Draco's not really a bully. He's not exactly the biggest strongest guy in the world. He's more a rich snobby person. He thinks of himself as really cool.

I never cut class. I loved getting A's I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.

I think I was lucky to come of age in a place and time - the American South in the 1960s and '70s - when the machine hadn't completely taken over life. The natural world was still the world and machines - TV telephone cars - were still more or less ancillary and computers were unheard of in everyday life.

I'm looking to evolve the concept of the new renaissance artist taking the world by storm through the art of public display and demonstration with technical savvy using cell phones and computers.

But computers have changed the world for everyone so there will be some way of working it out.

Well we didn't have our original drummer on our last record. And most of that album was not played as a band in the studio. It was mostly the world of computers and overdubs. There was very few things played live or worked out as a band.

I don't care how big and fast computers are they're not as big and fast as the world.

If the machines can take the drudgery out of it and just leave us with the joy of drawing then that's the best of both worlds - and I'll use those computers!

We could say we want the Web to reflect a vision of the world where everything is done democratically. To do that we get computers to talk with each other in such a way as to promote that ideal.

I'm not afraid of computers taking over the world.

Globalization as defined by rich people like us is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet you are talking about cell phones you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.

Even in the developing parts of the world kids take to computers like fish to water.

We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds and computers make that world even more believable.

Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We'll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today.

We're entering a new world in which data may be more important than software.

Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded Apple Inc which set the computing world on its ear with the Macintosh in 1984.

In the practical world of computing it is rather uncommon that a program once it performs correctly and satisfactorily remains unchanged forever.

Personally I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.

Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in they still know good music when they hear it.

The speed of communication the speed of information transfer the cheapness of communication the ease of moving things around the world are a difference in kind as well as degree.

The fact that we are I don't know how many millions of people yet communication complete communication is completely impossible between two of those people is to me one of the biggest tragic themes in the world.

You know Quincy Jones was a great mentor but he was a man in a man's world. Fortunately he's a very sensitive man and a beautiful human being and even though he was 14 or 15 years older than me he's a capable human being and has great communication skills.

The nations of the West hope that by means of steam communication all the world will become as one family.

Yet in spite of this world-wide system of linkages there is at this very moment a general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere on an unparalleled scale.
