I get most of my news updates from electronic and social media.

All literature is political.

We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy, so engaging for kids.

We can't afford to sacrifice another generation of American children to bureaucratic politics. We've got to get it done. The future, the health, the life - our nation depends on it and it's just foolish to think or act otherwise.

I have always been a fan of 'Star Trek.' I love Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future.

As long as we are engaged in storytelling that moves the culture forward, it doesn't matter what format it is.

The unvarnished truth is that we have spent the last decade funding the machinery of war, and our children have been sacrificed.

I genuinely believe we have an opportunity to revolutionize how we educate our children.

And it's here and it's ready and we can really revolutionize the way we educate our children with tablet computers, and I'm committed to doing whatever I can to speaking to whomever I can to send this signal - to pound this message home. Now is the time.

If we marry educational technology with quality, enriching content, that's a circle of win.

I've always been interested in gadgets and technology and I've always been a reader.

It's definitely true that there are a lot of the devices we used on 'Star Trek,' that came out the imagination of the writers, and the creators that are actually in the world today.
