Since I Became Chairman, I've Tried To

Always Make New Mistakes.

And The Russians Certainly Don't Have It. If A Woman Shows Up In A Fur Coat, I Just Assume She's A Crook. And That's Me, The Nice American. The Assumption That You Can't Make Money Honestly Is A Killer.

What's Really Going On Here Is, This Is A Media Shift. It's Comparable To What Happened In The 1950s And The Birth Of Electronic Mass Media Back Then.this Is The Birth Of A New Kind Of Personal Media, Where, Instead Of We're All Watching One Program, We're All Watching Each Other. And The History Of Media Makes It Really Clear. Whenever We Have A Big Innovation, The First Wave Of Stuff We Do Is Pretty Crummy. The Printing Press Gave Us Pornography, Cheap Thrillers, And How-to Books. Television Gave Us Newt Minow's Vast Wasteland.

I Became A Real Free Market Fanatic. I'm Probably Less So Now Than Even Two Or Three Years Ago.

People Have To Understand That They Can Reject Technology. They Can Turn Off Their Cell Phone. They Can Stop Looking At Their E-mail. It's There If They Want It. It's Not Being Forced On Them.
