I have a personal life and a professional life, and there's no way to separate them; for a while I tried, but no one could find me.

Especially if you don't have a job that's providing fulfillment in your technical expertise, there is a lot of reward to working on a very smart and demanding community that will respect you and will give you leadership and authority based on what you do.

We will not build a society that reflects who we are and that has opportunities for equality or justice if we don't make progress for all participants.

Tech, in the sense of... putting things together, that goes back beyond memory for me.

The early cyberpunk idea was that networked computers would let us do our work at home, as freelancers, and then transact directly with peers over networks. Digital technology would create tremendous slack, allow us to apply its asynchronous, decentralized qualities to our own work and lives.

Technology, and applications of this technology, will continue to improve and evolve, providing unprecedented, global access to information, individuals, training, and opportunities.

Technology requires knowledge and expertise more than it requires money.

I dislike the phrase 'social media.' 'Social media' is merely a way to describe new tools in an old and narrow paradigm where we measure success by how many people are reached.
