We live in media, as fish live in water.

The four walls of paper are like a prison because every idea wants to spring out in all directions - everything is connected with everything else, sometimes more than others.

If computers are the wave of the future, displays are the surfboards.

They were saying computers deal with numbers. This was absolutely nonsense. Computers deal with arbitrary information of any kind.

The World Wide Web is precisely what we were trying to PREVENT. We long ago foresaw the problems of one-way links, links that break (no guaranteed long-term publishing), no way to publish comments, no version management, no rights management.

The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do.

I was very intensely concerned with all kinds of new media.
