My reaction to a lot of the current situation that we're in is based in part on a serious concern that the present administration's course ignores reality.

My belief is that there will be very large numbers of Internet-enabled devices on the Net - home appliances, office equipment, things in the car and maybe things that you carry around. And since they're all on the Internet and Internet-enabled, they'll be manageable through the network, and so we'll see people using the Net and applications on the Net to manage their entertainment systems, manage their, you know, office activities and maybe even much of their social lives using systems on the Net that are helping them perform that function.

I'm projecting somewhere between 100 million and 200 million computers on the Net by the end of December 2000, and about 300 million users by that same time.

On email and the first instance of spam: This is not for advertising! This is for serious work!

If we do not like what we see in that mirror the problem is not to fix the mirror, we have to fix society.

The remarkable social impact and economic success of the Internet is in many ways directly attributable to the architectural characteristics that were part of its design. The Internet was designed with no gatekeepers over new content or services.

Science fiction does not remain fiction for long. And certainly not on the Internet.
