I often feel like a dinosaur. i don't get the technology thing at all. i was on the internet not long ago for barnes and noble, and people were ringing up from all over the world - australia, canada, france. i experienced it as an informal chat, which was pleasant, but i couldn't quite take it in. it had a strong element of unreality. i can't be bothered to switch to a computer at my age, though i might get along with e-mail, which sounds appealing.

I Often Feel Like A Dinosaur. I

I often feel like a dinosaur. i don't get the technology thing at all. i was on the internet not long ago for barnes and noble, and people were ringing up from all over the world - australia, canada, france. i experienced it as an informal chat, which was pleasant, but i couldn't quite take it in. it had a strong element of unreality. i can't be bothered to switch to a computer at my age, though i might get along with e-mail, which sounds appealing.

Mice are terribly chatty. they will chat about anything, and if there is nothing to chat about, they will chat about having nothing to chat about. compared to mice, robins are reserved.

Abnegation produces deeply serious people. people who automatically see things like need,” he says. “i’ve noticed that when people switch to dauntless, it creates some of the same types. erudite who switch to dauntless tend to turn cruel and brutal. candor who switch to dauntless tend to become boisterous, fight-picking adrenaline junkies. and abnegation who switch to dauntless become . . . i don’t know, soldiers, i guess. revolutionaries.

I love technology. matches, to light a fire is really high tech. the wheel is really one of the great inventions of all time. other than that i am an ignoramus about technology. i once looked for the 'on' button on the computer and came to find out it was on the back. then i thought, anyone who would put the 'on' switch on the back, where you can't find it, doesn't do any good for my psyche. the one time i did get the computer on, i couldn't turn the damn thing off!

There is a documentary element in my films, a very strong documentary element, but by documentary element, i mean an element that's out of control, that's not controlled by me. and that element is the words, the language that people use, what they say in an interview. they're not written, not rehearsed. it's spontaneous, extemporaneous material. people

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.

First let me report that the art in the barnes collection has never looked better. my trips to the old barnes were always amazing, but except on the sunniest days, you could barely see the art. the building always felt pushed beyond its capacity.

Similar Quotes

Story is far older than the art of science and psychology, and will always be the elder in the equation no matter how much time passes.

Within our whole universe the story only has the authority to answer that cry of heart of its characters, that one cry of heart of each of them: "who am i?"

How small of all that human hearts endure, that part which laws or kings can cause or cure! still to ourselves in every place consigned, our own felicity we make or find. with secret course, which no loud storms annoy, glides the smooth current of domestic joy.

How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.
