I kept my age quiet for a good few years. I didn't see it as a positive. I worked remotely, so I just didn't tell people.

We're living at a time when attention is the new currency.

Those who insert themselves into as many channels as possible look set to capture the most value. They'll be the richest, the most successful, the most connected, capable and influential among us. We're all publishers now, and the more we publish, the more valuable connections we'll make.

The more people you know from different backgrounds, the more tolerant you feel of different ways of living, and the closer you feel to the issues that those people have.

Now, two things happen. One is, people know people, whether that's on Facebook or Twitter. They feel closer to the event. Secondly, people see other people doing something about it.

I don't have a TV or watch movies. I don't like to be broadcast to, I want to participate.

We are really competing against ourselves, we have no control over how other people perform.
