Let Me Explain The Targeted Harassment

Before I begin the blog, there are a lot of thoughts in here that will be my opinion and my theories mixed with some of the established facts that has been documented. I already know the people targeting me, will dissect this blog and will even make comments about how no one cares about this, and it is probably true. This is what happens when you isolate people due to lack of trust in this world, and even if I explain the value I had in this life, it is dismissed and I am labeled someone who is a fucking delusional narcissist who is very mentally ill, and all of that is fine to say when it becomes to belittling me and not valuing me anything because you need to beat my self esteem even more, it looks like Tom Cruise from Vanilla Sky. Sorry I have not watched much movies or television show due to this periscope addiction I have been on this past summer, maybe I should update it and say my self esteem resembles the women in the Manson family after Cliff from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood beats the living piss out of them.

So since I have not written in my personal journal in a while, due to hackers moving my cursor and I wanted to test how my mind would cope with having to deal with the thoughts and organizing them in my head, because I am constantly thinking and I am barely scraping by with this mental illness, especially when you have people constantly streaming my stuff and making it seem like I will be kidnapped, or they know when my therapy appointments are or when I am meeting my caseworker. I have to worry about constantly letting my guard down, because anyone who interacts with a former character- oh sorry I mean regular meaningless caller (even though the Stern Show contacted me in 2008 to be an intern, or Artie Lange and Jon Hein hinting in 2009 that I was a contributor nonchalantly, or the fact when I would pitch guests, Shuli would tell me to tell anyone I try to contact that I am a producer) but yes I was not valued as much, so people online who were initially chat room and forum trolls, who were given the platform, which I believe since the world is a lot more organized, it feels like people were given incentive to vote for Trump, and in return they are given free range to act like assholes online who bully and harass people and never get called out, even though it has been evident that government agents have been watching these youtube streams.

So let’s start from the beginning and I have covered this most of 2018 of a youtube streamer show that was making my life hell and I was sure as hell sure this dude was a Howard Stern agent and given permission to fuck with whack packers. Howard, to me at least, has always showed disdain for people who use characters from his show, so whenever there are people who are creating projects with using the whack packers, it feels cosigned and co-opted. So there was this youtuber who surfaced, who didn’t seem to catch much traction on the surface, but he somehow was the creator of a very prominent Stern Show Facebook group, which I never really knew about, but he did these videos on his green screen playing old Howard Stern clips and just analyze it in the most mediocre way possible, I never thought much about him, but toward the end of 2017 he approached me on twitter to be on his show, and let him do an interview.

I was hesitant because I am not a dark web guy, so I don’t know who these people are associated with and I will never know, but I figured one interview would not be that bad, even though it was on a podcasting network named after a Stern regular caller who was kind of responsible for bothering a Whack Packer named Eric the Actor, who has now passed on, so I had reservations about this dude, but apparently he had issues with this network so he did his own thing. I did my interview with this youtuber named Jimmernam and we had good chemistry, but there were things I did not like about this show from the jump, which included him trying too hard to be like Howard Stern. I have gone through this before but never mentioned this guy’s name. He would organize callers to call in and fuck with me and this cam girl named Goddess and act like he did not know these people, even though later on after I left it, those callers become permanent fixtures of the show.

We had a blow up because I knew this show was not good for me, even though momentarily I was having fun, and because I did not play along with his agenda, he would act like he did not need me, and say he would get viewers on his own because no one cares whatsoever, but still kind of guilt me into coming back every couple of weeks but with the way he would bully other youtubers and dox people, it was not a show for me. We did have a blow up where I lost my mind, I was on a low dosage of my medication and they were piling on, and I questioned how he was a father because he just seems to harass cam girls all the fucking time, especially since that cam girl in particular said he was kind of creepy or some shit, he thought I made fun of his kids and he snapped and he threatened to get me to kill myself, I retorted with “Your kids are gonna want to do that if they realize what kind of father you are” so we both threw shit at each other. Also because I got into arguments with a Trump supporter, who goes by the nickname Kitty on the show, I would lose it on her and she used to produce a 24-7 feed of High Pitch Erik, so I already know she is ingrained in the system, even though she will deny it. I could be wrong, but when the blow up happened and I lost it and said she probably fucked High Pitch Erik, she accused me of sexually harassing her. My larger point was the system would not allow people in that world if they did not have to do something. It got dropped, but later after all of this happened, she did admit in a private message when she was sorry. I asked her who put her up to doing that sexual harassment thing and she said she did not remember.

I went back a few times because they figured enough time passed but I maintained I would maybe just come back permanently but I said I would come by when I felt like it but it was probably best for me to just do my own thing because I just feel if I get pulled into so much drama, it will not be good for my mental health, even though trolls will constantly come to me and bring drama with insinuating they are watching me, my parents don’t love me, or that they are profiting off me, and saying the worst shit possible to elicit a reaction, a very irrational reaction and because when my manic breakdowns happen, I have no qualms at the moment with saying some of the most vile shit ever because my fucked up brain has been trained by the shit I used to consume, whether it was comedy, radio, wrestling or hip hop, or just western media and I then feel bad about it immediately because I know they were looking for it but I am so in tune with what they want but I basically over feed them so they end up being sick at the end of this for wanting to be fed in the first place.

One of the other factors of why I liked the show initially was because Wendy from Howard Stern was somehow a regular there, and Jimmernam clearly had some control over her or something because Howard allowed her to just be used like this, and second he would insist she not do any other show on a different podcast network, even if they are getting paid over there. He had a feud going on and by proxy there were elements of people getting doxxed by both parties, or how Jimmernam would call his enemy’s mother and telling her on voicemail that the wrong son died etc and also constantly showcase his trolling with others, and when I applied what he was doing to others with what was happening to me, he would then attack me more, but claim he had just cause because I am making some wild accusations, and he would play my streams and have my picture on the banner, and he knows I have no power so I couldn’t do shit about this. I don’t have a gang of trolls working for me to just go around and report stuff, like he has done and make it seem like others were the bullies.

So the final blowup where he just didn’t give a shit, and it seemed like the people on top gave him incentive to have me on his show and make it feel like me on my own was nothing special, so my views dwindled, which are always controlled, even if I got massive amounts or very low count, so it was meant for me to go back over there but I did not want anything to do with it because they could not even admit what they were doing. He did not like I did not call in to wish him a happy birthday, and also he has been in Wendy’s ear about mentioning me on the show, since I had been banned 2 years prior, and she also mentioned Jimmernam multiple times, to which Howard did not even react to, and that is what got to him, and it felt like it was not reacted to because it would prove me right that he was a Howard Stern agent. Then he finally snapped and it felt like he had to implode, whether it happened organically or he and his people organized it because more and more people left his show because of the doxing of cam girls, which endangers them, constantly having alcoholic meltdowns and berating contributors because people were donating to them, or wanting to just expand to other shit and it felt like maybe it was a planned hiatus, where everyone would reconvene after a couple of months, it just seemed out of nowhere.

So by the end of 2018 summer he would have meltdowns on his own and apologize but then go back to harassing people and isolating himself from everyone and basically made enemies, of people who were his friends prior. He would still talk shit to other youtubers and dedicate his remaining drunk streams to doxing people, and going to war with his competition etc, while playing lady gaga and a cover of “Bye-Bye-Bye” from an N Sync cover band. He even had a new woman by the name Kitty, not to be confused with the prior Kitty and play video of me cussing out the first Kitty and make it seem it was against her. By October-December of last year he was just doing streams here and there, kind of like he was at the end of his “I don’t give a fuck” phase. One of the main reasons his discord channel got shut down was because he started doing basketball videos, and basically copy of people who write articles etc and he happened to recruit some kid to be in his discord, and he gave him mod status and also was sharing porn in there. I was never in that discord, I don’t go on it often unless I have to talk to someone so I make a temporary account, but at that time I did not go in there other than one time after someone approached me privately to tell me that Wendy from Stern, who is a slow adult, was flashing her tits and wrote “You happy now?” and I never saw the photo, although Jimmer and Kitty were passing it around in their text messages when Jimmer leaked out the texts in the latter versions of the live streams.

He disappeared after all of that, after he did one last Christmas stream where he was doxing a government agent, who was stalking the cam girls and apparently was a creep. He had pictures of him being at some events etc and that is why I start to think how many other government types watch these streams that are just not really a blimp on the radar in the culture, but he was telling this guy with text to speech about him raping his daughters and that he is going to fuck his wife etc and then after that no one heard from him.

Speed up a couple of months later, he apparently had already started a new channel in November 2018 but people did not pick up on it until February where he was rebranding himself as Misery Box on youtube who read reddit stories of Entitled Parents etc and he was making bank and getting a lot views, like millions of views so there was a brand new audience of kids that were being made aware of this new loveable youtuber. It kind made me relieved that maybe if he finds success in this, he would stop bothering me, even though his trolls would show up to fuck with me, because if he was making these reddit videos in November, while no one knew who he was, and he was still doing drunk streams, I could sense he would still be using trolls against me. And I know he blames me for the implosion of his show, and would still continually harass me, I can’t prove that for sure but it I just watch his patterns, because he would show up as Jimmernam on his enemy’s streams and cuss them out etc.

In April, there was a Misery Box exposed video, and apparently even in this new community Jimmernam could not resist going back to his old tactics, because he has to be number one in everything he does, so he seemed to start trouble by telling people in this youtube community that another youtuber was trying to bully smaller content creators, so there was a conversation that was recorded, where some of them were not buying it and he just snapped on some 17 year old kid and after telling him he was good at what he does, then tells him he is lazy in his editing after the kid was asking genuine questions about originality in the youtube space. So this woman Iilluminaughtii created this video, and instantly his subscribers were dropping and it was not the same for him. He tried changing his channel name several times so people would not catch on and he was quiet about any of the allegations of the video that was made, which compiled some clips of him as Jimmernam etc. He would eventually come back with some live streams to explain himself and then point out who is responsible, so he would show his enemies etc, and this is all in front of a kid audience, and I think he had to buy new subscribers because his views barely make it to 2500 within a week.

Now Wendy, who people have always said she was a scammer, and I always thought she was told to manipulate with her condition to get money from people, whether she was actually struggling or basically making money for this Jimmer guy or whoever latched onto her but I felt protective because a bunch of Stern trolls would just call her name and mock her condition relentlessly. Last December she was in a car accident and has been in the hospital since, and it seemed weird because she was first at the hospital, then a rehab center, but now it is a nursing home, claiming she could not leave the home until she paid her bill of 20K. It made no sense but I would let her plug it while I was doing lives, and she did not even mention Jimmernam, but suddenly in the last month she joined periscope, and became beloved there, but I had to watch out for trolls there too and she seemed really distressed that Jimmer was no longer around and she wanted to hear from him, and the thing is I feel Jimmer did not really care about her and just needed her, and it seemed when all this Misery Box got fucked up, he needed her again. I think he put her up to this, and has always kind of been in contact with her on some level, because he did just show up.

I did not express the full vitriol I had for him and Kitty because of the fucked up shit I felt they did, but they both seemed to change, and it does not feel like a coincidence they both showed up around the same time frame of Wendy needing them again. Jimmer seemed peaceful and wanted to give me props for contributing to his show and how it was a huge fucking deal for him to have me, and this is documented in Wendy’s scope and I admitted I had fun on his show for a bit but it was becoming too much for my mental health to deal with, especially since it was giving me flashbacks to how Stern went about shit. I said I needed to see if he changed for real, and needed a couple of months. He did not seem pleased, and I had a feeling this was all for me to have this feeling of nostalgia with him coming back after the show had been disbanded for a year, but I still had to keep my guard up. So it continue with Wendy doing her periscope streams, and every day she would have to show me how much she loved Jimmernam and talking about how she is going to marry him because he promised her and she wants to get a tattoo of him on her belly. I just had to calmly tell her these aren’t good ideas, but not get confrontational about Jimmernam; because I know he means a lot to her.

He was doing his streams and started a new format, and clearly had a new kid audience, and he was doing adult orientated stuff, even though he has been questioned why he gave a kid porn in his old discord, now he seems to be grooming new batch of kids and making him seem like the victim, because the people who he has fucked with are going after him for being a banned guy on youtube who somehow found a loophole to get back on, and he is interviewing trans women, and asking sexual questions in front of an audience of kids who are 12-15 years of age, maybe some of 17. He wanted to play audio of one of his enemies having sex with his woman but was advised not to, he played old interview with one of his contributors about his gay experience, and listen I don’t have a problem with trans women giving their stories, or someone else’s gay experience, but is this kind of shit appropriate for a 41 year old on the internet to be giving these kids that? I criticized it and we got into it but in a calmer way, because he was trying to maintain that he is a good guy who is not going to snap because I am not giving in. I even questioned about these pedo allegations, because it bothers me that since I am not into the dark web or in these group chats, I don’t know these people’s past because I assumed if they were dangerous or corrupt, the people would have got him tagged, but since he is being allowed to do streams and get a fan base, I figured that those pedo allegations were real or not. I don’t see the proof, other than him having a weird fascination of wanting to have a kid audience and giving a kid porn in a discord, which was shut down.

I think he became impatient and starting using Wendy a lot more because he knows that I care for Wendy so fucking much and I have tried to defend her from trolls and I really don’t make money off her or my streams, so I am purely doing it because I am a fan of her and she has entertained me for so many years on the show, so I just felt because Howard does not watch out for her or even help her out, seemingly, but I did not mind it because I was also meeting others who were fans on her and showing her love, but she kept going into other discords of Jimmer’s enemies and cuss them out, and it was like how is she figuring this out to go to a specific discord, and it became such a problem that she was screaming obscenities in the nursing home to this guy named Saiyanz, that the nurses had to come in and tell her to put the phone down because she was waking up her roommate, and you could hear her crying and flipping out. It was clearly getting her in trouble, and even Jimmer showed concern for this and said she should listen to me because Hanzi cares for her. She would go into another person’s discord named Ross Dawg RDA, and some of these youtubers I am not really down with because it comes across like right wing adjacent where they need to say inappropriate things to be edgy, even guys I get a long with, I try to show others on periscope why the devil wins when we use these bad words because I used to fall for that propaganda, because they have managed to make PC shit seem corporate so you think acting inappropriate with language, although not having evil intent, is some kind of edgy shit.

Now I get suspicious why Wendy is going to Jimmer’s competition and just starting trouble, even though they are very rude to her and hide it under the guise of “treating her like everyone else” and it felt like it was done on purpose because seeing them treat her that way would make me want to team back up with Jimmer and go at these assholes bothering her. I still suspected they were in her ear, and she donated 650 dollars in total throughout the week one time, and Jimmer claimed he did not see it because he claims she had him blocked and he could not see the donations, and I got upset by this because now it seemed like she was raising money to give to him for his comeback. I told her that if she truly needs money for rehab, people will not donate to her. Maybe the ones who were in on it did donate knowingly that Jimmer was taking it, but a lot of people said they did not feel comfortable doing that. I think that angered him the most, but she did donate to Jimmer’s competition saying that she was being forced to, and then Jimmernam comes out of nowhere with Kitty, who people were shocked she went back to Jimmer after he had doxxed her information last November or so. And he would do stream where he is making it seem like this Saiyanz guy took her money and telling the kid audience to report him etc. Also when Wendy was going to do some story time segment, she said she was going to write one about me, which meant to me, that they were going to make her say some crazy shit and even though it would normally not bother me, I was wondering if they were going to have her say some wild shit under the guise of “She is a slow adult we can’t control what she says” so I made a temporary discord account to see if anyone was feeding her shit, but I did see Ross Dawg in the discord spamming Jimmernam’s discord, and one message in particular he wrote “Send me more naked pictures Wendy” and I figured maybe he was joking around, but I later asked Wendy on her periscope, and it is still up, if she sends nudes to people, and if people ask her. She claimed Ross Dawg asked her for pictures of her boobs. I was livid, because Wendy has told me prior years that people have her on facebook have sent her dick pictures, and I always told her to give me the names, and she obliges but never tells me who they are. So I confronted Ross Dawg about this on twitter with the screen grab, and he seemed upset but just kind of mocked it and said that he has phone sex with her on his stream and she loves it, and listen she seems down for that type of humor so if she chooses to I can’t stop her, but it feels like she has been trained to think that is what she has to play a long with to be accepted, even though this Ross Dawg guy claims he never listened to Stern ever.

So I went off on this because Wendy seemed upset about it and she claimed they were bothering her and calling her incessantly from what she was making it seem like, but she would keep going to these people’s discords, so I wondered why and she claimed she blocks them but they hack her phone and unblock themselves, and I am like “This is fucking crazy, how can they do this” and then I figured out that this was probably a ploy by Jimmernam to get me upset, whether it was to start a feud with a new streamer such as him, or get me to team up with him. Wendy keeps going back, so I finally had enough and decided I had to unfriend her on facebook and unfollow her on periscope because I won’t be listened to and I seriously tried doing the right thing.

So Ross Dawg, butt hurt over the call out started spreading the rumors the trolls have started about me, beating up a gay couple, even though I never had a criminal record, and can’t even fucking fight, or making fake accounts in their youtube streams and naming it after me or making you think it is me, and saying I am going to get a gun or something even though I don’t have a gun, nor can I afford a gun, nor do I have any interest in having any kind of fucking weapon. He has dedicated streams to me about how I blamed him and he did that to Wendy as a joke, and he did not actually get a naked picture from her, and maybe he is telling the truth, but the fact that he is getting offended by that and how I think people like him are allowed to do the shit they do, because they are co-opted by the system, and considering Jimmer had enough power to expose a government agent, I don’t know what power these people truly fucking have.

This Ross Dawg guy has done dedications to shows to me and I tried not to answer and even if he is trolling he is fucking with a mentally ill person, and these people can use it as an excuse when it is convenient and they are going to keep doing this, and because I went on one of his competition’s streams, and by the way I time to time have went on that specific stream, even though sometimes it seems too edge lord for me, but Unbleachd’s intent is not evil, or at least I don’t think it is, but I had not talked to him and I did not know Ross Dawg was streaming anyways so I went on to talk about wrestling and this drama that occurred because he was not caught up on it, and that angered Jimmernam, who somehow was on the stream, and now he is so mad he got Wendy to start calling me names, saying I never helped her, donated money, and that I am a pussy. It hurt to hear someone I genuinely cared for and not fetishise having a contact from the Stern Show etc, and I can’t retort because she is obviously mentally disabled and I am going to cuss her out? It is just sad these guys have turned her on me, and it felt like it confirms that her being friends with me was the resort they needed because she was the only left who would soften me up and convince me Jimmer has changed, which he did not, and all those compliments and hyping me up went out the window. He showed his true colors, and what hurts most is people who were part of his show hang out with this Ross Dawg guy and they stand idly by, some of them were really cool and have been telling me not to worry, but others have just partook in it, and now are ready to do streams about me losing my mind, because people hacked my phone and I think it was them, or maybe others in my life, and because I am a fucking human being I lose my mind, I don’t have 20 people in a discord to laugh at my fucking shitty jokes, while I think that it is something special, and now they keep fucking with more and more, and I am trying to explain that I did not have ill will toward Ross Dawg because I was going off by what Wendy was telling me, and clearly she keeps going back there.

Now these people are going to keep harassing me and they know I am mentally ill and they have no qualms with pushing me to suicide, even though I will never do it. I leave when they decide to kill me, and I reached out to media outlets for this kind of harassment because these people need to be looked into, and with the arrogance they have and how they can harass me, it seems they do have power and are given permission. Stern does not like me, and I have been calling him out for these leaks and how much alleged harassment he has put on me, and he could be cosigning it. Maybe it is my friends or people close to me because they got what they needed from my fame, just like every social circle of the whack pack, since Stern makes systemic deals with these people, and I can prove it, but these people never have my back. They know I have nothing to do, I say nothing, they get away with fucking with my life and mentality, I say something, it is more me flipping out and having manic meltdowns, where I am close to losing my fucking head, and this all seems as a ploy for me to call in and if this guy needed me to call in to talk I would have called in to talk to him but since he went this route and keeps pushing me more and more to the brink of insanity and no one cares. Maybe people are investigating without telling me and they are building a case, but it feels like nothing will be exposed or no one will care until I am dead or in a fucking loony bin and when the semi woke people with blue checkmarks can then pretend to care like they don’t make deals with the devil and give a limited narrative of social consciousness. That’s why you know cancel culture is bullshit, and organized because Howard Stern would be on the chopping block, but nope, he has able to rebrand himself as some liberal, even though he is still very much a neoliberal centrist who still wants Israel to obliterate the entire middle east, and no one has the balls to call him out.

There are also clips I have pinned on twitter where Howard in 97, in jest, says that these celebrities need to fight off people investigating them by hiring private investigators to follow them around and have no hesitation in ruining these people’s lives and it felt like that is why nothing super serious has ever been reported about him and even back in 2012 he admitted, and I am sure people will say it is a joke, but he did say that when people bother him on twitter and they get annoying, he has a team of people to find out who that person is and start to ruin their lives, but you won’t hear that in any marathons shows they play on Howard 101.

I know this blog will not go anywhere and no one will care because let’s be real these people saying no one cares about me are right, and even the ones who are on my side can’t do anything but these guys need to be stopped. They are pushing me to lose my fucking mine and this Jimmer guy seems nervous because he is on the verge of losing his channel because some guy named WTF guy has been working on exposing him and now Jimmer has gotten his groomed kids to go report his videos and harassing him on twitter and has spun it into him being the victim and no one cares because seemingly it is not a blimp on the radar, but these people like Ross Dawg was mocking me and saying he is going to dox me and my family etc, and they have a moderator named after me, and have fake accounts show up and then use it as an excuse to shit on me by saying that fake account is me. The way they have manipulated Wendy is disgusting and this will not stop. Again no one will fucking care and I am on my own, and maybe it is best for them to push me to the edge because even then you assholes can pretend to care after and profit off my fucking story. They know I have no back up, so they will continue to fucking harass the living shit out of me. This will never end.

By the way I am hoping Ross Dawg knows that Jimmer probably set this up or maybe he is on it, but since they were enemies and now he is welcoming Jimmer on maybe Ross Dawg is doing it for him to put his foot in his mouth and I don’t know if Wendy was lying about the nudes, and it was just a joke, but I will be fair to him a little and say he did defend Wendy from having her money stole from someone else, but he had a chance to talk to me on someone else’s stream and he just went in there to make fun of me and saying another live stream dedicated to me will come up. I felt I needed to write this so I wouldn’t lose my fucking mind but they will push me to it

Hey - Pat from StarterStory.com here with another interview.Today's interview is with Belinda Kelly and Venise Cunningham of Simple Goodness Sisters, a brand that makes farm fresh cocktail ingredientsSome stats:Product: Farm Fresh Cocktail IngredientsRevenue/mo: $2,000Started: September 2018Location: ENUMCLAWFounders: 2Employees: 0Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?Hi! We are the Simple Goodness Sisters, real-life sisters Belinda Kelly (4 years younger, the bartender) and Venise Cunningham (the older sister and the farmer.) We are a lifestyle beverage brand focused on bringing the world a Happier Hour, from garden to glass.The products we make are “farm to bar” mixers and accessories for drink making and entertaining, made with edible flowers and herbs we grow on our sustainable cocktail farm. The products are completely natural, without additives or chemicals for the best taste and product possible. Our mission is to help people celebrate their lives and build community around a round of drinks. We believe everyone should get an invite to Happier Hour, so we market our drink syrups for cocktails and alcohol free cocktails alike, and have customers buying them for dessert, breakfast, and ice cream toppings as well.The first product we launched were our simple syrups. The syrups launched in three flavors in Fall 2018 (Rhubarb Vanilla Bean, Marionberry Mint, and Huckleberry Spruce Tip), followed by 3 additional flavors in Spring 2019 (Lemon Herb, Berry Sage, and Blueberry Lavender), and edible flower salts and sugars for rimming in Fall 2019. During that time we pushed our ability to grow, harvest, and package in a major way, growing at a rate of 4 times our original production, with quite a learning experience along the way. We both come from a technical background in corporate Seattle, so organic farming, food production, and entrepreneurship are all areas we’re learning by doing, and Google!imageWhat's your backstory and how did you come up with the idea?In 2015 Belinda left a job at Microsoft University Recruiting that required a lot of travel and wouldn’t work for her other new job title of “mom.” She took a work from home position on the same team at a much lower pay level (yes, that sucked) and decided to explore her interest in entrepreneurship. With 4 hours daily saved by not commuting, she had the time to work on an idea she’d had for a mobile bar business.Having been responsible for hundreds of events over her 6 years at Microsoft, she saw a gap in the catering world of Seattle and thought a mobile bar company that raised the bar on drink quality, presentation, and service would be well received by tech companies and the greater events industry. While never a bartender, she had enough experience in the service industry and enough hutzpah to begin studying cocktails voraciously and apply for a business license. She decided to up the ante (and the effort!) further with a farm to bar, craft beverage program supported by her sister Venise’s farm and others in the rural community of Enumclaw, WA, their HQ.At that time, Simple Goodness Farm was a garlic and goats (mostly) hobby farm for Venise and her growing family (the sisters had their first babies within two weeks of one another.) Venise worked in HR at the real estate startup Redfin and commuted downtown daily while also managing the herd and fields in her free time.imageSimple Goodness Sisters was just the title of a family-focused blog they wrote together to chronicle their days of mothering, gardening, canning food, and early adventures in farming. Belinda convinced Venise to give her some rows in the garden for herbs and edible flowers and started renovating a 1957 travel trailer in January 2016. The mobile bar launched in May and at the very first event, which was open to the public and at which her team served over 1,000 guests, the response for one particular drink stood out. The Genevieve, a gin, lemon, and rhubarb vanilla bean cocktail was the clear favorite, and clients couldn’t stop asking about the Rhubarb Vanilla Bean syrup in it.In the intervening two years between the first event in May 2016 and the launch of Simple Goodness Sisters in Fall 2018, clients asked constantly how to recreate the fresh, delicious drinks from the bar’s menu at home. The mixers and garnishes were all farm-fresh and mostly sourced from Venise’s farm. Belinda had created unique flavor combinations that made drink recipes sing and showcased the best flavors of the Pacific Northwest, but when she explained that the magic was in the small batch, homemade mixers made with ingredients freshly picked from Venise’s farm, people’s eyes widened, and then glazed over, and it became very clear they would not be making the effort to DIY.imageThe Genevieve, made with Rhubarb Vanilla bean syrup. Photo by Kerry Jeanne PhotoVenise, who’d transitioned from Redfin to a multi-titled hustling career of real estate and agricultural non-profit work, prompted her that one day they needed to bottle the mixers and meet the growing demand. At the same time, Belinda had begun to take more and more space in the garden with her ingredients until the Simple Goodness Farm was transformed completely into the first and only cocktail farm in the United States (as far as we know). The production far outpaced the demand from catering events and to waste anything she’d worked tirelessly to grow was demoralizing for Farmer Venise. The decision to produce the syrups on a bigger scale and bottle them for shelf stability to meet client demand was an easy one, while the path to learn how to do so took longer.imageTake us through the process of designing, prototyping, and manufacturing your first product.Creating a shelf-stable food product legally and safely, and with the fresh ingredients and ethos, they saw for their new company was no small task. Belinda was bogged down with her first business, which had grown rapidly by the summer of 2017, and babies at home. Venise had a new baby on the way, two other jobs and a farm to manage. We were determined to see it through and started asking questions, while dedicating $2,000 each from our personal savings to making our first product.By studying the website of the FDA (which regulates food safety for retail products) and the WSDA (the Washington State Department of Agriculture, which regulate’s farm’s wholesale value-added products) it was determined that the product would need to be produced in an approved facility, meet recipe demands for safety, and be tested by an approved testing facility.Much research was done regarding how to make a syrup shelf-stable. Google got a good work out and many calls were placed to learn that to avoid using additives that would affect the flavor, the recipe needed to be able to rely on the acidity of the ingredients themselves to meet the required PH for an acidified food. Venise sourced endlessly for a food co-packer willing to take on a small initial run of the product. Many local facilities would not package anything under a 100-gallon minimum batch size, with big price tags to match the big yields. Next the recipes needed to be tested and approved, a process that took months.In the meantime, packaging was sourced. The vision for a recyclable, high-quality packaging that could stand proudly among the fancy liquor bottles on shelves was a tall, pricey order in the small, initial run quantities sought. A logo and label design were done by our cousin Sage, after more research on what a label must legally include. Liquor bottles of high quality, made in the USA glass and caps and shrink wrap tops were bought.With each new thing crossed off the to-do list, we became a little more confident, and then three more new challenges would pop up. The initial three syrup flavors were intended to be made in counts of 500 bottles each, but onsite at the processing facility we realized some major recipe calculation errors had been made, and our actual yields were adjusted accordingly. We were just happy to have a trailer full of product to take home and unload and try to sell.imageimageThe original syrup packaging and the founders at a live radio recording for Seattle Kitchen, hosted by star chefs Tom Douglas and Thierry Rautureau.Describe the process of launching the business.We’d drummed up as much excitement as we could for our first launch on our blog’s social media (having since spent hours upon hours transitioning its focus) and sought out every partnership, free press opportunity, and mentoring we could get. We emailed every newspaper, blog, podcast, radio show, magazine, and friend of our grandma to tell them about what we’d made. We launched the syrups officially at Proof, a distilling festival in Seattle in August 2018 where we rented a booth and sold syrups to the audience, while also hosting a talk on “How to Drink Garden to Glass” and networking with industry members.We launched our online retail store, which we’d built ourselves through Big Commerce, in September. We took photos on our iPhones with white cardboard backgrounds and wrote our own descriptions. By then we’d each built our own websites from Square and WordPress and using Big Commerce was easier with the WordPress platform. We still use the same website today, though we’ve added to the product line considerably!We pushed sales via the website and social media exclusively at first, and by the holidays, 2018, begun to get interest from wholesalers to carry the line. We sold mixed boxes of bottles to a few local coffee shops and distilleries, but sales online were promising enough for us to begin planning for our next rounds of bottling. By February, we’d sold out of one flavor and the others were soon to go as well. Up to this point we’d paid for no advertising outside of our Proof launch table, not even a boosted post on Facebook.imageA photo with our Proof launch team: our husbands, our friends/bartenders, and us (top middle)We decided to use the money we’d made from the first syrups to finance more rounds, and set an arbitrary goal to grow production by 3 times. Since our product was somewhat seasonal we needed to pounce on production, spring was coming soon. We also wanted to explore making our product easier to produce year-round, since it was reliant on very seasonal ingredients. We decided to make more of each of the three initial flavors, as well as launch three new ones that would have a greater focus on the cold-hardy herbs sourced from our own farm. This would give us greater cost margins but also allow us to produce syrups nearly year-round, if we sourced local frozen berries. The last thing we wanted was to make a product that required us to guess how many bottles we’d need 9 months in advance and when we were buying only fresh fruit in season, that was the case. The flavor and quality of some flavors went down when using frozen fruits, but in others quality was consistent and those flavors were the ones we rolled out.imageThe mostly dormant herb farm in late Fall looks a lot different than in the full bloom of mid-Summer. Photo by Rylea Foehl photographyimageOur packaging changed at this time as well, as we attempted to reduce costs for a workable profit margin. Our ingredient cost for our syrup, since we use whole fruits and spices and herbs, which is basically unheard of, is high and that can’t change significantly, so packaging and production costs needed to. We got the advice from industry peers that packaging should be under $1, which meant we needed to reduce our costs by almost half. The packaging would need to be bought in large quantities this time around, and we moved from a super pretty, tactile linen label that we’d love to a far more practical, wipeable coated paper.Our production also needed to move to a more local company with lower costs. Finding this company and establishing a relationship with them was key, but teaching them our process and recipe was not without challenges. We make our syrup completely counter to the way it is commonly done in the food and beverage industry, which is usually with powders or concentrates, high fructose syrup, and citric acid. We stayed on-site for each of the following production days to lower staff costs but also to dial it in together. Our recipe is tedious and messy, and our relationship and patience with one another as we each learn the best way to make it has been key.Since launch, what has worked to attract and retain customers?Today our challenge is to move forward with our online retail with as much vigor as we can, while also learning as we go the wholesale food business. We have the lofty goal of outsmarting the traditional food system to bring greater profits. Marketing will be extremely key to our success. Before we talk about marketing strategy though, we’ll need to explain why we decided to market directly to the consumer in the first place.From the start, we’ve taken a unique view of distribution because we learned quickly how little the farmer + producer would keep off the profits in the traditional food system. A farmer makes next to nothing on sales of raw ingredients once land costs, water, labor, and materials are considered. A value-added product is one way a farmer can make a greater profit margin off of their land, by turning their raw product into something else exciting and useful, in our case, cocktails!Traditionally a farmer sells ingredients at a wholesale price to a produce distributor. Then a food business buys the ingredients from the produce distributor and pays a co-packer to make the product. The food business then pays a distributor to distribute the product, then gives away even more profit margin to the final wholesaler. The farmer makes next to nothing in this system and the business owner also makes very little, only about the same chunk of money that the distributor and wholesaler make, once costs are accounted for. In addition, the business owner might pay higher costs by paying a food broker to help gain traction/accounts with distributors for a greater distribution footprint, ie, more stores in more places. We would like to succeed in using as few middlemen as possible, and we’ll use technology to do this.To work as hard as we do to get such a small piece of the pie sounds really unappealing to us (indeed I am sure it does to everyone) and would necessitate having big-time investment money and huge, fast growth to draw any profits from the business. A small-time food business just does not make dollars and cents. A huge volume of sales and extensive distribution is the only way to profit... at least traditionally. Our aim is to use social media to share our story because we know our story sets us apart in our market and leads to sales. Then we aim to convert that “listener” to an engaged consumer. Direct to consumer sales via social media has been hugely successful in almost every category, though less often with food.Our strategy is to maintain the majority of sales through our own website by using SEO, Facebook and Instagram ads, and a robust, lifestyle-focused social media strategy. We recognize that we do not only sell a food product, we sell the hope that so many share to get back to the land, grow their own food, and connect with one another.We’re focused this season on paying for Google ads, Facebook and Instagram ads, and Instagram boosted posts to drive these online direct sales. We’ve begun to invest in website SEO with a marketing firm, Intellitonic, who will improve the backend of our site for better web rankings. Our site is well established, having been a blog for so many years previously, but when we converted it to our sales site we never did the full clean up of old posts and unrelated data that is still ranking us for keywords like “signs your goat is in labor” so that’s a big priority this year. We’ll be investing in a website “remodel” rather than a “rebranding.”For Google and social media ads we have designed a few different ads, each slightly different than the next, with slightly different targets than one another, to see which keywords and which audiences perform best, for future ads. We’ve also been filming short videos that are focused on how you might enjoy our products “in the wild:’ outdoors around a fire pit, at a garden party, etc.Paying for ads will be a considerable expense, but our bet is that over a year, this expense will still be far less than what we would have lost in margin. Maintaining authenticity throughout this shift is also extremely important to us because we know that while we could buy followers, you cannot buy engaged followers. We have a very high level of engagement with our social media followers and they truly buy into what we choose to share with them from our lives. We want to continue this relationship online while we grow. For this reason, we continue to send out a monthly newsletter, give hosting and recipe tips on our blog and on social, and share stories of the drinks we make after a fun day on the farm with the kids.Wholesale is an entirely separate ballgame for us, and one we’re focusing on less for all of the reasons described above. We need to be distributed enough to help grow our brand (essentially we look at the wholesale market as a way to make sales while also “paying” for customer acquisition through our loss of margin, because the store helps us market,) but not so widely distributed that all of our time and attention is focused on trying to convince distributors to bring us on and cranking out huge volumes of product for very small profits.Working with a handful of well-matched distributors for these accounts is an aim of ours because driving boxes all over kingdom come is not something we can do. We have believed from the start that if we just focus on telling our story and making a unique, quality product that businesses who share our ethos and customer base will come to us. And that has proven to be true, we are currently taking new accounts (we recently launched locally in New Seasons Markets and PCC, our first grocery chains) and are in talks with a couple of distributors.Finally, PR is one of the most important parts of the business right now, because until people hear our story, our product is not fully understood. The fact that our syrups are naturally made with whole fruits and no additives is special, but the most unique part of our product is that the ingredients are mostly sourced directly from our farm, or other small family farms in our area. We can trace each ingredient except sugar back to a farmhouse, a family, a field, and that is huge for us and for our customers.imageimageWe were featured this past year on a FarmHer episode on national TV on the RFDTV channel, on our local evening news, and in the pantry section of Sunset magazinebecause of our commitment to tirelessly pursuing PR. We’ve also been on podcasts like Drink & Farm, The Forgotton Art, Mom Wants More, and the radio show Seattle Kitchen. We’ll continue to share this story in every avenue possible, including “How to Grow Cocktails” classes and workshops, “ask the expert” media opportunities, etc.How are you doing today and what does the future look like?We are technically profitable already, but to us that is a sign that we haven’t grown quickly enough. We’re able to sell syrups and use the profits to continue to make more, pay for advertising, etc, but our overhead costs are currently low to the point of unrealistic, and we draw no pay from the business for our labor or time.We know customer acquisition cost as we push forward our Direct To Consumer online strategy will be high, and that much attention to our media presence will be needed to retain those customers and lead to more sales. Ad costs and return on ad spend are not numbers we have yet, but that we will be tracking closely.In about one year we’ve reduced our cost of goods by 250%, increasing our gross margin, quadrupled our production, increased our social media followers by 140%, and project our profit to increase by about (because of the combination of 4 x higher sales and 2.5 x less cost) about 6 times.We have plans to expand into our own production space for some of our smaller, easier to self package products and to allow us to do smaller specialty runs of limited additional seasonal flavors, which will draw back customers to our site by keeping the inventory fresh. We will continue to co-pack larger production runs of our flagship flavors. We’ve certified our kitchen and will be investing in equipment and labor for this project.One thing we’d like to work through is to eradicate our food waste footprint, and our own kitchen will allow us to do so by repurposing the syrup “leftovers” which are, essentially, jam, shrub, cider or beer flavorings, and bitters. We can reduce costs and waste simultaneously while launching new products. We love the idea of “killing two birds with one stone” and creating two products out of one harvest. Because we grow much of our own ingredients, eliminating our food waste isn’t just about the food that gets thrown away, but also the blood, sweat and tears that went into producing the ingredients.We aim to expand wholesale to gain traction in the market and new customers, but overall after 3 years our goal is for only 30% of our business to be wholesale, with the other 70% of sales being direct to consumer.Building our email list and continuing to establish ourselves in the media as expert entertainers and female farmers of the world’s first cocktails farm will be key to our retail success.Through starting the business, have you learned anything particularly helpful or advantageous?One of the biggest things we’ve learned is to pursue opportunities that come your way before you feel like you have the tools or knowledge to do so. We tend to jump in, research, and get started, without letting fear or a lack of confidence in an area derail us. We’re pursuing this business at the right time when a focus on natural foods, farm to table eating, and craft cocktails are all at a high and we can’t afford to let our doubts slow us down. We haven’t been technically qualified to start either of these businesses, but we have, with success. We also live by the credo done is better than perfect. You don’t need to launch with a perfect version- there’s always room for revision. Launch with version 1, and know that you will have the chance to iterate and put out a V3 someday.Starting a business with a co-founder has challenges but having done a first business alone, I’d pick a partnership anyday. The potential for tension, and the need to have clear, thoughtful communication are challenges but the benefit of having another voice, opinion, skillset, and 24 hours in the day far outweighs those challenges. As sisters, we have the benefit of knowing one another better than almost any other person on earth, and we’ve practiced communicating for 30 years. This is mostly helpful, because we can cut through the usual politeness and get down to the root of the matter, and we have a foundation of love for one another that allows us to rebound very quickly from disputes but to keep everyone focused and happy sometimes we have to remind ourselves to add some of that formality and politeness back in!Ultimately our product is about forging community and connection through drinks and we’ve run our business that way as well, seeking partnerships and community wherever possible. It’s possible to see these efforts as derailments or money suckers or distractions. However, when we’ve given away our time, knowledge and product it has nearly always come back to us in a meaningful and profitable way, helping to bolster our young business.What platform/tools do you use for your business?We use Square to process payments at onsite events and for wholesale invoices. It was easy and inexpensive to start and we like the easy to use readers we can connect to our phones so we have stuck with it.Big Commerce for our online retail. We chose it because it offered the most affordable basic plan and it’s easy to navigate. Our website is through WordPress. This is what we used to start our blog way back when and we haven’t yet strayed, though it is not the easiest platform to get to know for a beginner, it allows for a lot of customization and potential for you to add your own code, lots of widgets, etc.We use Gmail for our communications and Google drive, sheets, etc for working on projects with great mutual access and visibility.MailChimp for our monthly newsletter (still on the free version but that probably needs to change!) and to manage shipments we use ShipStation. And we text constantly!What have been the most influential books, podcasts, or other resources?I am addicted to the Cherry Bombe, a women in food podcast, and we recently attended the Seattle Jubilee for an in-person conference of inspiration, teaching, and networking.I also listen to podcasts like StartUp (chronicles a start-up in year one), Second Life (all about women who pursue entrepreneurial dreams as a second pivot in their careers), Farmher (to learn from other women in agriculture), and Rooted in the Valley (about farming in America) for inspiration.We also spend a lot of time reading on the Washington State Liquor Control Board website, WSDA and FDA websites! Getting comfortable with technical reading has been critical.Advice for other entrepreneurs who want to get started or are just starting out?Don’t wait to start, don’t be afraid to ask questions, be kind to yourself in the process, and know before you start whether the lifestyle required for your business is feasible for yourself and your family. Be realistic because if you have a family at home, entrepreneurship becomes something every member is involved in and must continue to believe in. Think about what sets you apart and tell that story.Are you looking to hire for certain positions right now?We’re looking to hire two interns currently: one person remotely or local, for focus on PR and social media reach out and other research work that takes up a lot of our time but is so valuable. The second would be seasonal for help with farming. They’d learn and work alongside us in the greenhouse, the field, and the market events we do to learn about how to grow, harvest, and sell product. To have driven, technically proficient, and enthusiastic individuals to join our team would be a HUGE help! The positions would be unpaid to start with potential for longer-term paid work, and we’re hugely excited about investing in these individuals as well, to really inspire the next generation of founders and entrepreneurs and agriculture/food warriors!Where can we go to learn [email protected] you have any questions or comments, drop a comment below!Liked this text interview?

Internet Quotes

• A lot of people can be afraid of the masking because people can misrepresent themselves [in the Internet] and they can pose as people they’re not. Well, yeah; that’s true. That’s one side of it.

Also, alternative newspapers, which exist all over the country. Also, cable TV programs, which are not dependent on commercial advertising. Also, the internet, which can reach millions of people by-passing the conventional media. – Howard Zinn • Because the Internets there, I have access to a lot of the legends, like Fela Kuti. I used to watch a lot of Fela Kuti videos, just to see how he performed. He inspired me a lot, actually, because he was a man of many words, many good words. – King Krule • Before there was an Internet, before there was an AOL, the circulation of newspapers was going down. – Donald E.

Everything in moderation. This applies particularly to the Internet and your sofa. The physical world is ultimately the source of all inspiration. Which is to say, if all else fails: take a bike ride.- Aaron Koblin • By placing intelligence at the edges rather than control in the middle of the network, the Internet has created a platform for innovation. – Vinton Cerf

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Chinese national Internet policy is very simple: Block and clone. – Michael Anti • Cloud computing offers individuals access to data and applications from nearly any point of access to the Internet, offers businesses a whole new way to cut costs for technical infrastructure, and offers big computer companies a potentially giant market for hardware and services. – Jamais Cascio • Crackdowns on Internet content make clear the need for an anonymized Web. Now, someone just needs to implement it. – Jamais Cascio • Cryptography is the essential building block of independence for organisations on the internet, just like armies are the essential building blocks of states, because otherwise one state just takes over another. – Julian Assange • Cutting through the acronyms and argot that littered the hearing testimony, the Internet may fairly be regarded as a never-ending worldwide conversation.

I think there are some people who are on the internet and can fall in love and seem to be in a certain psychological state and other people who are – who couldn’t quite do that. – Keanu Reeves • Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. – Mitchell Kapor • Government investment unlocks a huge amount of private sector activity, but the basic research that we put into IT work that led to the Internet and lots of great companies and jobs, the basic work we put into the health care sector, where it’s over $30 billion a year in R&D that led the biotech and pharma jobs. And it creates jobs and it creates new technologies that will be productized. But the government has to prime the pump here. The basic ideas, as in those other industries, start with government investment. – Bill Gates • Guys should not be allowed to use the Internet all day long. So sad.- Natasha Leggero • Human beings are attracted to novelty: to probe the adjacent possible. We didnt stay in the caves. We didnt stay on the planet, and soon we wont stay within the limitations of our biology. We move forward. We transcend our limits. We go to the moon, and we create the Internet. – Jason Silva • I agree completely with my son James when he says ‘Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything, while the former lights up knowledge’. – Kerry Packer • I always had faith in the internet.

I’m very busy as a producer and a writer, especially with my Internet stuff, and I tend to only accept the roles that I know will have an impact and has a fanbase. – Felicia Day • I don’t sweat the Internet. You know, it’s still something I enjoy as a movie geek myself to get on and, like, look at all the websites; however, when it comes to marketing a movie, the Internet is still not the thing that gets people to the theatre. – Michael De Luca • I don’t worry about anything in the Internet age. I have been online since I was aware of it: 1985 in San Francisco. It has changed everything in my life. I would not want to even be alive in an era that did not have it because it is essential to our evolution as a species. – Augusten Burroughs • I graduated from high school in 1963.

With the Internet, you have so much freedom that ‘gatekeepers’ make me terrified. – Grace Helbig • I have a very low tolerance for boredom and often think I would have missed out on books entirely if Id grown up in the Internet and video game age. Now I enjoy books for people of all ages, including children. – Rick Yancey • I have always had stuff on the internet, way back in the Myspace days, I had a lot of friends on Myspace. And it is just all about like networking – contacting people and showing people, like, your mind. – Kreayshawn • I have an almost religious zeal… not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up. – Dan Millman • I have no internet savvy whatsoever, but I love researching things. The Internet is my library… beyond that, I’m completely intimidated by it. – Drew Barrymore • I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially… They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck. It’s a series of tubes. – Theodore Stevens • I live in a bubble. I don’t read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don’t know what people are saying because, well I guess I’m afraid to. – Ron Perlman • I love the Internet, and I love wasting time on the Internet – even though it sometimes ends up being not being a waste of time. – Claire Cameron • I sometimes wonder how we spent leisure time before satellite television and Internet came along…and then I realise that I have spent more than half of my life in the ‘dark ages’! – Arthur C. Clarke • I think [the virtual choir] speaks well to a benevolent future for the Internet. – Eric Whitacre • I think it’s a bit silly to brand the Internet as the ‘downfall of youth.’- Ernest Cline • I think middle America has changed very, very much. I think people are way more open-minded. I think – I think it’s because the Internet. I think they’re exposed to so much. All the men talked about how much they love their wife, which I don’t hear all the time in art communities.- John Waters • I think that online harassment has become so ubiquitous on the Internet that a lot of women do feel safer, whatever that means, in spaces where they know like people are not going to bother them in that kind of way. – Jessica Valenti • I think that the Internet is our most profound and beautiful achievement. It is magnificent. We have the Internet as a layer of our thinking that doesn’t control us, we control it, yet we don’t have to be aware of it. It will be like a suit that really fits well. – Augusten Burroughs • I think there is a possible future where maybe we do just take a hard turn away from the Internet and we do start valuing our privacy again. – Brian K. Vaughan • I think with every successful consumer Internet business, there will be lawyers that are interested in going after your company, especially when they think that there’s a financial incentive. – Jeremy Stoppelman • I use the Internet for what it’s for: to learn. – Danny Brown • I want to preserve the free and open Internet – the experience that most users and entrepreneurs have come to expect and enjoy today and that has unleashed impressive innovation, job creation, and investment. – Julius Genachowski • I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website – but on the internet, people only look at pictures of kittens. – Banksy • I wanted to reexamine the idea of the album for generations of people who are not my age, who love music or learning about music or are finding this band called R.E.M. or have just previously heard “Losing My Religion” and “Everybody Hurts” as their elevator music. I wanted to present an idea of what an album could be in the age of YouTube and the Internet. – Christopher Bollen • I was inspired by the Hole in the Wall project, where a computer with an internet connection was put in a Delhi slum. When the slum was revisited after a month, the children of that slum had learned how to use the worldwide web. – Sugata Mitra • I wont deny that I have a far more productive writing life without the Internet, mostly because I rekindle my ability to concentrate on one thing for a period of longer than three minutes. My curiosity is channeled inward rather than Internet-ward. – Heidi Julavits • I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she’s too young to have logged on yet. Here’s what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say ‘Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?’ – Mike Godwin • I’d like to know what the Internet is going to look like in 2050. Thinking about it makes me wish I were eight years old. – Vinton Cerf • If I do need to make money suddenly, I prefer to just draw something I want to draw and have someone else sell it for me on the Internet. – Chester Brown • If some unemployed punk in New Jersey, can get a cassette to make love to Elle McPherson for $19.95, this virtual reality stuff is going to make crack look like Sanka. – Dennis Miller • If the Internet can be described as a giant human consciousness, then viral marketing is the illusion of free will. – George Pendle • If the Internet is worth its salt, it has to help arrest the forces that promote inequality, monopoly, hypercommercialism, corruption, depoliticization and stagnation. – Robert Waterman McChesney • If the Internet turns out not to be the future of computing, we’re toast. But if it is, we’re golden. – Larry Ellison • If you and I got on an airplane, you’re going to L.A., Los Angeles, and I’m going to Senegal, we get there about the same time. The world is just that small. So a world that is so tightly bound by science and technology and now Internet and the web page, that world is too small for bullies. It has no room in that world for arrogance. – Jesse Jackson • If you have a kid and you try irony out on them, they don’t get it at 7, 8 years old. You can’t really hide the Internet from kids. It worries me some particularly because I’ve done Disney and Pixar stuff. – Randy Newman • If you hear an expert talking about the Internet and saying it [does] this, or it will do that, you should treat it with the same skepticism that you might treat the comments of an economist about the economy or a weatherman about the weather.- Danny Hillis • If you look at the evolution of games from console to Internet to mobile, and look at social networking from Web to mobile, everything is fragmenting. – Chris DeWolfe • If you offer people a decent service, if you give them you know Internet access, if their phones are not cut off on the trains, you know if you have plugs where they can plug in their computers, and if you have a smiling, cheerful staff; and if you can travel really quickly, then you can make a success out of the rail business. – Richard Branson • I’m a great believer in particularly being alert to changes that change something, anything, by an order of magnitude, and nothing operates with the factors of 10 as profoundly as the Internet. – Andy Grove • Im accustomed to Internet forums where rudeness and incivility are the rule, where too many people seem to take pride in their insults. – Bryan Burrough • I’m lucky enough to have been in the age before the internet and now during the internet. I’m grateful to be a witness to that. It’s horse and buggy versus car. To see how quickly things change has given me a renewed sense of optimism. Does that make sense? – Kathleen Hanna Impact, Roles, Stuff • In a way, the whole music industry is just catering to the inherent esteem issues all these artists have – it lays it all out on the line and baits the artist, like a light baits a mosquito. And you go right into it. With every comment on the internet, you go up, you go down, and it’s a big shitshow full of uneducated people. – Willis Earl Beal • In much the same way, motherhood has become the essential female experience, valued above all others: giving life is where it’s at. Give birth in cities where accommodation is precarious, schools have surrendered the fight and children are subject to the most vicious mental assault through advertising, TV, internet, fizzy drink manufacturers and so on. Without children you will never be fulfilled as a woman, but bringing up kids in decent conditions is almost impossible. – Virginie Despentes • In order for us [people] to progress, we need brilliance and brilliance isn’t fair and it’s not polite and we can’t grow it. It happens. Genius happens and it doesn’t always happen in a zip code where we can access it. Therefore, we kind of need [Internet] not to keep tabs on everybody but we need to give them access to everybody else. – Augusten Burroughs • In production, in the first couple of weeks of production, that it was more like making an internet musical. – Joss Whedon • In the Internet age, with the screaming on the radio, etc., it is hard to know what to believe and who is informed and who is not. – Michael Specter • In this business, by the time you realize you’re in trouble, it’s too late to save yourself. Unless you’re running scared all the time, you’re gone. – Bill Gates Information, Pickles, Turns • Innovation is what America does best. Whether it is the Apollo Project to the moon, developing the most advanced defense technologies available, the rise of the Internet or the latest advancements in biomedical gene therapies, our nation leads the world in transformative innovations. – Martin Heinrich • Internet technology, like anything else that mankind creates is a tool and that tool can be used for good or for evil, like a light saber. Technology is supposed to bring people together, streamline things and make life easier and in a lot of ways it does that. However, technology can also disconnect you from other people and break down the social network, the real social network of family and friends and interpersonal communication, and isolate people, make them feel alone, make them feel small. So it’s a tool that needs to be used correctly. – Rainn Wilson • Internet users, that blue screen of death you were looking at this morning? That’s the sky. If you’re still confused, look it up on Wikipedia tomorrow. – Stephen Colbert • It all stems from the same thing – which is that when we are face to face – and this is what I think is so ironic about Facebook being called Facebook, because we are not face to face on Facebook … when we are face to face, we are inhibited by the presence of the other. We are inhibited from aggression by the presence of another face, another person. We’re aware that we’re with a human being. On the Internet, we are disinhibited from taking into full account that we are in the presence of another human being. – Sherry Turkle • It is possible to think that the Internet will be a net positive for society while admitting that there are significant downsides – after all, it’s not a revolution if nobody loses. – Clay Shirky • It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that the Internet has evolved into a force strong enough to reflect the greatest hopes and fears of those who use it. After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics. – Denise Caruso • Its flattering that there are lots of Internet fan sites about me. Im a bit of a technophobe and I dont even own a laptop, but its probably a good thing Im not logged on, checking up on what everyone is saying about me. – Jonas Armstrong • It’s important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It’s not only life of babies, but it’s life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet. – George W. Bush • It’s like they say in the Internet world — if you’re doing the same thing today you were doing six months ago, you’re doing the wrong thing. Parents can learn a lot from that. – Bruce Feiler • It’s very advantageous to be sensitive with your work – and, yet, being sensitive, in reality, when criticized, it can annihilate you. It can destroy you. And with the internet there sometimes is a lot of harm, which I find must be very difficult for youngsters coming on – it can be very harsh; the criticism. And, sometimes, it can be a little cruel – which makes it hard for young performers coming on. – Michael Crawford • I’ve learned a lot about things because of the Internet. I’m happy with it, but it’s a long road for me. I’m still definitely a little anti. – Patrick Stump • John Kerry is finding out that it is no fun to be the front runner, that’s when you get all the heat. He had to deny internet rumors this week that he had Botox treatments. The Republicans say Kerry should have a clear, unfurrowed brow the old fashioned way by not giving a sh–. – Bill Maher • Just as the Internet drops transaction and collaboration costs in business and government, it also drops the cost of dissent, of rebellion, and even insurrection. – Don Tapscott • Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects. – Stewart Dalzell • Just as we could have rode into the sunset, along came the Internet, and it tripled the significance of the PC. – Andy Grove • Magazines that depend on photography, and design, and long reads, and quality stuff, are going to do just fine despite the Internet and cable news. – Jann Wenner • Most Internet business theorists are really looking at preserving the necks of giant, Fortune 500 companies, rather than promoting the digital, peer-to-peer economy that actually wants to happen. – Douglas Rushkoff • Most kids come home from school. They don’t go to their TVs first. They go to the Internet. They check their emails, or some blogs, or some sites. Then they go watch TV. Other people are at work all day 9-5 in front of a computer. They see certain clips. We’re not going to hide the fact that people use the Internet. We’re going to try to be as interactive as possible with our fans. I’m currently on Twitter and Facebook and Flicker and Dig. I’m on all that stuff. – Jimmy Fallon • My favorite thing about the Internet is that you get to go into the private world of real creeps without having to smell them.- Penn Jillette • My wife and I have purchased two hybrids. We bought a 3 kw photovoltaic unit. We recycle and offset our carbon emissions on the Internet. We turn things off. But we also spend two nice salaries every year, and here’s the dirty little secret – our environmental footprint is HUGE, I’m sure. We’ve all got to do what we can in our individual lives, but we’ve also got to drive the systemic changes that will make the big differences. – James Gustave Speth • Net Neutrality’ is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government. – Ted Cruz • Net neutrality was essential for our economy; it was essential to preserve freedom and openness, both for economic reasons and free speech reasons, and the government had a role in ensuring that Internet freedom was protected.- Julius Genachowski • Newspapers and magazines didn’t want pictures of musicians behaving badly back then. Now, because of the Internet, that’s all the media wants. – Mick Rock • Nowadays we have so many things that take our attention – phones, Internet – and perhaps we need to disconnect from those and focus on the immediate world around us and the people that are actually present. – Nicholas Hoult • Nowadays, anyone who cannot speak English and is incapable of using the Internet is regarded as backward. – Al-Waleed bin Talal • On Chinese Internet, freedom is a targeted and precise window. – Michael Anti • On the Internet you get continuous innovation, so every year the streams are a little better. – Reed Hastings • On the Internet, everyone is writing. There is a great flowering of writing.- James Salter • On the Internet, there are an unlimited number of competitors. Anybody with a Flip camera is your competition. What makes it even worse is that YouTube is willing to subsidize the cost of your bandwidth. So anybody can create and distribute for free basically, but the real cost is marketing. And that’s always the big cost – how do you stand out and what’s the cost of standing out? And there’s no limit to that cost. – Mark Cuban • One of the Internet’s strengths is its ability to help consumers find the right needle in a digital haystack of data. – Jared Sandberg • One of the myths about the Internet of Things is that companies have all the data they need, but their real challenge is making sense of it. In reality, the cost of collecting some kinds of data remains too high, the quality of the data isn’t always good enough, and it remains difficult to integrate multiple data sources. – Chris Murphy • One of the things I like about making stuff in the age of the Internet, is that people make stuff in response to it. You can see people respond to your work visually or musically or with writing.- John Green • One of the things that I realized when I left office was that in the 1990’s citizens across the world applied more power than they had ever had, as compared with the government, because of more people living under democracies than dictatorships for the first time, the power of the internet, which the young Chinese used to basically change China’s policy on the SARS epidemic, and shut it down, and because of the rise in non-governmental organizations like my foundation. – William J. Clinton • One of the wonderful things about Internet is its like a salon. It brings people together from different intellectual walks of life. – Eric Kandel • People are mostly focused on defending the computers on the Internet, and there’s been surprisingly little attention to defending the Internet itself as a communications medium. And I think we probably do need to pay some more attention to that, because it’s actually kind of fragile.- Danny Hillis • People depend on the Open Internet to connect and communicate with each other freely. Voters need it to inform themselves before casting ballots. Without prompt corrective action by the Commission to reclassify broadband, this awful ruling will serve as a sorry memorial to the corporate abrogation of free speech. – Michael Copps • People over the age of thirty were born before the digital revolution really started. We’ve learned to use digital technology-laptops, cameras, personal digital assistants, the Internet-as adults, and it has been something like learning a foreign language. Most of us are okay, and some are even expert. We do e-mails and PowerPoint, surf the Internet, and feel we’re at the cutting edge. But compared to most people under thirty and certainly under twenty, we are fumbling amateurs. People of that age were born after the digital revolution began. They learned to speak digital as a mother tongue. – Ken Robinson • People wouldn’t go on Facebook unless they wanted to share with groups of people. But there is this perception that you have been on a course to push people’s information where it’s visible across the Internet unless they do a bunch of stuff. – Walt Mossberg • Privacy is not an option, and it shouldn’t be the price we accept for just getting on the Internet. – Gary Kovacs • Reddit is not a public utility or a public square; its a privately owned space on the Internet. – John Scalzi • Science fiction does not remain fiction for long. And certainly not on the Internet. – Vinton Cerf • Social media and the Internet haven’t changed our capacity for social interaction any more than the Internet has changed our ability to be in love or our basic propensity to violence, because those are such fundamental human attributes. – Nicholas A. Christakis • Some jerk infected the Internet with an outright lie. It shows how easy it is to do and how credulous people are. – Kurt Vonnegut • Thanks is part to our education system, we tend to think that we’re smarter than the stupid guys in funny wigs who came before us. But that’s because we are mistaking technology, progress, and access to information for intelligence. We think that because we know how to use iPhones (but not build them), browse the Internet (but not understand how it works), and use Google (but not really know anything), our educational system is working just great. By the same token, we think that those dumb aristocrats who used horses to get around and didn’t have electricity were neanderthals. – Glenn Beck • That is, we’re into a whole new world with the Internet, and whenever we sort of cross another plateau in our development, there are those who seek to take advantage of it. So this is a replay of things that have happened throughout our history. – William J. Clinton • The American revolutionaries believed in the power of the word. But they had only word of mouth and the printing press. We have the Internet. – Robert Darnton • The artistic desire reveals itself in dark form – in karaoke bars [or] trolling on the Internet. – Young-Ha Kim • The big change, the really radical change in communication, was in the late 19th century. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph is astronomical. Everything since then has been small increments, including the internet. – Noam Chomsky • The big downside to the global village that the Internet has created is that nothing has time to grow out of the public gaze and, even more dangerous, whatever your personal interests might be, there will always be someone somewhere to provide validation and encouragement. – Derek Ridgers • The boom was healthy too, even with its excesses. Because what this incredible valuation craze did was draw untold sums of billions of dollars into building the Internet infrastructure. The hundreds of billions of dollars that got invested in telecommunications, for example. – Andy Grove • The constant buzz and pressure and noise and static of the Internet, and the way it makes young people feel makes it difficult to grow up and develop the way one might want to. – Ethan Hawke • The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I’d been up all night inventing the Camcorder. – Al Gore • The Internet “browser”… is the piece of software that puts a message on your computer screen informing you that the Internet is currently busy and you should try again later. – Dave Barry • The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. Someone the other day said, “It’s the biggest thing since Gutenberg,” and then someone else said “No, it’s the biggest thing since the invention of writing.”- Rupert Murdoch • The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. – Rupert Murdoch • The Internet has really democratized ideas. There are no real gatekeepers any more, because if you have a great idea, and you put it online, people will find it and it will get in front of who it needs to get in front of. – Justin Halpern • The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, “people without lives.” We don’t care. We have each other. – Dave Barry • The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, “people without lives.” We don’t care. We have each other…. While you are destroying your mind watching the worthless, brain-rotting drivel on TV, we on the Internet are exchanging, freely and openly, the most settings, uninhibited, intimate and, yes, shocking details about our “CONFIG.SYS.” – Dave Barry • The Internet is a telephone system that’s gotten uppity. – Clifford Stoll • The Internet is a very intimate entertainment experience. I’m in my own apartment talking to people, and I want them to feel like they’re with me in my apartment. So if I’m listening to them and taking ideas from them and being honest with how I’m feeling, it resonates even more that we’re having a real, actual conversation. – Grace Helbig • The Internet is all about accessing entertainment. Realistically, 50 to 80 percent of all traffic is people downloading stuff for free. If you can turn that huge market share into something that you can monetize, even if it is just with ads, you will end up making more money than with all other revenue streams combined. – Kim Dotcom • The internet is an amazing medium for languages. – David Crystal • The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow. – Bill Gates • The Internet is disrupting every media industry…people can complain about that, but complaining is not a strategy. And Amazon is not happening to book selling, the future is happening to book selling. – Jeff Bezos • The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom. – Jon Stewart • The Internet is like a gold-rush; the only people making money are those who sell the pans. – Will Hobbs • The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect. – Esther Dyson • The Internet is merely a new means of communication, that’s all it is. It serves the purpose of getting information, which it is fantastic at. I mean, I live by the Internet in terms of research and it’s incredible – there’s nothing that you can’t find out about. It’s not stopped me going to bookshops but I must say that I don’t go into as many because any book I want. – David Bowie • The internet is necessarily public. It can be filtered-public or censored-public, but it necessarily has to be open and available. – John Green • The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn’t understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had. – Eric Schmidt • The Internet is the great equalizer.The technology which emanated from the Silicon Valley of California has more potential to ameliorate social inequality than any development in the history of the world, including the industrial revolution. – Benazir Bhutto • The Internet is the greatest thing that ever happened to the entertainment industry. – Michael Ovitz • The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting. – Dave Barry • The internet makes everything not enough. – Alec Sulkin • The Internet nowadays is all sensationalism, and it’s just terrifying when you’re actually experiencing it as a person.- Bradford Cox • The Internet seems like a safe house for the opposite mentality, for cynics and for jerks and for people who want to lash out. And it’s a valid thing. It’s a valid forum and I’m not going say that they aren’t valid feelings. But it’s sad. Considering the potential that something like the Internet, that connects so many people, has for good. I think it’s sad that it’s used so often for nothing but unfounded, overzealous negativity. – Chris Gethard • The Internet shapes my life and work so completely that I couldn’t imagine living without it. – Nicola Formichetti • The Internet was done so well that most people think of it as a natural resource like the Pacific Ocean, rather than something that was man-made. When was the last time a technology with a scale like that was so error-free? The Web, in comparison, is a joke. The Web was done by amateurs. – Alan Kay • The Internet will help achieve “friction free capitalism” by putting buyer and seller in direct contact and providing more information to both about each other. – Bill Gates • The Internet, I’m trying to point out, is a kooks’ paradise. Anybody with a keyboard and a modem can spread fear, loathing, and just plain asinine ideas among hundreds of thousands of people with the click of a button. Discouraging, but true. – David F. Emery • The Internet, of course, is more than a place to find pictures of people having sex with dogs. – Philip Elmer-DeWitt • The Internet, too, has strong attributes of a public good, and has undermined the “private good” attributes of old media. Internet service providers obviously can exclude people, but the actual content -the values, the ideas- can be shared with no loss of value for the consumer. It is also extremely inexpensive and easy to share material. Sharing is built into the culture and practices of the Web and has made it difficult for the subscription model to be effective. – Robert Waterman McChesney • The Internet]is a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.- Theodore Stevens • The Internets distinct configuration may have made cyberattacks easy to launch, but it has also kindled the flame of freedom. – Jonathan Zittrain • The internet’s perfect for all manner of things, but productive discussion ain’t one of them. It provides scant room for debate and infinite opportunities for fruitless point-scoring: the heady combination of perceived anonymity, gestated responses, random heckling and a notional “live audience” quickly conspire to create a “perfect storm” of perpetual bickering. – Charlie Brooker • The key is really just saying my brain isn’t big enough to figure out why everything happens. It would be like an ant trying to understand the internet. – Rick Warren • The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation. – Sergey Brin • The most important thing for people to understand is that the basic rule that people have a right to send information over the Internet – even when they are using a wireless device – is part of the framework. – Julius Genachowski • The new information technology… Internet and e-mail… have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications. – Peter Drucker • The old internet is shrinking and being replaced by walled gardens over which Google’s crawlers can’t climb. – John Battelle • The penetration of society by the Internet and the penetration of the Internet by society is the best thing that has ever happened to global human civilisation. – Julian Assange • 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. – Vinton Cerf • The screen is a window through which one sees a virtual world. The challenge is to make that world look real, act real, sound real, feel real. – Ivan Sutherland • The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.- Tim Berners-Lee • The serialization through the Internet or through digital portals, means of ways of communicating, and I think that’s great. – Keanu Reeves • The web site and the Internet are a whole new ball game. – Johnny Ramistella • The whole, ‘Is the internet a good thing or a bad thing’? We’re done with that. It’s just a thing. How to maximise its civic value, its public good – that’s the really big challenge. – Clay Shirky • The worst and the best that the internet ever did was give everybody a voice. – Simon Pegg • There are two things in particular that it [the computer industry] failed to foresee: one was the coming of the Internet(…); the other was the fact that the century would end. – Douglas Adams • There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and the growth of the Internet has jacked up that price. – Monica Lewinsky • There was more data transmitted over the Internet in 2010 than the entire history of the Internet through 2009. – Ben Parr • There’s no real organised body, … so through the internet people have spread their videos, spread photos, and spread word of a new urban movement. – Chris Hayes • Think about this: It was illegal for most people to connect to the internet before 1992.- Steve Case • Thousands of people were producing new Web sites every day. We were just trying to take all that stuff and organize it to make it useful. – David Filo • To get a big company moving fast, especially on a many-headed opportunity like the Internet, you have to have hundreds of people participating and coming up with ideas. – Bill Gates • To seek Truth is automatically a calling for the innate dissident and the subversive; how many are willing to give up safety and security for the perilous life of the spiritual revolutionary? How many are willing to truly learn that their own cherished concepts are wrong? Striking provocative or mysterious poses in the safety of Internet [social media] is far easier than taking the risks involved in the hard work of genuine initiation. – Zeena Schreck • Today with technological advancement, with the Internet, with planes, with the rate at which we travel – even if you wanted, you cannot hide from the rest of the world. And whether you like it or not, you are part of this global marketplace, and so you might as well understand it, you might as well embrace it, because even if you hide, it will find you. – • Together with the rise of the internet, September 11 and its aftermath has changed most of our lives. – Hedi Slimane • Trade on the Internet is becoming very widespread. The problem is our laws have not caught up with electronic commerce. – Susan Bysiewicz • Turns out, theres not a lot of information about pickles on the Internet. – Brian Posehn • US has to be able to rely on a safe and interconnected internet in order to compete with other countries. – Edward Snowden • US spend more on research and development than the other countries, so we shouldn’t be making the internet a more hostile, a more aggressive territory. – Edward Snowden • Use the Internet to get off the Internet! – Scott Heiferman • Video for the Internet has become a testing ground for mediums that actually have revenue. – Mark Cuban • We are excited about Internet access in general. With better access to the Internet, people do more searches. – Larry Page • We believe we’re moving out of the Ice Age, the Iron Age, the Industrial Age, the Information Age, to the participation age. You get on the Net and you do stuff. You IM (instant message), you blog, you take pictures, you publish, you podcast, you transact, you distance learn, you telemedicine. You are participating on the Internet, not just viewing stuff. We build the infrastructure that goes in the data center that facilitates the participation age. We build that big friggin’ Webtone switch. It has security, directory, identity, privacy, storage, compute, the whole Web services stack. – Scott McNealy • We didn’t know the importance of home computers before the Internet. We had them mostly for fun, then the Internet came along and was enabled by all the PCs out there. – Burt Rutan • We have a strong and credible broadband policy because the man who has devised it, the man who will implement it virtually invented the Internet in this country. – Tony Abbott • We must also promote global access to the Internet. We need to bridge the digital divide not just within our country. But among countries. Only by giving people around the world access to this technology can they tap into the potential. Of the information age. – Al Gore • We’re into tech stuff, gadgets, phones, video games. We’ll treat a video game premiere like a movie premiere. I’m just going to be honest with what I like and what I do. What I enjoy. We’re not going to hide the fact that people are on the Internet all day. I think a lot of shows don’t really mention that. – Jimmy Fallon • What we need is a plan B … independent of the Internet. [It] doesn’t necessarily have to have the performance of the Internet, but the police department has to be able to call up the fire department. – Danny Hillis • What, exactly, is the internet? Basically it is a global network exchanging digitized data in such a way that any computer, anywhere, that is equipped with a device called a ‘modem’, can make a noise like a duck choking on a kazoo – Dave Barry • When Bill Clinton assembled the top minds of the nation to discuss the economy in 1992, no one mentioned the Internet. – David Leonhardt • When people conceptualize a cyber-attack, they do tend to think about parts of the critical infrastructure like power plants, water supplies, and similar sort of heavy infrastructure, critical infrastructure areas. And they could be hit, as long as they’re network connected, as long as they have some kind of systems that interact with them that could be manipulated from internet connection. – Edward Snowden • When the Internet first came into public use, it was hailed as a liberation from conformity, a floating world ruled by passion, creativity, innovation and freedom of information. When it was hijacked first by advertising and then by commerce, it seemed like it had been fully co-opted and brought into line with human greed and ambition. – Neil Strauss • When you find yourself on the Internet when you’re supposed to be writing, you’ve already lost. It’s even beyond procrastination when you end up on the Internet. – Noah Baumbach • When you get a small group of fans who hate something, it becomes compounded by the internet. The press picks up the internet like it’s a source. They don’t realise it is just one person typing out their opinion. – George Lucas • When you make the claim that something on the Internet is going to be good for democracy, you often [hear], ‘Are you talking about the thing with the singing cats?’ – Clay Shirky • When you use any kind of internet based capability, any kind of electronic capability, to cause damage to a private entity or a foreign nation or a foreign actor, these are potential acts of war. – Edward Snowden • Who needs evidence when you’ve got the Internet? – Christopher Buckley • Will the highways on the Internet become more few? – George W. Bush • With the development of the Internet…we are in the middle of the most transforming technological event since the capture of fire. I used to think that it was just the biggest thing since Gutenberg, but now I think you have to go back farther. – John Perry Barlow • With YouTube – with the Internet in general – you have information overload. The people who dont necessarily get credit are the curators. – Chad Hurley • You can always find a stray negative comment on the Internet. It’s like everybody loves to put negative comments on the Internet under the cloak of anonymity. – John Legend • You can go back to tulip bulbs in Holland 400 years ago. The human beings going through combinations of fear and greed and all of that sort of thing, their behavior can lead to bubbles. And it may have had and Internet bubble at one time, you’ve had a farm bubble, farmland bubble in the Midwest which resulted in all kinds of tragedy in the early ’80s. – Howard Warren Buffett • You could have these crazy Internet valuations in the late 1990s, but they prove themselves out in the market. The next day they were selling for more than they were the day before, and people said, you know, you’re crazy if you don’t get in on this. So it’s very human. – Howard Warren Buffett • You have to be very clear with yourself about how you’re going to spend your time. When a child is at school or napping, you need to realize that this is your writing time and you don’t spend it surfing the Internet or reading. – Elizabeth Hoyt • You spend money on Internet connection for your employees. Why not spend money on the energy that fuels their brains? – Shawn Achor • Younger feminists actually care about stuff that came before them, the same way that I totally cared about and loved and felt so lucky to have access to the feminism that came before me. To have younger people take what me and my friends have done, and to say ‘We have access to that, but we’re going to put that through our own Internet generation filter and we’re going to make it into something that speaks to us and is a lot smarter.’ – Kathleen Hanna

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Chinese national Internet policy is very simple: Block and clone. – Michael Anti • Cloud computing offers individuals access to data and applications from nearly any point of access to the Internet, offers businesses a whole new way to cut costs for technical infrastructure, and offers big computer companies a potentially giant market for hardware and services. – Jamais Cascio • Crackdowns on Internet content make clear the need for an anonymized Web. Now, someone just needs to implement it. – Jamais Cascio • Cryptography is the essential building block of independence for organisations on the internet, just like armies are the essential building blocks of states, because otherwise one state just takes over another. – Julian Assange • Cutting through the acronyms and argot that littered the hearing testimony, the Internet may fairly be regarded as a never-ending worldwide conversation. The government may not, through the CDA, interrupt that conversation. – Stewart Dalzell • Cyberspace undeniably reflects some form of geography.- Sandra Day O’Connor • Describing the Internet as the Network of Networks is like calling the Space Shuttle, a thing that flies. – Jon Lester • Don’t ever, ever try to lie to the internet. – Gabe Newell • Dont you think dreams and the Internet are similar? They are both areas where the repressed conscious mind vents.- Yasutaka Tsutsui • During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. – Al Gore • Email is a 40-year-old technology that is not going away for very good reasons – it’s the cockroach of the Internet. – Jason Hirschhorn • Entire new continent can emerge from the ocean in the time it takes for a Web page to show up on your screen. Contrary to what you may have heard, the Internet does not operate at the speed of light; it operates at the speed of the DMV. – Dave Barry • Eventually, somewhere – be it on the Internet or somewhere else – I will host some version of ‘The Daily Show.’ – Marcus Brigstocke • Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things but yeah I can imagine that you can kind of – I think it depends on one’s psychological state. I think there are some people who are on the internet and can fall in love and seem to be in a certain psychological state and other people who are – who couldn’t quite do that. – Keanu Reeves • Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. – Mitchell Kapor • Government investment unlocks a huge amount of private sector activity, but the basic research that we put into IT work that led to the Internet and lots of great companies and jobs, the basic work we put into the health care sector, where it’s over $30 billion a year in R&D that led the biotech and pharma jobs. And it creates jobs and it creates new technologies that will be productized. But the government has to prime the pump here. The basic ideas, as in those other industries, start with government investment. – Bill Gates • Guys should not be allowed to use the Internet all day long. So sad.- Natasha Leggero • Human beings are attracted to novelty: to probe the adjacent possible. We didnt stay in the caves. We didnt stay on the planet, and soon we wont stay within the limitations of our biology. We move forward. We transcend our limits. We go to the moon, and we create the Internet. – Jason Silva • I agree completely with my son James when he says ‘Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything, while the former lights up knowledge’. – Kerry Packer • I always had faith in the internet. I believed in it and thought it was obviously going to change the way the world worked. I really did not understand why others were selling their stock. As stock prices plunged, I just bought them, one after another, since I had the money. I guess I was rather lucky. – Takafumi Horie • I always try and tell dudes that are younger than me is that because of the Internet everyone can just be by themselves doing something, but the importance of a group is being able to have some sort of competition. – Earl Sweatshirt • I always use the Internet. It’s a great marketing tool. It’s a great starting point, allowing you to show your trailer and have people all over world be able to see it. It was much harder in the old days. – Tom Six • I am possibly thinking about doing an Internet show in the future that will highlight political organizations that I seek out to let people know about them, volunteer opportunities, and donation opportunities. – Kathleen Hanna • I coauthored my first nonfiction book by the time I was 25. I have been involved in nonfiction documentaries, newspapers, TV and internet since that time.- Julian Assange • I do get offered a lot more roles than I choose to do. I’m very busy as a producer and a writer, especially with my Internet stuff, and I tend to only accept the roles that I know will have an impact and has a fanbase. – Felicia Day • I don’t sweat the Internet. You know, it’s still something I enjoy as a movie geek myself to get on and, like, look at all the websites; however, when it comes to marketing a movie, the Internet is still not the thing that gets people to the theatre. – Michael De Luca • I don’t worry about anything in the Internet age. I have been online since I was aware of it: 1985 in San Francisco. It has changed everything in my life. I would not want to even be alive in an era that did not have it because it is essential to our evolution as a species. – Augusten Burroughs • I graduated from high school in 1963. There were no computers, cell phones, Internet, credit cards, cassette tapes or cable TV. – Jeffrey Gitomer • I had had a lot of experience in bringing the Internet to Australia, and I saw that knowledge in the hands of people achieves reform.- Julian Assange • I hate auditioning; it makes me more nervous than anything ever, and I always feel like I wasted my time and I could have been creating my own thing. With the Internet, you have so much freedom that ‘gatekeepers’ make me terrified. – Grace Helbig • I have a very low tolerance for boredom and often think I would have missed out on books entirely if Id grown up in the Internet and video game age. Now I enjoy books for people of all ages, including children. – Rick Yancey • I have always had stuff on the internet, way back in the Myspace days, I had a lot of friends on Myspace. And it is just all about like networking – contacting people and showing people, like, your mind. – Kreayshawn • I have an almost religious zeal… not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up. – Dan Millman • I have no internet savvy whatsoever, but I love researching things. The Internet is my library… beyond that, I’m completely intimidated by it. – Drew Barrymore • I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially… They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck. It’s a series of tubes. – Theodore Stevens • I live in a bubble. I don’t read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don’t know what people are saying because, well I guess I’m afraid to. – Ron Perlman • I love the Internet, and I love wasting time on the Internet – even though it sometimes ends up being not being a waste of time. – Claire Cameron • I sometimes wonder how we spent leisure time before satellite television and Internet came along…and then I realise that I have spent more than half of my life in the ‘dark ages’! – Arthur C. Clarke • I think [the virtual choir] speaks well to a benevolent future for the Internet. – Eric Whitacre • I think it’s a bit silly to brand the Internet as the ‘downfall of youth.’- Ernest Cline • I think middle America has changed very, very much. I think people are way more open-minded. I think – I think it’s because the Internet. I think they’re exposed to so much. All the men talked about how much they love their wife, which I don’t hear all the time in art communities.- John Waters • I think that online harassment has become so ubiquitous on the Internet that a lot of women do feel safer, whatever that means, in spaces where they know like people are not going to bother them in that kind of way. – Jessica Valenti • I think that the Internet is our most profound and beautiful achievement. It is magnificent. We have the Internet as a layer of our thinking that doesn’t control us, we control it, yet we don’t have to be aware of it. It will be like a suit that really fits well. – Augusten Burroughs • I think there is a possible future where maybe we do just take a hard turn away from the Internet and we do start valuing our privacy again. – Brian K. Vaughan • I think with every successful consumer Internet business, there will be lawyers that are interested in going after your company, especially when they think that there’s a financial incentive. – Jeremy Stoppelman • I use the Internet for what it’s for: to learn. – Danny Brown • I want to preserve the free and open Internet – the experience that most users and entrepreneurs have come to expect and enjoy today and that has unleashed impressive innovation, job creation, and investment. – Julius Genachowski • I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website – but on the internet, people only look at pictures of kittens. – Banksy • I wanted to reexamine the idea of the album for generations of people who are not my age, who love music or learning about music or are finding this band called R.E.M. or have just previously heard “Losing My Religion” and “Everybody Hurts” as their elevator music. I wanted to present an idea of what an album could be in the age of YouTube and the Internet. – Christopher Bollen • I was inspired by the Hole in the Wall project, where a computer with an internet connection was put in a Delhi slum. When the slum was revisited after a month, the children of that slum had learned how to use the worldwide web. – Sugata Mitra • I wont deny that I have a far more productive writing life without the Internet, mostly because I rekindle my ability to concentrate on one thing for a period of longer than three minutes. My curiosity is channeled inward rather than Internet-ward. – Heidi Julavits • I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she’s too young to have logged on yet. Here’s what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say ‘Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?’ – Mike Godwin • I’d like to know what the Internet is going to look like in 2050. Thinking about it makes me wish I were eight years old. – Vinton Cerf • If I do need to make money suddenly, I prefer to just draw something I want to draw and have someone else sell it for me on the Internet. – Chester Brown • If some unemployed punk in New Jersey, can get a cassette to make love to Elle McPherson for $19.95, this virtual reality stuff is going to make crack look like Sanka. – Dennis Miller • If the Internet can be described as a giant human consciousness, then viral marketing is the illusion of free will. – George Pendle • If the Internet is worth its salt, it has to help arrest the forces that promote inequality, monopoly, hypercommercialism, corruption, depoliticization and stagnation. – Robert Waterman McChesney • If the Internet turns out not to be the future of computing, we’re toast. But if it is, we’re golden. – Larry Ellison • If you and I got on an airplane, you’re going to L.A., Los Angeles, and I’m going to Senegal, we get there about the same time. The world is just that small. So a world that is so tightly bound by science and technology and now Internet and the web page, that world is too small for bullies. It has no room in that world for arrogance. – Jesse Jackson • If you have a kid and you try irony out on them, they don’t get it at 7, 8 years old. You can’t really hide the Internet from kids. It worries me some particularly because I’ve done Disney and Pixar stuff. – Randy Newman • If you hear an expert talking about the Internet and saying it [does] this, or it will do that, you should treat it with the same skepticism that you might treat the comments of an economist about the economy or a weatherman about the weather.- Danny Hillis • If you look at the evolution of games from console to Internet to mobile, and look at social networking from Web to mobile, everything is fragmenting. – Chris DeWolfe • If you offer people a decent service, if you give them you know Internet access, if their phones are not cut off on the trains, you know if you have plugs where they can plug in their computers, and if you have a smiling, cheerful staff; and if you can travel really quickly, then you can make a success out of the rail business. – Richard Branson • I’m a great believer in particularly being alert to changes that change something, anything, by an order of magnitude, and nothing operates with the factors of 10 as profoundly as the Internet. – Andy Grove • Im accustomed to Internet forums where rudeness and incivility are the rule, where too many people seem to take pride in their insults. – Bryan Burrough • I’m lucky enough to have been in the age before the internet and now during the internet. I’m grateful to be a witness to that. It’s horse and buggy versus car. To see how quickly things change has given me a renewed sense of optimism. Does that make sense? – Kathleen Hanna Impact, Roles, Stuff • In a way, the whole music industry is just catering to the inherent esteem issues all these artists have – it lays it all out on the line and baits the artist, like a light baits a mosquito. And you go right into it. With every comment on the internet, you go up, you go down, and it’s a big shitshow full of uneducated people. – Willis Earl Beal • In much the same way, motherhood has become the essential female experience, valued above all others: giving life is where it’s at. Give birth in cities where accommodation is precarious, schools have surrendered the fight and children are subject to the most vicious mental assault through advertising, TV, internet, fizzy drink manufacturers and so on. Without children you will never be fulfilled as a woman, but bringing up kids in decent conditions is almost impossible. – Virginie Despentes • In order for us [people] to progress, we need brilliance and brilliance isn’t fair and it’s not polite and we can’t grow it. It happens. Genius happens and it doesn’t always happen in a zip code where we can access it. Therefore, we kind of need [Internet] not to keep tabs on everybody but we need to give them access to everybody else. – Augusten Burroughs • In production, in the first couple of weeks of production, that it was more like making an internet musical. – Joss Whedon • In the Internet age, with the screaming on the radio, etc., it is hard to know what to believe and who is informed and who is not. – Michael Specter • In this business, by the time you realize you’re in trouble, it’s too late to save yourself. Unless you’re running scared all the time, you’re gone. – Bill Gates Information, Pickles, Turns • Innovation is what America does best. Whether it is the Apollo Project to the moon, developing the most advanced defense technologies available, the rise of the Internet or the latest advancements in biomedical gene therapies, our nation leads the world in transformative innovations. �� Martin Heinrich • Internet technology, like anything else that mankind creates is a tool and that tool can be used for good or for evil, like a light saber. Technology is supposed to bring people together, streamline things and make life easier and in a lot of ways it does that. However, technology can also disconnect you from other people and break down the social network, the real social network of family and friends and interpersonal communication, and isolate people, make them feel alone, make them feel small. So it’s a tool that needs to be used correctly. – Rainn Wilson • Internet users, that blue screen of death you were looking at this morning? That’s the sky. If you’re still confused, look it up on Wikipedia tomorrow. – Stephen Colbert • It all stems from the same thing – which is that when we are face to face – and this is what I think is so ironic about Facebook being called Facebook, because we are not face to face on Facebook … when we are face to face, we are inhibited by the presence of the other. We are inhibited from aggression by the presence of another face, another person. We’re aware that we’re with a human being. On the Internet, we are disinhibited from taking into full account that we are in the presence of another human being. – Sherry Turkle • It is possible to think that the Internet will be a net positive for society while admitting that there are significant downsides – after all, it’s not a revolution if nobody loses. – Clay Shirky • It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that the Internet has evolved into a force strong enough to reflect the greatest hopes and fears of those who use it. After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics. – Denise Caruso • Its flattering that there are lots of Internet fan sites about me. Im a bit of a technophobe and I dont even own a laptop, but its probably a good thing Im not logged on, checking up on what everyone is saying about me. – Jonas Armstrong • It’s important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It’s not only life of babies, but it’s life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet. – George W. Bush • It’s like they say in the Internet world — if you’re doing the same thing today you were doing six months ago, you’re doing the wrong thing. Parents can learn a lot from that. – Bruce Feiler • It’s very advantageous to be sensitive with your work – and, yet, being sensitive, in reality, when criticized, it can annihilate you. It can destroy you. And with the internet there sometimes is a lot of harm, which I find must be very difficult for youngsters coming on – it can be very harsh; the criticism. And, sometimes, it can be a little cruel – which makes it hard for young performers coming on. – Michael Crawford • I’ve learned a lot about things because of the Internet. I’m happy with it, but it’s a long road for me. I’m still definitely a little anti. – Patrick Stump • John Kerry is finding out that it is no fun to be the front runner, that’s when you get all the heat. He had to deny internet rumors this week that he had Botox treatments. The Republicans say Kerry should have a clear, unfurrowed brow the old fashioned way by not giving a sh–. – Bill Maher • Just as the Internet drops transaction and collaboration costs in business and government, it also drops the cost of dissent, of rebellion, and even insurrection. – Don Tapscott • Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects. – Stewart Dalzell • Just as we could have rode into the sunset, along came the Internet, and it tripled the significance of the PC. – Andy Grove • Magazines that depend on photography, and design, and long reads, and quality stuff, are going to do just fine despite the Internet and cable news. – Jann Wenner • Most Internet business theorists are really looking at preserving the necks of giant, Fortune 500 companies, rather than promoting the digital, peer-to-peer economy that actually wants to happen. – Douglas Rushkoff • Most kids come home from school. They don’t go to their TVs first. They go to the Internet. They check their emails, or some blogs, or some sites. Then they go watch TV. Other people are at work all day 9-5 in front of a computer. They see certain clips. We’re not going to hide the fact that people use the Internet. We’re going to try to be as interactive as possible with our fans. I’m currently on Twitter and Facebook and Flicker and Dig. I’m on all that stuff. – Jimmy Fallon • My favorite thing about the Internet is that you get to go into the private world of real creeps without having to smell them.- Penn Jillette • My wife and I have purchased two hybrids. We bought a 3 kw photovoltaic unit. We recycle and offset our carbon emissions on the Internet. We turn things off. But we also spend two nice salaries every year, and here’s the dirty little secret – our environmental footprint is HUGE, I’m sure. We’ve all got to do what we can in our individual lives, but we’ve also got to drive the systemic changes that will make the big differences. – James Gustave Speth • Net Neutrality’ is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government. – Ted Cruz • Net neutrality was essential for our economy; it was essential to preserve freedom and openness, both for economic reasons and free speech reasons, and the government had a role in ensuring that Internet freedom was protected.- Julius Genachowski • Newspapers and magazines didn’t want pictures of musicians behaving badly back then. Now, because of the Internet, that’s all the media wants. – Mick Rock • Nowadays we have so many things that take our attention – phones, Internet – and perhaps we need to disconnect from those and focus on the immediate world around us and the people that are actually present. – Nicholas Hoult • Nowadays, anyone who cannot speak English and is incapable of using the Internet is regarded as backward. – Al-Waleed bin Talal • On Chinese Internet, freedom is a targeted and precise window. – Michael Anti • On the Internet you get continuous innovation, so every year the streams are a little better. – Reed Hastings • On the Internet, everyone is writing. There is a great flowering of writing.- James Salter • On the Internet, there are an unlimited number of competitors. Anybody with a Flip camera is your competition. What makes it even worse is that YouTube is willing to subsidize the cost of your bandwidth. So anybody can create and distribute for free basically, but the real cost is marketing. And that’s always the big cost – how do you stand out and what’s the cost of standing out? And there’s no limit to that cost. – Mark Cuban • One of the Internet’s strengths is its ability to help consumers find the right needle in a digital haystack of data. – Jared Sandberg • One of the myths about the Internet of Things is that companies have all the data they need, but their real challenge is making sense of it. In reality, the cost of collecting some kinds of data remains too high, the quality of the data isn’t always good enough, and it remains difficult to integrate multiple data sources. – Chris Murphy • One of the things I like about making stuff in the age of the Internet, is that people make stuff in response to it. You can see people respond to your work visually or musically or with writing.- John Green • One of the things that I realized when I left office was that in the 1990’s citizens across the world applied more power than they had ever had, as compared with the government, because of more people living under democracies than dictatorships for the first time, the power of the internet, which the young Chinese used to basically change China’s policy on the SARS epidemic, and shut it down, and because of the rise in non-governmental organizations like my foundation. – William J. Clinton • One of the wonderful things about Internet is its like a salon. It brings people together from different intellectual walks of life. – Eric Kandel • People are mostly focused on defending the computers on the Internet, and there’s been surprisingly little attention to defending the Internet itself as a communications medium. And I think we probably do need to pay some more attention to that, because it’s actually kind of fragile.- Danny Hillis • People depend on the Open Internet to connect and communicate with each other freely. Voters need it to inform themselves before casting ballots. Without prompt corrective action by the Commission to reclassify broadband, this awful ruling will serve as a sorry memorial to the corporate abrogation of free speech. – Michael Copps • People over the age of thirty were born before the digital revolution really started. We’ve learned to use digital technology-laptops, cameras, personal digital assistants, the Internet-as adults, and it has been something like learning a foreign language. Most of us are okay, and some are even expert. We do e-mails and PowerPoint, surf the Internet, and feel we’re at the cutting edge. But compared to most people under thirty and certainly under twenty, we are fumbling amateurs. People of that age were born after the digital revolution began. They learned to speak digital as a mother tongue. – Ken Robinson • People wouldn’t go on Facebook unless they wanted to share with groups of people. But there is this perception that you have been on a course to push people’s information where it’s visible across the Internet unless they do a bunch of stuff. – Walt Mossberg • Privacy is not an option, and it shouldn’t be the price we accept for just getting on the Internet. – Gary Kovacs • Reddit is not a public utility or a public square; its a privately owned space on the Internet. – John Scalzi • Science fiction does not remain fiction for long. And certainly not on the Internet. – Vinton Cerf • Social media and the Internet haven’t changed our capacity for social interaction any more than the Internet has changed our ability to be in love or our basic propensity to violence, because those are such fundamental human attributes. – Nicholas A. Christakis • Some jerk infected the Internet with an outright lie. It shows how easy it is to do and how credulous people are. – Kurt Vonnegut • Thanks is part to our education system, we tend to think that we’re smarter than the stupid guys in funny wigs who came before us. But that’s because we are mistaking technology, progress, and access to information for intelligence. We think that because we know how to use iPhones (but not build them), browse the Internet (but not understand how it works), and use Google (but not really know anything), our educational system is working just great. By the same token, we think that those dumb aristocrats who used horses to get around and didn’t have electricity were neanderthals. – Glenn Beck • That is, we’re into a whole new world with the Internet, and whenever we sort of cross another plateau in our development, there are those who seek to take advantage of it. So this is a replay of things that have happened throughout our history. – William J. Clinton • The American revolutionaries believed in the power of the word. But they had only word of mouth and the printing press. We have the Internet. – Robert Darnton • The artistic desire reveals itself in dark form – in karaoke bars [or] trolling on the Internet. – Young-Ha Kim • The big change, the really radical change in communication, was in the late 19th century. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph is astronomical. Everything since then has been small increments, including the internet. – Noam Chomsky • The big downside to the global village that the Internet has created is that nothing has time to grow out of the public gaze and, even more dangerous, whatever your personal interests might be, there will always be someone somewhere to provide validation and encouragement. – Derek Ridgers • The boom was healthy too, even with its excesses. Because what this incredible valuation craze did was draw untold sums of billions of dollars into building the Internet infrastructure. The hundreds of billions of dollars that got invested in telecommunications, for example. – Andy Grove • The constant buzz and pressure and noise and static of the Internet, and the way it makes young people feel makes it difficult to grow up and develop the way one might want to. – Ethan Hawke • The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I’d been up all night inventing the Camcorder. – Al Gore • The Internet “browser”… is the piece of software that puts a message on your computer screen informing you that the Internet is currently busy and you should try again later. – Dave Barry • The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. Someone the other day said, “It’s the biggest thing since Gutenberg,” and then someone else said “No, it’s the biggest thing since the invention of writing.”- Rupert Murdoch • The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. – Rupert Murdoch • The Internet has really democratized ideas. There are no real gatekeepers any more, because if you have a great idea, and you put it online, people will find it and it will get in front of who it needs to get in front of. – Justin Halpern • The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, “people without lives.” We don’t care. We have each other. – Dave Barry • The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, “people without lives.” We don’t care. We have each other…. While you are destroying your mind watching the worthless, brain-rotting drivel on TV, we on the Internet are exchanging, freely and openly, the most settings, uninhibited, intimate and, yes, shocking details about our “CONFIG.SYS.” – Dave Barry • The Internet is a telephone system that’s gotten uppity. – Clifford Stoll • The Internet is a very intimate entertainment experience. I’m in my own apartment talking to people, and I want them to feel like they’re with me in my apartment. So if I’m listening to them and taking ideas from them and being honest with how I’m feeling, it resonates even more that we’re having a real, actual conversation. – Grace Helbig • The Internet is all about accessing entertainment. Realistically, 50 to 80 percent of all traffic is people downloading stuff for free. If you can turn that huge market share into something that you can monetize, even if it is just with ads, you will end up making more money than with all other revenue streams combined. – Kim Dotcom • The internet is an amazing medium for languages. – David Crystal • The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow. – Bill Gates • The Internet is disrupting every media industry…people can complain about that, but complaining is not a strategy. And Amazon is not happening to book selling, the future is happening to book selling. – Jeff Bezos • The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom. – Jon Stewart • The Internet is like a gold-rush; the only people making money are those who sell the pans. – Will Hobbs • The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect. – Esther Dyson • The Internet is merely a new means of communication, that’s all it is. It serves the purpose of getting information, which it is fantastic at. I mean, I live by the Internet in terms of research and it’s incredible – there’s nothing that you can’t find out about. It’s not stopped me going to bookshops but I must say that I don’t go into as many because any book I want. – David Bowie • The internet is necessarily public. It can be filtered-public or censored-public, but it necessarily has to be open and available. – John Green • The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn’t understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had. – Eric Schmidt • The Internet is the great equalizer.The technology which emanated from the Silicon Valley of California has more potential to ameliorate social inequality than any development in the history of the world, including the industrial revolution. – Benazir Bhutto • The Internet is the greatest thing that ever happened to the entertainment industry. – Michael Ovitz • The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting. – Dave Barry • The internet makes everything not enough. – Alec Sulkin • The Internet nowadays is all sensationalism, and it’s just terrifying when you’re actually experiencing it as a person.- Bradford Cox • The Internet seems like a safe house for the opposite mentality, for cynics and for jerks and for people who want to lash out. And it’s a valid thing. It’s a valid forum and I’m not going say that they aren’t valid feelings. But it’s sad. Considering the potential that something like the Internet, that connects so many people, has for good. I think it’s sad that it’s used so often for nothing but unfounded, overzealous negativity. – Chris Gethard • The Internet shapes my life and work so completely that I couldn’t imagine living without it. – Nicola Formichetti • The Internet was done so well that most people think of it as a natural resource like the Pacific Ocean, rather than something that was man-made. When was the last time a technology with a scale like that was so error-free? The Web, in comparison, is a joke. The Web was done by amateurs. – Alan Kay • The Internet will help achieve “friction free capitalism” by putting buyer and seller in direct contact and providing more information to both about each other. – Bill Gates • The Internet, I’m trying to point out, is a kooks’ paradise. Anybody with a keyboard and a modem can spread fear, loathing, and just plain asinine ideas among hundreds of thousands of people with the click of a button. Discouraging, but true. – David F. Emery • The Internet, of course, is more than a place to find pictures of people having sex with dogs. – Philip Elmer-DeWitt • The Internet, too, has strong attributes of a public good, and has undermined the “private good” attributes of old media. Internet service providers obviously can exclude people, but the actual content -the values, the ideas- can be shared with no loss of value for the consumer. It is also extremely inexpensive and easy to share material. Sharing is built into the culture and practices of the Web and has made it difficult for the subscription model to be effective. – Robert Waterman McChesney • The Internet]is a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.- Theodore Stevens • The Internets distinct configuration may have made cyberattacks easy to launch, but it has also kindled the flame of freedom. – Jonathan Zittrain • The internet’s perfect for all manner of things, but productive discussion ain’t one of them. It provides scant room for debate and infinite opportunities for fruitless point-scoring: the heady combination of perceived anonymity, gestated responses, random heckling and a notional “live audience” quickly conspire to create a “perfect storm” of perpetual bickering. – Charlie Brooker • The key is really just saying my brain isn’t big enough to figure out why everything happens. It would be like an ant trying to understand the internet. – Rick Warren • The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation. – Sergey Brin • The most important thing for people to understand is that the basic rule that people have a right to send information over the Internet – even when they are using a wireless device – is part of the framework. – Julius Genachowski • The new information technology… Internet and e-mail… have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications. – Peter Drucker • The old internet is shrinking and being replaced by walled gardens over which Google’s crawlers can’t climb. – John Battelle • The penetration of society by the Internet and the penetration of the Internet by society is the best thing that has ever happened to global human civilisation. – Julian Assange • 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. – Vinton Cerf • The screen is a window through which one sees a virtual world. The challenge is to make that world look real, act real, sound real, feel real. – Ivan Sutherland • The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.- Tim Berners-Lee • The serialization through the Internet or through digital portals, means of ways of communicating, and I think that’s great. – Keanu Reeves • The web site and the Internet are a whole new ball game. – Johnny Ramistella • The whole, ‘Is the internet a good thing or a bad thing’? We’re done with that. It’s just a thing. How to maximise its civic value, its public good – that’s the really big challenge. – Clay Shirky • The worst and the best that the internet ever did was give everybody a voice. – Simon Pegg • There are two things in particular that it [the computer industry] failed to foresee: one was the coming of the Internet(…); the other was the fact that the century would end. – Douglas Adams • There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and the growth of the Internet has jacked up that price. – Monica Lewinsky • There was more data transmitted over the Internet in 2010 than the entire history of the Internet through 2009. – Ben Parr • There’s no real organised body, … so through the internet people have spread their videos, spread photos, and spread word of a new urban movement. – Chris Hayes • Think about this: It was illegal for most people to connect to the internet before 1992.- Steve Case • Thousands of people were producing new Web sites every day. We were just trying to take all that stuff and organize it to make it useful. – David Filo • To get a big company moving fast, especially on a many-headed opportunity like the Internet, you have to have hundreds of people participating and coming up with ideas. – Bill Gates • To seek Truth is automatically a calling for the innate dissident and the subversive; how many are willing to give up safety and security for the perilous life of the spiritual revolutionary? How many are willing to truly learn that their own cherished concepts are wrong? Striking provocative or mysterious poses in the safety of Internet [social media] is far easier than taking the risks involved in the hard work of genuine initiation. – Zeena Schreck • Today with technological advancement, with the Internet, with planes, with the rate at which we travel – even if you wanted, you cannot hide from the rest of the world. And whether you like it or not, you are part of this global marketplace, and so you might as well understand it, you might as well embrace it, because even if you hide, it will find you. – • Together with the rise of the internet, September 11 and its aftermath has changed most of our lives. – Hedi Slimane • Trade on the Internet is becoming very widespread. The problem is our laws have not caught up with electronic commerce. – Susan Bysiewicz • Turns out, theres not a lot of information about pickles on the Internet. – Brian Posehn • US has to be able to rely on a safe and interconnected internet in order to compete with other countries. – Edward Snowden • US spend more on research and development than the other countries, so we shouldn’t be making the internet a more hostile, a more aggressive territory. – Edward Snowden • Use the Internet to get off the Internet! – Scott Heiferman • Video for the Internet has become a testing ground for mediums that actually have revenue. – Mark Cuban • We are excited about Internet access in general. With better access to the Internet, people do more searches. – Larry Page • We believe we’re moving out of the Ice Age, the Iron Age, the Industrial Age, the Information Age, to the participation age. You get on the Net and you do stuff. You IM (instant message), you blog, you take pictures, you publish, you podcast, you transact, you distance learn, you telemedicine. You are participating on the Internet, not just viewing stuff. We build the infrastructure that goes in the data center that facilitates the participation age. We build that big friggin’ Webtone switch. It has security, directory, identity, privacy, storage, compute, the whole Web services stack. – Scott McNealy • We didn’t know the importance of home computers before the Internet. We had them mostly for fun, then the Internet came along and was enabled by all the PCs out there. – Burt Rutan • We have a strong and credible broadband policy because the man who has devised it, the man who will implement it virtually invented the Internet in this country. – Tony Abbott • We must also promote global access to the Internet. We need to bridge the digital divide not just within our country. But among countries. Only by giving people around the world access to this technology can they tap into the potential. Of the information age. – Al Gore • We’re into tech stuff, gadgets, phones, video games. We’ll treat a video game premiere like a movie premiere. I’m just going to be honest with what I like and what I do. What I enjoy. We’re not going to hide the fact that people are on the Internet all day. I think a lot of shows don’t really mention that. – Jimmy Fallon • What we need is a plan B … independent of the Internet. [It] doesn’t necessarily have to have the performance of the Internet, but the police department has to be able to call up the fire department. – Danny Hillis • What, exactly, is the internet? Basically it is a global network exchanging digitized data in such a way that any computer, anywhere, that is equipped with a device called a ‘modem’, can make a noise like a duck choking on a kazoo – Dave Barry • When Bill Clinton assembled the top minds of the nation to discuss the economy in 1992, no one mentioned the Internet. – David Leonhardt • When people conceptualize a cyber-attack, they do tend to think about parts of the critical infrastructure like power plants, water supplies, and similar sort of heavy infrastructure, critical infrastructure areas. And they could be hit, as long as they’re network connected, as long as they have some kind of systems that interact with them that could be manipulated from internet connection. – Edward Snowden • When the Internet first came into public use, it was hailed as a liberation from conformity, a floating world ruled by passion, creativity, innovation and freedom of information. When it was hijacked first by advertising and then by commerce, it seemed like it had been fully co-opted and brought into line with human greed and ambition. – Neil Strauss • When you find yourself on the Internet when you’re supposed to be writing, you’ve already lost. It’s even beyond procrastination when you end up on the Internet. – Noah Baumbach • When you get a small group of fans who hate something, it becomes compounded by the internet. The press picks up the internet like it’s a source. They don’t realise it is just one person typing out their opinion. – George Lucas • When you make the claim that something on the Internet is going to be good for democracy, you often [hear], ‘Are you talking about the thing with the singing cats?’ – Clay Shirky • When you use any kind of internet based capability, any kind of electronic capability, to cause damage to a private entity or a foreign nation or a foreign actor, these are potential acts of war. – Edward Snowden • Who needs evidence when you’ve got the Internet? – Christopher Buckley • Will the highways on the Internet become more few? – George W. Bush • With the development of the Internet…we are in the middle of the most transforming technological event since the capture of fire. I used to think that it was just the biggest thing since Gutenberg, but now I think you have to go back farther. – John Perry Barlow • With YouTube – with the Internet in general – you have information overload. The people who dont necessarily get credit are the curators. – Chad Hurley • You can always find a stray negative comment on the Internet. It’s like everybody loves to put negative comments on the Internet under the cloak of anonymity. – John Legend • You can go back to tulip bulbs in Holland 400 years ago. The human beings going through combinations of fear and greed and all of that sort of thing, their behavior can lead to bubbles. And it may have had and Internet bubble at one time, you’ve had a farm bubble, farmland bubble in the Midwest which resulted in all kinds of tragedy in the early ’80s. – Howard Warren Buffett • You could have these crazy Internet valuations in the late 1990s, but they prove themselves out in the market. The next day they were selling for more than they were the day before, and people said, you know, you’re crazy if you don’t get in on this. So it’s very human. – Howard Warren Buffett • You have to be very clear with yourself about how you’re going to spend your time. When a child is at school or napping, you need to realize that this is your writing time and you don’t spend it surfing the Internet or reading. – Elizabeth Hoyt • You spend money on Internet connection for your employees. Why not spend money on the energy that fuels their brains? – Shawn Achor • Younger feminists actually care about stuff that came before them, the same way that I totally cared about and loved and felt so lucky to have access to the feminism that came before me. To have younger people take what me and my friends have done, and to say ‘We have access to that, but we’re going to put that through our own Internet generation filter and we’re going to make it into something that speaks to us and is a lot smarter.’ – Kathleen Hanna
