think a show's ever changed networks in the middle of the season before but it was cool because they gave us those extra couple years of life that was necessary to get us to syndication.
They went back there looked at all the computers asked me to come in and tell them what all the computers were for specifically so they knew how to dismantle the network I had been running.
The Internet is not just one thing it's a collection of things - of numerous communications networks that all speak the same digital language.
But despite the universality of URLs we often forget that they're not just a handy way to address network resources. They're also valuable communication tools.
During the past few decades modern technology with radio TV air travel and satellites has woven a network of communication which puts each part of the world in to almost instant contact with all the other parts.
The Internet creates as well as destroys. Social networks search advertising and cloud computing are multibillion dollar industries that didn't exist 10 years ago. They are products of the same force that has rendered the Postal Service's core business obsolete.
We are at a crossroads in the music business: with the rise of the internet the world we live in has changed and the past is not coming back. But I see the glass as half-full: the internet and social networking are new avenues for the next Bob Dylan to be born on.
In today's social business marketplace Facebook is one of the best places for nonprofits to be discovered and connect with a larger audience on the basis of shared values. So to get started a non-profit should launch a Facebook page and invite your existing real world community to connect your cause and their networks.
When you're young you look at television and think there's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want.
Inside every working anarchy there's an Old Boy Network.
All I watch is the Food Network. I took a cheesemaking class a few weeks ago and I told my family and friends to only get me kitchen stuff on my birthday. I'm into every kind of cookbook and anything by Anthony Bourdain. I'd love to own a restaurant if I could find the right chef.
I have the most amazing support network around me.
One of the amazing things about the Internet is that the content creators are the gatekeepers. We can think of an idea and execute it quickly and we didn't have to pitch the idea to a major network or convince a studio head to sign-off on the concept.
The network is opening up some amazing possibilities for us to reinvent content reinvent collaboration.
I think for business reasons fiscal reasons I think these cable networks can take greater risks and I think with a risk comes better programming. And I think USA has got an amazing identity to it now that is clearly defined with its 'Characters welcome' tag.
