The Internet Is An Incredible Business Tool.

We Had Made A - Sort Of A National Decision That We Wanted To Be This Intellectual Property Country, Where We Would Have Things Manufactured In China, But We Would Do The Design, We Would Do The Creative Stuff.and Now What We Have Done Is, We Have Forgotten That That's What We Wanted, And We're Making The Intellectual Stuff More And More Free. And, So, We're Sort Of Left With Less And Less.

I Had A Lot Of Successes, But What Really Made Me Fearless Was My Complete Failure At Zidd-davis. Once You've Lived Through That, You Know You Can Survive, And You're Not As Scared... There's Nothing To Build Confidence Like Real Achievement, But Also Like Real Failure.

The Internet Is An Incredible Business Tool. First Of All, The Internet/the Cell Phone - The Cell Phone Is Just Another Way To Get At It - I Think Is Having A Huge Impact In Africa Most Particularly, Where It Enables People - Suddenly, They Know Crop Prices. They Can Communicate. It Makes Their Lives More Efficient.

I Joined The Board Of The Santa Fe Institute.

The Great Thing Is, Internet Allows You To Create Your Own Job, Not Just Look For Jobs Other People Are Going To Give You. And That, Combined With The American Spirit, I Think, Is Going To Help Us Come Out Of The Recession Faster Than Other Countries. And I Think It's Going To Help Africa Come Out Of, You Know, A Century Of Slump.
