People need to understand that the technology is for them. It's not to them. It's not over them. People still sometimes want to be led a little too much.

Part of the problem is when we bring in a new technology we expect it to be perfect in a way that we don't expect the world that we're familiar with to be perfect.

Change means that what was before wasn't perfect. People want things to be better.

We invented our computers in the '80s. We networked them together in the '90s. Now we're giving them eyes, ears and sensory organs. And we're asking them to observe and manipulate the world on our behalf.
