As information technology becomes millions of times more powerful, any particular use of it becomes correspondingly cheaper.

I'd much rather see a world where, when you make some quirky comment on a blog or news story or you upload a video clip, instead of just a moment of fame for your pseudonym, you'll get 50 bucks.

Humans change themselves through technology.
