    quotes

    I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
    - Ralph Waldo Emerson


    And you know, when you study the semiotics of Through the Looking Glass or watch every episode of Star Trek, you've got to make it pay off, so you throw a lot of study references into whatever you do later in life.
    - Matt Groening


    She wrote secret web pages with gentle empty spaces where the universe could creep in and rest when it got overwhelmed.
    - Robin Williams


    Cable news networks...often act as if the best way to present information is to serve the viewer two opposing advocates battling it out. But in many instances, this ends up confusing rather than illuminating. Not every fact is debatable, not every opinion equal -- or worth equal time.
    - David Corn


    Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
    - Arthur C. Clarke


    This "telephone" has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no use to us.
    - Western Union internal memo, 1876


    The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?
    - David Sarnoff's associates, in response to his urging for investment in radio, 1920s


    Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.
    - Popular Mechanics, 1949


    There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.
    - Ken Olson, President and founder of Digital, 1977
