The tablet is not mainstream. Reading off the screen is not mainstream.

One thing people underestimate is how markets don't allow anyone to do anything except make better and better products. There's not much leeway. The world is a lot more competitive than most people think, particularly in a high-technology area. If a company takes its eye off improving its products, if it tries to do anything that would be viewed as an exercise of power, it'll be displaced very rapidly.

The market does not drive the scientists, the communicators, the thinkers, the government to do the right things.

Automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.

Software will get to be somewhat more mature, ah, but it will never be as predictable as most areas of engineering.

My guideline has always been to avoid a focus on me personally. Not because of any deep, dark secrets. Rather just a sense of privacy.

Connectivity enables transparency for better government, education, and health.
