We must realize that our destiny is strongly linked to the destiny of the poorest on this planet.

Let's face it, the U.S. government is woefully, woefully behind in all of its policies that affect the use of technology.

On some campuses, change is effected through nonviolent or even violent means.

There are 4 billion cell phones in use today. Many of them are in the hands of market vendors, rickshaw drivers, and others who've historically lacked access to education and opportunity. Information networks have become a great leveler, and we should use them together to help lift people out of poverty and give them a freedom from want.

I've seen it in so many talented young women who hold back because they're not sure that what they say will be smart enough. Or maybe they've said something in a prior meeting, and people acted like they hadn't said it, and that was crushing. Then we have all had the experience where 20 minutes later, a man says the same thing and everybody responds positively.... So don't take it personally. Take it seriously so that you understand it, and then try to devise techniques to overcome it.

America already is great, but we are great because we are good, and we will respect one another, and we will work with one another, and we will celebrate our diversity.

I'm not running my campaign for the press. I'm running it for voters. I totally respect the press and what the press has to do.
