To me, this is not an information age. It's an age of networked intelligence, it's an age of vast promise.

All one needs is a computer, a network connection, and a bright spark of initiative and creativity to join the economy.

The social world is transforming the way we create wealth, work, learn, play, raise our children, and probably the way we think.

Peering succeeds because it leverages self-organization—a style of production that works more effectively than hierarchical management for certain tasks.

Those who grew up digital have different brains.

In one sense, the Internet is like the discovery of the printing press, only it's very different. The printing press gave us access to recorded knowledge. The Internet gives us access, not just to knowledge, but to the intelligence contained in people's crania, access to the intelligence of people on a global basis.

In an age where everything and everyone is linked through networks of glass and air, no one - no business, organization, government agency, country - is an island. We need to do right by all our stakeholders, and that's how you create value for shareholders. And one thing is for sure - no organization can succeed in a world that is failing.
