Chicago Architectural Club Thompson Center Competition Finalists

Seven finalists have been chosen by the jury for the Thompson Center Design Competition

Winning design will be announced at a pop-up exhibit of the winning and finalists’ designs opening at the CAC on Tuesday, September 14

CHICAGO – The Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) and the Chicago Architectural Club have announced seven finalists for the architectural design competition calling for new, creative visions for the State of Illinois Thompson Center designed by Helmut Jahn, built in 1984 and put up for sale in May 2021. The winning design proposal will be announced Tuesday, September 14 at the opening of a pop-up exhibit featuring the winning and finalists’ designs on view at the CAC through October.

The competition seeks to give the building new life through restorative architecture while preserving its architecture and public character. The competition was open to anyone with a vision for the building including students, architects, designers, planners, and artists. The jury reviewed 59 entries from 5 countries representing work by professional designers and established firms as well as young architects and students.

“The jury’s selection of the seven finalists for the 2021 Chicago Prize Competition provide an impressively diverse set of possible uses for a re-imagined space devoted to Chicago’s civic ideals,” said Elva Rubio, Chicago Architecture Club co-president. “The design proposals turn the space into a new civic center with a state-of-the-art glass façade, a mixed-use development with an open-air park on the ground floor, a new Chicago Public School, a hotel and indoor waterpark, an urban farm, an art and civic culture destination with imaginative spaces suspended in the atrium, and a conical skyscraper skinned as a 3D LED screen.”

The finalists include:

“Offset: The Vertical Loop” is a mixed-use development with a new thermal envelope behind the original curtain wall that is set atop a ground-level remade as a public park within hanging gardens. Each floor is zoned, moving from public at the ground level park to private residences and vegetable gardens nearer the roof. Submitted by Tom Lee and Christopher Eastman of Eastman Lee Architects.

“One Chicago School” is a new prototype public school focused on public policy and civic engagement for students in Chicago to learn, question, and ignite change. Submitted by Jay Longo, James Michaels, Kaitlin Frankforter, Michael Quach, Abaan Zia, Mackenzie Anderson, Nicolas Waidele, Roberta Brucato, Zachary Michaliska of Solomon Cordwell Buenz, Chicago.

“Public Pool” is a hotel in place of offices ringing an indoor waterpark with monumental waterfalls dominating the atrium set in a garden. Submitted by David Rader, Jerry Johnson, Ryan Monteleagre, and Matt Zelensek of Perkins&Will, Chicago.

“Rejuvenation” wraps the existing exterior in a new “smart glass” façade using electronically tintable glass controlled by occupants to improve comfort, maximize daylight, and reduce energy costs. Exterior video projections share Chicago civic news and digital arts media. Submitted by Yuqi Shao and Andrew Li, students at the College of Architecture at Illinois Institute of Technology.

“Ripple” envisions a new sustainable public attraction comprised of auditoriums, art galleries, and community spaces rising within the exterior arc of the current atrium. These new spaces lead to a top-floor urban farm with rooftop green houses that use the existing CTA tracks to distribute the produce from the farm to food deserts around the city. Submitted by Patrick Carata, Simon Cygielski, Sarah Bush, Ilyssa Kaserman, Sean King, Amparito Martinez, Marcin Rysniak, Mica Manaois, Ed Curley, and Cameron Scott of Epstein.

“There’s Something for Everyone” creates an authentic new civic and social space linked to cultural groups across the city. Existing floor plates contain support or “back of house” spaces while the volume of the atrium will house performance stages, cinemas, arts galleries, and rehearsal spaces creating strong ties to the diverse arts and civic life of the City of Chicago. Submitted by Chava Danielson, Eric Haas, Tim Jordan, Bohan Charlie Lang, and Xixi Luo of DSH architecture, Los Angeles.

“Thompson-Scraper“ opens the atrium to the outdoors while wrapping the interior floors above with a façade that becomes a 3D LED matrix able to display images and video. Using the existing elevator banks as a core tube support structure, new floors rise above the existing structure with the familiar step-backs and topped with a conical “spire” also wrapped in 3D LED matrix. Submitted by Wenyi Zhu of Zhu Wenyi Atelier at Tsinghua University, Beijing.

The jurors include international experts in the design of museums and civic spaces, restorative architecture and landscape architecture, historic preservation, civic culture, and the work of Helmut Jahn, architect of the Thompson Center. The jury includes Carol Ross Barney, Founder and Design Principal, Ross Barney Architects, FAIA, HASLA; Michelle T. Boone, President, The Poetry Foundation; Philip Castillo, Executive Vice President, JAHN, FAIA; Peter D. Cook, Design Principal, HGA Architects & Engineers, AIA, NOMA; Thomas Heatherwick, Founder and Design Director, Heatherwick Studio; Mikyoung Kim, Founding Principal, Mikyoung Kim Design; Bonnie McDonald, President & CEO, Landmarks Illinois.

“In reviewing the design proposals and selecting these seven finalists, my fellow jurors and I considered how to ‘crack open’ the ground floor of the Thompson Center and make it breathe life into the streets,” said juror Thomas Heatherwick. “The strongest proposals show how emphasizing the ground experience and creating a dynamism inside the building can become an attractor that brings a new chemistry to the city. There is such a great opportunity here to reimagine a new type of public space and again showcase Chicago as a global hub for top design.”

The sale and possible demolition of the Thompson Center has been controversial among Chicagoans and architecture and design professionals around the world. Despite the toll caused by lack of maintenance, Helmut Jahn’s design of the Thompson Center is prized by the design world as a unique example of post-modern architectural design in a civic building meant to draw citizens into the daily workings of government. The State of Illinois issued a request for proposals for the Thompson Center site in August 2019. On August 17, 2021, the State of Illinois delayed the announcement of the winning bid from January to April 2022, reportedly at the request of developers submitting proposals.

The CAC’s pop-up exhibit featuring the winning and finalists’ designs will join the CAC’s current Helmut Jahn retrospective. Both will be open to the public through October. In July, the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) opened its first, major limited-run exhibit, HELMUT JAHN: LIFE + ARCHITECTURE, the eagerly anticipated career retrospective of Helmut Jahn’s innovative architectural designs. The July 8 announcement of the new exhibit garnered global interest for the pathbreaking architect whose bold building designs can be found in virtually every major metropolis—from his adopted home of Chicago to Bangkok to Berlin to New York to Shanghai to Tokyo—buildings which are all part of Jahn’s enduring legacy. The exhibit, organized after Jahn’s death in May, includes numerous scale models of Jahn’s pathbreaking designs throughout his career and runs through October.

Legacy of Helmut Jahn – January 4, 1940 – May 8, 2021

Helmut Jahn, FAIA, has earned a reputation on the cutting edge of progressive architecture. His buildings have had a “staggering” influence on architecture according to John Zukowsky, former Associate Curator of Architecture at the Art Institute of Chicago. Jahn’s buildings have received numerous design awards and have been represented in architectural exhibitions around the world.

Born in Germany, Jahn graduated from the Technische Hochschule in Munich. He came to the United States for graduate studies in architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology. After attending IIT, he worked at C.F. Murphy Associates as a Project Architect under Gene Summers, designing the new McCormick Place. In 1976, his first major high-rise building in Chicago, Xerox Centre, received great critical acclaim.

Jahn has been called Chicago’s premier architect who has dramatically changed the face of Chicago. His national and international reputation has led to commissions across the United States, Europe, Africa, and Asia. His projects have been recognized globally for design innovation, vitality, and integrity. Featured in numerous publications, his work has generated much excitement amongst the press and general public alike.

Jahn’s work has been included in exhibits worldwide since 1980. He has taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was the Elliot Noyes Professor of Architectural Design at Harvard University and the Davenport Visiting Professor of Architectural Design at Yale University, and Thesis Professor at IIT.

Competition Calling for New, Creative Visions for State of Illinois “Thompson Center” Designed by Helmut Jahn and Now For Sale by State of Illinois

Competition seeks to give State of Illinois Center new life while preserving its architecture and public character; winning design to be announced early August

CHICAGO – The Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) and the Chicago Architectural Club have announced an architectural design competition calling for new, creative visions for the State of Illinois “Thompson” Center designed by Helmut Jahn, built in 1984 and put up for sale in May 2021 by the State of Illinois. The competition seeks to give the building new life through restorative architecture while preserving its architecture and public character.

The competition is open to anyone with a vision for the building including students, architects, designers, planners and artists. Competition registration, available through the Chicago Architecture Club website, closes on July 2 and competition submissions are due July 19. The winning design will be announced in August.

The sale and possible demolition of the Thompson Center has been controversial among architecture and design professionals in Chicago and around the world leading to the creation of The James R. Thompson Historical Society that gave public tours of the building. Despite the toll caused by lack of maintenance, Helmut Jahn’s design of the Thompson Center is prized by the design world as a unique example of post-modern architectural design in a civic building meant to draw citizens into the daily workings of government.

From the architecture competition brief:

“The Thompson Center’s design was progressive for its time. Dwelling in the vertical shadows of modern icons like Mies van der Rohe’s Daley Center, Helmut Jahn’s mid-rise Thompson Center pierced the trends of neighboring International Style and Neoclassical buildings with a revolutionary concept for a civic building, one that represents a promising future of ‘transparency and accessibility’.

“Bringing together the various services of government offices in one building, the Thompson Center is also a major transit hub and a place for gathering to enjoy art, shop, and dine. Jahn brings open space indoors with the remarkable glazed 17-story grand atrium. Known as a “people’s center” or a “people’s palace”, the building was a symbol of government accessibility, transparency, and commitment to serving the people. This was a bold departure from how government buildings used to interface with the public.“

The jury to select the winning design submission will be announced later in June 2021.

Legacy of Helmut Jahn – January 4, 1940 – May 8, 2021

Born in Germany, Jahn graduated from the Technische Hochschule in Munich. He came to the United States for graduate studies in architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology. After attending IIT, he worked at C. F. Murphy Associates as a Project Architect under Gene Summers, designing the new McCormick Place. In 1976, his first major high-rise building in Chicago, Xerox Centre, received great critical acclaim.

State of Illinois “James R. Thompson Center”

Designed by Helmut Jahn, the State of Illinois Center, also known as James R. Thompson Center, is facing the threat of complete demolition. Located in the Chicago “Loop” it is a major transportation node, commercial center, and workspace.

The building has been criticized for being ugly, oversized, inefficient, and poorly maintained. However, the Thompson Center has been pivotal to urban transit and a highly democratic contemporary civic center.

At the time of its construction in 1985, Helmut Jahn’s State of Illinois Center was a stark contrast to Chicago’s historic and modernist architecture, yet today it is an architectural icon in its own right. For the fourth year in a row, the Thompson Center has been listed in the Landmarks Illinois’ annual Most Endangered Historic Places in Illinois and it was included in Preservation Chicago’s Chicago 7 Most Endangered list in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

LIBERATION THROUGH HEARING

RICHARD RUSSELL

2 APRIL 2020 | HARDBACK, EBOOK, AUDIO | £20 | White Rabbit

A spiritual journey through music by the Mercury Prize nominated musician and the man behind some of the world’s biggest recording artists including Adele, Dizzee Rascal and The Prodigy

For almost 30 years as a musician, producer, label boss and talent conductor at XL Recordings, Richard Russell has discovered, shaped and nurtured the artists who have rewritten the musical dictionary of the 21st century, artists like The Prodigy, Adele, M.I.A., Dizzee Rascal and Giggs. Growing up in north London in thrall to the raw energy of 80s US hip hop, Russell emerged as one part of rave outfit Kicks Like A Mule in 1991 at a moment when new technology enabled a truly punk spirit on the fledgling dance scene. Initially identified in the early 90s with breakbeat and hardcore before embracing a broader musical aesthetic, Russell’s stewardship of the label was always uncompromising and open to radical influences rather than conventional business decisions.

Released in April 2020 via White Rabbit, Liberation Through Hearing sees Richard Russell telling the remarkable story of XL Recordings and their three decades on the frontline of innovation in music; the eclectic chorus of artists who came to define the label’s unique aesthetic, and Russell’s own story; his highs and lows steering the fortunes of an independent label in a rapidly changing industry, his celebrated production work with Bobby Womack and Gil Scott-Heron on their late-career masterpieces and his own development as an artist as Everything Is Recorded.

Always searching for news sounds and new truths, Liberation Through Hearing is a portrait of a man who believes in the spiritual power of music to change reality. It is also the story of a record label that refused to be categorised by genre and in the process cut an idiosyncratic groove which was often underground in feel but mainstream in impact.

RICHARD RUSSELL SAID: ‘Writing this book was an opportunity for me to reflect on the last few decades. I hope people will get something from it. I’ve tried not to compromise in anything I’ve done, and that includes writing Liberation Through Hearing.’

LEE BRACKSTONE SAID: ‘To have any understanding of the music that has soundtracked the past three decades you need to read this book. Liberation Through Hearing documents Richard Russell’s investment in the great artists who defined rap, rave and all its infinite tributaries with a piercing honesty.’

EXCERPT

PRELUDE 1

SALFORD, 17 APRIL 2019

It’s an overcast early spring afternoon. I’m in a recording studio on an industrial estate on the outskirts of Manchester. I’ve been here for an hour. It would have been hard to locate but I was collected at Manchester Piccadilly by a professional who had researched the destination and got us here easily. He used to drive Keith Flint during The Prodigy’s UK tours, and having picked me up we spent the short journey reminiscing about Keith, who passed away less than a month ago, at the age of forty-nine.

I arrive in a sombre mood. There are three musicians here. A man known as CASisDEAD has just arrived from a stopover in Nottingham. He is the most idiosyncratic, articulate and fluent British rap lyricist I have heard since Dizzee Rascal emerged from Bow E3 in 2002. CAS’s themes are typically the underbelly of street life, drug sales and sex work. In the first really classic song he has made, ‘Pat Earrings’, he tells the apparently heartfelt and melancholy story of his ill-fated relationship with a prostitute. At the conclusion of the song, he finds she has continued to see clients despite telling him she has stopped. ‘Heartbroken, I’m at wits’ end / She’s never accepted by my friends / That’s cool ’cause I never liked them’. The narrator is bereft.

As is often the case with those who make disturbing art he seems a person of integrity. Those in the public eye who go out of their way to seem benevolent, the supposedly squeaky-clean ones, are the ones to beware of. Nasty pretends to be nice, and vice versa. CAS has his face covered at all times when in public. Oscar Wilde said, ‘Give a man a mask and he’ll tell you the truth.’ CAS has a taste for the analogue synthesiser sounds of the 1980s, music that soundtracked my youth and was popular around the time he was born.

I have programmed my Roland TR-808 drum machine in order to echo the feeling of the year that the machine was first released: 1980.

This item is my favourite material possession. Its sounds and groove have been enjoying a renaissance in popularity since the James Brown samples of classic East Coast hip-hop made way for the more electronic palette that was being used by rap artists from the South. Its distinct sonic character is still a crucial part of the hip-hop production landscape.

Drums are only part of the story. In creating music for this session, I have enlisted someone who not only has the ability to craft unforgettable melodies but owns a collection of the vintage analogue synthesisers necessary to sonically execute this job properly. He sits behind one of these while his daughter Missy and his best friend Remi potter around. His name is Damon Albarn and, as frontman of Blur, mastermind behind virtual band Gorillaz and all-round musical polymath, he has scaled every imaginable height of creative and commercial success.

Damon and I are both fortunate to have benefited enough from our musical endeavours to each have our own first-class recording facilities in west London. We are in this particular location because of the third musician. We want him to record a hook for the song and this is where he wished to do it. He possesses a deep, deep soul voice that evokes not just the specific time we wish to reference, the mid-eighties, but the theme CAS wants to explore in this song, which is intended for his debut album, for release on XL Recordings.

This theme is the ephemeral nature of fame. The song is to be called ‘Everything’s For Sale’. It may become a worldwide hit. Or it may never be released, or even completed. At this formative stage of the creative process uncertainty is a given.

This third musician’s name is Alexander O’Neal, and he is a sixty-fiveyear-old former Prince associate from Natchez, Mississippi, by way of Minneapolis, where he was the original lead singer for The Time, before making three solo albums with legendarily great production and writing duo, and fellow Prince acolytes, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. These albums were quite successful in the US, but in the UK he became a huge crossover pop star, scoring Top 10 singles with his songs ‘Criticise’, ‘If You Were Here Tonight’, and his duet with Cherrelle, ‘Saturday Love’. His second album, Hearsay, went triple platinum in the UK, and he sold out three consecutive nights at Wembley Arena.

His appetites were always legendary. Along with most other eighties success stories, his star faded through the nineties. With each new decade music changes irrevocably and only a tiny number of musicians can transcend the decade they found fame in. In recent times Alexander has appeared on reality TV programmes Just the Two of Us, Wife Swap and Celebrity Big Brother.

When CAS gave me a list of the eighties voices he wished to try to feature on his album, I knew that Alexander O’Neal was the one to pursue. My guess was that we would find him in LA, perhaps living near the airport, but it turns out he lives in Manchester.

We’re here to capture the voice of this weathered soul survivor, and prior to the session he has been supplied with a map in the form of a recording, a guide version of the song that Damon, CAS and I made in London. Our preparation and planning have been exemplary and, while I have experienced enough ‘best laid plans’ scenarios to know that nothing is ever guaranteed, an hour into the session we have a heartbreakingly soulful performance from Alexander O’Neal on our hard drive. CAS says to me that it is important to absorb moments like this. I agree. I have had many of them but they always feel dreamlike. Alexander says he needs to buy a bed, inexplicably, and with that he is gone

Realize Your American Dream

‘The American Dream’, for some, conjures up images of home ownership with a white picket fence and a manicured yard in a prominent suburb. This suburban sprawl imagery has been promoted since the 1950’s and links directly with home ownership and success. The use of the term ‘American Dream’ to describe ownership with the sprawl status quo implies that one form is ideally ‘American’ - that large-lot suburbia, as the ‘American Dream’, is what all real Americans want, and that cities and small towns and rural areas are for foreigners.

But today, nearly one-third of all households in the U.S. are occupied by renters. The rate of homeownership in the US is approximately two-thirds at 64.8% (1,2), leaving 35.2% to be occupied by renters. And more and more people are fleeing suburbia in favor of the major cities. Currently about half of the population live in major cities and it is expected that two-thirds of the population will live in major cities by 2050.(3)

Let’s go beyond the white picket fence and expand this definition of ‘American Dream’ and look at it’s evolution and history.

The American Dream is the ideal that:

1. Government should protect each person's opportunity to pursue their own idea of happiness

2. This protection extends to private enterprise, allowing a free market economy

3. Economy depends on the free flow of information to function

4. It also supports free trade agreements and foreign direct investment

5. Many other nations want to replicate America's development (5)

The government protects the rights of you and every other American citizen to find your own path to economic prosperity. Unlike many other countries, you are not required to follow your father’s profession. Your destiny is not legally determined at birth by caste, religion, or gender. The law protects your right to pursue a better life.

The American Dream protects every American’s right to achieve their highest economic potential. That allows them to contribute their utmost to society. It is the belief that the best way to ensure national economic growth is to protect citizens’ right to improve their own lives.

In 1931, historian James Adams first coined ‘the American Dream’. Adams' said, ‘The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.’ Thus, the term ‘American Dream’ means not one type of house on one type of lot, but an economy open to talent, whether in dense cities, automobile filled suburbs, or small rural towns. This implies that Americans should be free to create Manhattan as well as Montana. And to own as well as to rent and prioritize following their desires.

Adams went on to say that it is not, ‘... a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.’

These conditions foster a populace united by language, political system, and values. This ‘American dream’ allows a diverse population to become a competitive advantage. U.S. companies use it to become more innovative. The nation's diverse demographics allows innovators to test niche products. This American “melting pot” generates more innovative ideas than a small, homogenous population. America’s success may also be attributed in part to having the benefits of cultural diversity.(4)

The History of the American Dream

At first, the Founding Fathers only extended the Dream to white property owners. But the idea of inalienable rights was so powerful that laws were added to extend these rights to slaves, women, and non-property owners. In this way, the American Dream changed the course of America itself.

President Abraham Lincoln granted the Dream's equal opportunity to slaves.

President Wilson supported the voting rights of women. It led to the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1918.(5)

President Johnson promoted the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That ended segregation in the schools. It protects workers from discrimination based on race; color; religion; sex, which includes pregnancy; or national origin. In 1967, he extended those rights to those over 40.(6)

President Roosevelt extended equal opportunity to homeownership by creating Fannie Mae to insure mortgages. His Economic Bill of Rights advocated the right to decent housing, to a good education, to adequate health care, and the right to earn enough to provide a decent living. Roosevelt added, ‘We have come to a clear realization of the fact...that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. ...People who are hungry, people who are out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.’ In other words, he strengthened the Dream to protect America from socialism, communism, and Nazism. FDR's Unfinished Second Bill of Rights sought to address domestic security.

President Truman built upon this idea after World War II. His "post-war social contract" included the GI Bill. It provided government-funded college degrees for returning veterans. Urban policy expert Matt Lassiter summed up Truman’s “contract” this way: ‘...if you worked hard and played by the rules, you deserved certain things. You deserved security and decent shelter and to not have to worry all the time that you might lose your house to bankruptcy.’(7)

Presidents Bush and Clinton supported the Dream of homeownership. And President Obama supported the legal benefits of the marriage contract regardless of sexual orientation.

Realize Your Own American Dream

Today, the ‘American Dream’ means different things to different people. To some it is pictured by the white picket fence and the manicured lawn while others prefer the flexibility of change and moving around. To others it is to be free of financial constraints or to have freedom of choice in their lives. To some it is to own a home in the countryside. And to others it is to rent a flat in the city. Myriad dreams for myriad people. May we support each other as we all strive to realize your own American Dream.

What is Cred? Decentralized Crypto Lending amp Borrowing Platform

What is Cred? Decentralized Crypto Lending & Borrowing Platform

If you want to gain from your crypto holdings, Cred is one of the best platforms to earn interest on tokens. Read on for our Review

If you haven’t heard of Cred, that may change in the near future.

Cred is a growing crypto-focused company that is developing a range of solutions for crypto holders, borrowers, and real-world merchants. The company has ambitious goals and has attracted some of the top talent in the digital payments industry to its team. The company started in 2018 under the name Libra Credit but has since changed its name to Cred. It is well funded and has a realistic business model that may grow quickly over the next few years. All of Cred’s activities focus on making cryptos a mainstream way to save, lend and pay, which could propel the company into a leading position in the digital payments space. The original idea that launched the company was simple: make lending and borrowing simple.

Cryptos allow people to connect globally, and address some of the inefficiencies that exist in the banking industry. If a person wants to make a loan to someone in another country, it is almost impossible to do that at a retail level in the current financial system. Earn interest on your crypto deposits. The global economy would benefit from a deeper credit market, especially if banks are removed from the equation. Cred is addressing this opportunity, and it isn’t the only area that the company is working to improve.

Cred is Making Cryptos Work

Cred is working to create solutions for everyone in the crypto ecosystem, and also make cryptos a realistic way for people to spend on everyday items. If you want to gain from your crypto holdings, Cred is one of the best platforms to earn interest on tokens. Cred also has ways for people and businesses to borrow in tokens, which may be cheaper than fiat borrowing options. Let’s have a quick look at some of the ways that Cred is taking the crypto economy mainstream.

For Crypto Holders

Most of the people that hold tokens are hoping for the price to rise. While this is likely to happen, it is also worth looking for ways to make a passive income from interest on your token reserves. Cred allows crypto holders to do just that, and it also works with an established insurance company to offer a higher level of security to its depositors. Depending on the token and amount that is on deposit with Cred, token holders can earn as much as 10% per year on their portfolio. Combined with increasing prices, this makes cryptos one of the most attractive assets in the market. While rising token prices aren’t guaranteed, the interest that a depositor receives will them to wait.

How Cred Works

For Borrowers

Access to credit is the lifeblood of any business and is also necessary for many individual purchases as well. Cred is creating ways for borrowers to access credit globally with crypto lending, and also crypto-to-fiat where regulations allow it. The net result is an entirely new source of credit, which is always good for borrowers.

For Merchants

One of the biggest things holding crypto back is their inability to be used by regular people for everyday purchases. Most people don’t know how to use Bitcoin at their local coffee shop, and it is much easier to just pull out a Visa card and pay. Cred is working to change this and has shown that it is possible in California, where its system is used by the Cannabis economy, as it has been shut out of the US banking system.

Cred Milestones

Cred just published a yearly update on their blog. In less than one year they reached profitability and signed up customers in over 190 countries and 29 US states. We also secured the California Lender’s License, added BitGo as a custody provider, and Lockton as our insurance provider.

Top Level Talent

Cred has been extremely successful in advancing its goals and attracting bright minds with lots of experience in the digital payments space. Last year the company was able to welcome talented professionals to its team, who have extensive experience in

the digital payments space.

According to Scott Thompson, who was the President of PayPal and CEO of Yahoo!: “This is one of the strongest executive teams I’ve encountered in the crypto and blockchain industry…Lu Hua, Dan Schatt and many of the individuals at Cred are former PayPal executives during my tenure. I have no doubt they will bring the same energy, commitment and results to Cred as they did at PayPal.”

Today, Thompson is an adviser to Cred, but he isn’t the only top-tier professional that is helping the company grow. Last year Maxim Rohkline joined the team as Chief Product Officer, James Alexander became the Chief Capital Officer, and Richard Oh was hired as GM

for Asia operations.

Joe Podulka, another Cred team member, had this to say about the company: “Cred is solving concrete problems for individuals, companies, and governments…Cred combines the best of blockchain and the best of traditional finance, to offer superior financial services and is insured, licensed, and compliant. It’s a pleasure to be a part of this winning team.”

Dan Wheeler is the General Counsel for Cred and a lawyer with lots of experience representing the financial industry. He was also the Chairman of the Financial Institutions Committee of

the California State Bar.

Wheeler commented:

“I’ve seen many fintech and blockchain companies come across my desk as head of Bryan Cave’s Fintech practice but Cred stood out from the pack…Cred’s unique combination of global talent, growth potential, and collaborative working relationships with regulators, politicians, investors and partners is a winning formula that led me to join this highly competent team. Cred has a highly sustainable model and I expect it will have great success in the years to come.”

Cred is Expanding Possibilities

The scope of the change that Cred is working to create is large, but its reach may easily fall within its grasp. Cred already has lending facilities in excess of $250 million USD, and it is a profitable company. It is highly unlikely that the company would be able to attract the team it has put together if its goals were unrealistic. Cred has a number of other projects, and also a token that trades as ‘LBA’. The world is ready for an integrated financial platform that leverages the inherent strengths that cryptos possess, and Cred appears to be working on how to roll out a platform that could be used by both retail-level clients and larger businesses.

New Markets on the Horizon

One of the most attractive aspects of the platform that Cred designed is the potential for it to become not only a payment platform but also an international market for credit. In many ways, the global financial system has created a situation that is easy to innovate in, as it is largely controlled by a handful of monopoly-level banks. In addition to more expensive credit, these conditions also make the cost of consumer lending artificially high. Much in the same way that modern electronics have dropped the cost (and increased the flow) of sharing information, cryptocurrencies promise to do the same thing for capital.

There are literally billions of people who do possess the electronics necessary to participate in the global crypto ecosystem, and Cred is creating the tools that will allow finance to grow across borders, and beyond the reach of entrenched interests. If you would like to learn more about Cred, check out its whitepaper by clicking right here. You can also visit its homepage here, and find contact information for the company. Cred offers a range of services, and it may be able to help you to integrate cryptos into your life or business.

Climate Policy and Technology: Synergy for a Greener Future

by Envirotech Accelerator

Fusing the power of climate policy with innovative technology possesses the potential to spearhead a paradigm shift in the battle against climate change. James Scott, founder of the Envirotech Accelerator, aptly captures this sentiment: “Only when we align political will with technological prowess can we hope to surmount the monumental challenges of climate change.”

A crucial aspect of creating synergy between policy and technology lies in the recognition that policies must be tailored to foster innovation and incentivize the adoption of cutting-edge clean technologies. Governments play a pivotal role in shaping these policies, steering the course for businesses and individuals alike (Stern, 2006).

To maximize the impact of climate policies, they should be designed to stimulate research and development in the cleantech sector. For instance, by establishing public-private partnerships, governments can offer financial support and expertise to catalyze advancements in carbon capture and storage, renewable energy, and energy efficiency technologies (Lafferty & Meadowcroft, 2009).

Complementary to research and development, policies should also promote the deployment and diffusion of clean technologies. Implementing carbon pricing mechanisms, such as carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems, can provide a market-based approach that encourages businesses to adopt low-carbon technologies, while revenue generated can be reinvested into further innovation (Stavins, 2008).

In addition, regulations and standards are essential policy tools to drive technological change. For example, fuel efficiency standards for vehicles or building codes to improve energy efficiency can foster the development and adoption of new technologies while reducing greenhouse gas emissions (Gillingham, Newell, & Palmer, 2009).

The synergy between climate policy and technology can be further fortified through international cooperation. Sharing knowledge, best practices, and lessons learned across borders can expedite the global dissemination of clean technologies and promote capacity building in developing countries. International agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, provide a platform for such cooperation, setting the stage for collective climate action.

In conclusion, the harmonious interplay of climate policy and technology offers a promising pathway towards a greener future. By crafting policies that incentivize innovation and promote the diffusion of clean technologies, we can drive the transformation required to combat climate change and safeguard our planet for generations to come.

• A little tantrum in real life seems so much bigger online. – Joanne Harris • A lot of negative words adults call the young, like ‘naive,’ ‘impulsive’ and ‘way too connected online,’ are all things we can turn into strengths to help us. – Adora Svitak • A lot of people are living their lives online in much more public ways with Facebook and Twitter. – Dan Savage • A sense of that kind of narrative movement that we experience online could have been in my mind easily, though not consciously. I do rely so much on my unconscious, the way I write my stuff the way I do. I let my unconscious work. I have better ideas that way and more interesting work. – Jennifer Egan • A smartphone links patients’ bodies and doctors’ computers, which in turn are connected to the Internet, which in turn is connected to any smartphone anywhere. The new devices could put the management of an individual’s internal organs in the hands of every hacker, online scammer, and digital vandal on Earth. – Charles C. Mann • An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in. Microsoft started with programming tools, but came out with an operating system. Oracle started doing contracts for the CIA. AOL started out as an online video gaming network. – Marc Andreessen • An online job search seems cheaper. But what HR is doing is turning away valuable candidates. They’re experiencing false negatives. That means the right person applies for the job electronically but the algorithm kicks them out so they lose that individual. – Nick Corcodilos • Angry Birds is one of the fastest-growing online products I’ve seen, growing even faster than Skype, and the company has done a brilliant job of extending it across different platforms and merchandise. – Niklas Zennstrom • Any online gamblers here? Well, Congress is looking in shutting that down.There’s going to be a massive congressional investigation of online gambling and they’re going to shut it down. And when they get done with that, they’re going to look into this North Korean thing. – David Letterman • Anything I really want I can find online. – Rachel Maddow • As each generation comes up that doesn’t have the habits for paper it’s just easier and cheaper to get your stuff online. You know, people go to what they’re used to. Certainly our generation, you know, we’ll always want to have a magazine in our hands. We like that, but millennials didn’t see the value in that necessarily. – John Buffalo Mailer • As far as what people think of me, maybe my stuff should just be put online for free downloads when I’m gone. – Henry Rollins • As Members of Congress we can now engage with our constituents via online innovations like the Huffington Post, while a small business in rural Oregon can use the Internet to find customers around the world. – Ron Wyden • As there are more online archives of improvised music, it becomes more like the daily practice of playing it. It lessens the idea of there being masterpieces of improvised music through benchmark recordings. – David Grubbs

jQuery(document).ready(function($) var data = action: 'polyxgo_products_search', type: 'Product', keywords: 'Online', orderby: 'rand', order: 'DESC', template: '1', limit: '68', columns: '4', viewall:'Shop All', ; jQuery.post(spyr_params.ajaxurl,data, function(response) var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(response); jQuery('#thelovesof_online').html(obj); jQuery('#thelovesof_online img.swiper-lazy:not(.swiper-lazy-loaded)' ).each(function () var img = jQuery(this); img.attr("src",img.data('src')); img.addClass( 'swiper-lazy-loaded' ); img.removeAttr('data-src'); ); ); ); • Back in the day, fans wrote letters to groups – you’d get them, although it could take a while. Now, artists can go online and there’s discussions about what you should and shouldn’t be doing. The minute you announce that you’re recording an album, thousands of people are telling you what that album should be. – Geddy Lee • Basically, my socialization as a child didn’t come from any schooling; it came from being in theater and meeting people online. – Felicia Day • Because there’s no accountability on line in the same way there is in real life, all of a sudden you can say like, yeah, I hate women; I want to kill women. And you can say that online, and not only will you find a place to say it, but you’ll find a place to say it where people are like, yeah, me too. – Jessica Valenti • Blood City III: The Massacre. I’d read the summary of it online, and frankly, it sounded like the directors had just decided to film my life. – James Patterson • Books are just dead words on paper and it is the readers who bring the stories alive. Previously, writers wrote a book and sent it out into the world. A couple of months after publication letters from readers might arrive. And, leaving aside the professional reviews, it is really the reader’s opinions that the writer needs. They vote for a book – and a writer – with their hard earned cash every time they go into a bookstore (or online – that’s my age showing!) and buy a book. – Michael Scott

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Calling China’s online censorship system a ‘Great Firewall’ is increasingly trendy, but misleading. All walls, being the creation of engineers, can be breached with the right tools. – Evgeny Morozov • Chess: It’s like alcohol. It’s a drug. I have to control it, or it could overwhelm me. I have a regular Monday night game at my home, and I do play a little online. – Charles Krauthammer • Collections are certainly abundant online. It’s complicated, because it’s not like these people didn’t want computers, although there was some nonchalance about it. I would sometimes ask the people I interviewed if they wished they had a computer, and in a lot of cases, it was like they couldn’t process the question. You don’t know what you don’t have, I guess. – Miranda July • Communicating online goes back to the Defense Department’s Arpanet which started in 1969. There was something called Usenet that started in 1980, and this gave people an opportunity to talk about things that people on these more official networks didn’t talk about. – Howard Rheingold • Do you guys remember that woman who disappeared a few years ago, Chandra Levy? Do you remember her? I found this fascinating. Apparently, the day she disappeared, she had gone on her computer, and the last website she ever visited was an online map of the park where her body was found. That’s true. I just hope that if I ever disappear, people don’t look for me based on the last websites I visited. – Christian Finnegan • Don’t fool yourself that you’re blogging when you’re really just putting stuff up online. – Andrew Sullivan • Every generation has a changing of the guard in media. We do the same stuff that everybody else does, but we just do it differently. We do our content online differently. We do our magazines differently. We do our TV differently. We never had anyone tell us how to do magazines, so we just developed it in a different way. – Shane Smith • Every three weeks, we bring online as much solar power as we did in all of 2008…That’s why, over the past six years, we’ve done more than ever before to combat climate change, from the way we produce energy, to the way we use it. – Barack Obama • Everyone is looking for a purpose in life. The reason we all go to the cinema, or online, is because we haven’t found a purpose yet. We are always wondering why we’re here. But I’ve learned that we have to create that purpose for ourselves. My purpose, which I finally found thanks to social media, is helping all of these people find their purpose. – Jerome Jarre • Everyone told me, “Don’t ever talk about international stuff,” and “Don’t do long-form content online,” and “Don’t get too serious in news,” and “Don’t be too heavy” – all this stuff, all the rules. But we broke the rules, and that, ironically, has led to some of our most successful stuff. – Shane Smith • Fans decide what pop culture is. We can define ourselves. Music and the presentation of art nowadays is totally in our control, with the Internet specifically. You no longer need record labels. You no longer need movie distribution companies. You can just make it and put it online, and it will distribute itself to millions of people. The borders and everything have been broken down. It really is in the hands of the people. – Laura Jane Grace • Finding information is either a software question or a question of how much information is online. – Bill Gates • For me the core principles of privacy online are transparency, choice and control. – Marissa Mayer • Going online and asking questions is the best way to learn. – Tom Felton • Having an avatar doesn’t give you an identity, and having a persona online doesn’t make you a personality either. – Marilyn Manson • Here’s a habit I never thought I’d develop: I gravitate to anything online that’s marked ‘most popular’ or ‘most e-mailed.’ And I hate myself a little bit every time I do. – Susan Orlean • I always say that the real success of Wine Library wasn’t due to the videos I posted, but to the hours I spent talking to people online afterward, making connections and building relationships. – Gary Vaynerchuk • I always thought that digital first was a simplistic notion, and I am not even sure quite what it means. It should be stories first. Let’s take the Paris story: the New York Times covered it all day, we held nothing back. Everything we learned, we published online. Then, when you approach your print deadline, you have to do two things. You have to polish those stories that are online because print is less forgiving of mistakes. Secondly, in an ideal world, you pick one thing that will feel fresh and compelling to people in the morning when they pick up the print paper. – Dean Baquet • I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, just decompress. So, I go to either my house or the hotel, or my apartment, or whatever – wherever I am, I go home and I watch TV and I sit there, with my cat, and I just watch TV or go online, check my emails. – Taylor Swift • I bet he never goes on YouTube. He’s too busy. It’s only tragic cases like you and me who are always online. – Sophie Kinsella • I binge write. I think it’s because I started seriously writing by participating in National Novel Writing Month, an online-based challenge to write 50,000 words in 30 days. – Erin Morgenstern • I did skit comedy online for many years, beginning around 2001. Around 2006 I started watching a lot of food television and got re-interested in food. I come from a very food-obsessed family. But I also wanted to do my own thing, which was the comedy. – Nadia Giosia • I dislike the phrase ‘Internet friends,’ because it implies that people you know online aren’t really your friends, that somehow the friendship is less real or meaningful to you because it happens through Skype or text messages. The measure of a friendship is not its physicality but its significance. – John Green • I do find some of the meanest, most exclusionary people are the nerds. And they rebel against other nerds! What are you doing? As much as I love nerds and the nerd movement, the nerd-on-nerd violence is really bad. A lot of times, nerds are the meanest ones online. And also, the trolling can be very extensive because they’re smart. – Chris Hardwick • I do shop online! But I’m shopping online mostly in the home categories – One Kings Lane and Gilt. At a lot of architectural websites, I buy a lot of hardware for cabinetry like hinges and things like that from England. So you know for me, I shop at Net-A-Porter, but I don’t really shop that much for clothing online. – Nate Berkus • I don’t follow anything online. I am rather slow on that side. – Christian Louboutin • I don’t know of any source for online maps showing the platform, stairs, escalators, elevators, mezzanines and other station details. – Robert James Thomson • I don’t play online games. ‘Warcraft,’ I’ve played that, but I mainly play action games. – Steven Spielberg • I don’t see the point of having 80 million people online if all they are doing in the end is talking to ghosts in the suburbs. – Umberto Eco • I don’t spend a lot of time online. My mother’s really good at picking out if she sees a really great review, and she’ll forward it to me. She’s like my little Internet filter. It’s always nice to see something going up; if I want to find something on Nathan Fillion, I do know where to look, but I’ve got a nice little delivery system in my mom. – Nathan Fillion • I don’t think a true company – one that builds sustainable value – can ever only exist online or remotely. – Margaret Heffernan • I don’t think there’s a… boundary between digital media and print media. Every magazine is doing an online version. – Bill Gates • I don’t think they’re more temperamental people now. With social media we hear a lot more about it. The nastiness you get online, there were always mean girls – always – they didn’t have such a big forum as they do now. Mean girls ought to get a life, I think. – Jacki Weaver • I don’t want to get too involved in marketing budgets, online promotions and download set-ups because it would be a bit like Gertrude Stein mapping out a TV campaign. I want to sing. I want visibility. I am essentially Al Martino, not Seymour Stein. – Steven Morrissey • I feel like my perception has changed a little because when I was posting stuff online it was an extension of my studio and then it started getting some of the attention. Now it’s like, “Oh, this is actually a place where you can make money,” but I’m not interested in competing in that space. It seems like too much to deal with. – Kalup Linzy • I find myself using music metaphors all the time, but this is too perfect, I feel like. Digital downloading is like photographs online. It’s great, they’re available, you can see lots of different work, but it’s a limited experience of the form. A book is like an album. You don’t have to have a million dollars to be able to buy it, you have to save some money, you have to buy your album, then you take it home, and you put it on your turntable. – Alec Soth • I found that being online has opened a window for me to look into other people’s lives… The greatest fear that I have is losing touch. – Queen Rania of Jordan • I hate online bullying. Those little comment boxes can brim with the most vicious, acidic, and pointless remarks. – Alexa Chung • I have a book coming out in September, for example, where the plot concerns counterfeiting, and I had to do a lot of research on that. Or on any legal matters, for example, I have to do a lot of research online. – Ed McBain • I have a little obsessive-compulsive personality. You can tell because I played online games for eight hours a day. – Felicia Day • I have always kept my personal relationships pretty private, whether it’s intimate or my family or friends – at least in videos. It’s always been something that I’ve sworn off from sharing online. – Tyler Oakley • I have given money to the Obama campaign online and now they bombard me with emails every day. Why did I do that online? Why didn’t I just walk into an office? – Anne Heche • I joined Facebook purely so I could play online Scrabble. You have eight tiles instead of seven, so you tend to have higher scores. I’m somewhere between 400 and 500. – Moby • I know there’s an online petition to have another referendum [like Brexit] but I think honestly I think if people want to go for it a little further down the line it would be a hiding for nothing. – Nigel Farage • I like BuzzFeed, and I understand the pressure that online reporters are under. But I think everyone agrees that, despite all the awesome kitten gifs, they’re still obligated to be skeptical of government officials and ask the right questions. – Michael Moore • I like to shop. That’s what I do. Online shopping; any kind of shopping. – Sloane Stephens • I listened more than I asked. There’s a lot of information online, so many Youtube videos, countless interviews with all those obvious questions that were all answered for me. I just wanted to absorb her essence. I wanted to see the details, she has such mad style. I just wanted to see – the way she communicates with her hands, these gestures, her smile, how she moves through space. – Vera Farmiga • I live, I shop almost exclusively on the Internet. I’ve bought cars on the Internet. I watch television, I do everything on it. I even watch my son online. – Tom Ford • I love knowing and learning about people around the world displaying my art online. Also, it’s how I learn about new artists that are in various parts of the world. The positive thing about Tumblr and Instagram is that they’re a fantastic platform for art lovers. I also like, when I search for my art and it says, “see also or related artists,” and I see those other artists that relate to me, at least according to the internet. I think it’s fascinating – it’s interesting to see hashtags people are using in relation to my work. It’s another tool of communication. – Mickalene Thomas • I love teaching online at my website and soon I’ll be writing a math book. I love to teach math. I just don’t have time for a full-time teaching gig. Acting is way too time-consuming. – Danica McKellar • I often find things at thrift stores and library sales that I never could have been looking for. In those cases, the research is done after the fact to figure out what, exactly, I’ve found. It’s surprising how much out there still has no online presence. – Michael Dumontier • I posted a video a day for almost two months and was hardly sleeping, but I think it really pushed me to give music everything I had in me. I knew it was a chance I couldn’t miss. The funny thing is I never saw my music video when it aired during the Super Bowl because as soon as I heard my song start I was in tears for the next 10 minutes! The most amazing thing that came out of all of this, however, was the support that had developed online. Without the people that came back day after day to vote for me, I’d be nowhere, and I really owe it all to them. – Kina Grannis • I read every fan forum and every blog, and every message board, and every chat room. I read it all. There’s nothing online that I’m not aware of. – Joe Budden • I read everything I could find: books and online. Sometimes bigger revelations came to me through finer details or something that you wouldn’t pick up just by surface reading. – Abbie Cornish • I remember a day and time when the streets indicated what was hot online, and now I think it’s starting to reverse a little bit. – Joe Budden • I saw it on the Twitter of today, on the online boards. There was a huge amount of negative reaction that’s been forgotten because the quality eventually shined through. But usually it takes people a while to see what they’ve got on their plate. And I think, with “Jessica Jones,” it’s this anomalous thing where, and because of the original property being so good, people saw it right away, which is very unusual. – Jane Espenson • I spoke to a blogger. It was election time when we were doing the movie and Hillary Clinton was still in the running. This blogger was doing a story on democratic women who were anti-Hillary. He was on the computer speaking to these women and it made me realize that you can reach a much broader audience online but on the other hand Russell’s [Crowe] character argues that you still need to get on the streets and see people face to face, and check your facts. – Rachel McAdams • I started moving into online work, and that exposed me to design and the impact it has on the flow, shape, and narrative of the story. This got me thinking that maybe this is a way of doing journalism, a way of telling stories and revealing patterns. – David Mccandless • I think anything we do – eating, walking down the street, online shopping – gives you another perspective on writing stories. – Peter Orner • I think in the end, anger and negativity from other people is all about what’s going on inside them. So I don’t really mind it. There’s a lot of it online, there’s a load of it on the roads, but I just plow on regardless. – Jeremy Vine • I think it is effective when activists work from the margins, and I think that’s the best way to go about it. And I do think that it’s increasingly being more effective with the work that’s being done online, that it is a bit more democratized, that whatever kind of activism is being done, it’s not necessarily coming from one centralized place. – Jessica Valenti • I think it’s both annoying and beneficial that there’s so much freedom online. – Rachel Maddow • 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 the way design was practiced for most of the 20th century was very declarative. A designer came up with a solution for a project and put it in place and shipped the solution and it landed in a reader or a customer’s hands as a brochure. They would see it as a poster, or as a piece of signage. And that was sort of it. That was the end of it. I think Internet technology has really upended that whole equation because in some ways a designer’s work is never really done online. – Khoi Vinh • I think, it’s so difficult to create a buzz anywhere, whether it be online, the streets, radio, anywhere, that if you are able to create a buzz somewhere, it definitely means something. – Joe Budden • I used to go online all the time, and then I had to stop myself… because I’m a writer, and it’s like: to have a procrastination tool, like, within my computer… it was just getting too hairy. – Mike White • I used to work for an NGO called Transitions Online, and I was their Director of New Media. I was a very idealistic fellow who thought that he could use blogs, social networks and new media to help promote democracy, human rights and freedom of expression. – Evgeny Morozov • I want to make sure (a user) can’t get through … an online experience without hitting a Microsoft ad. – Steve Ballmer • I wanted to make sure that this be the first scientific and technology revolution in history in which the public thoroughly discussed all the potential benefits and all the potential harms, in advance of the technology coming online and running its course. – Jeremy Rifkin • I was single for a really long time, then I realized I had abandonment issues. Then I found love online. – Patti Stanger • I waste a lot of my time documenting my “search for great esoterica” online. It gets so complicated trying to identify or give credit to all of one’s influences. – Michael Dumontier • I went online with winelibrary.com in July of 1997; that was my first professional online play. – Gary Vaynerchuk • I wouldn’t say you have an online life and a real life. I think technology is just mapping and organizing what already exists. – Ashton Kutcher • I`ve been spending a fair amount of time in the recesses of white nationalist, white supremacist social media online areas, what called itself is the “alt right”, which is sort of the euphemistic term they use for what is essentially modern day white supremacy. And they are some of [Donald]Trump – this has been reported from the beginning but they are very excited about [anti-Muslim] proposal. – Chris Hayes • If you get a chance, whenever you’re traveling, do go to the local boutique comic book shop and don’t buy your comics online ’cause those guys are going to go extinct, in a minute here, and we want to be able to have those experiences with our kids. – Nicolas Cage • If you take a strong stance and have a clear opinion or statement on any subject online, you’re going to polarize people. And without that polarity, there’s no discussion. Discussion is what I want, which means that I’m fine with the consequences. – Tim Ferriss • I’m astonished at how readily a great many people I know, young people, have accepted a reduced economic prospect and limited freedoms in any substantial sense, and basically traded them for being able to screw around online. – Jaron Lanier • I’m fond of online testimonials: people writing about their experiences with ghosts or drugs or bad boyfriends. – Michael Dumontier • I’m going to go do this crazy thing. I’m going to start this company selling books online. – Jeff Bezos • I’m not an anti-online person. I get what the modern world’s about and I understand that that’s the nature of music dissemination. – Tim Hecker • I’m not big on awareness about what’s going on online but usually if you do too much online stuff then you usually bump into something that hurts. – Alice Eve • I’m not big on to-do lists. Instead, I use e-mail and desktop folders and my online calendar. So when I walk up to my desk, I can focus on the e-mails I’ve flagged and check the folders that are monitoring particular projects and particular blogs. – Bill Gates • I’m working on a mixtape called I Made Hip-Hop Smile. It’s going to be a free online mixtape. I think it’s going to get some crazy buzz. We have a few marketing campaigns, that I think are going to make it pull through. – SonReal • In 1998, Artnet was the site that convinced me that if my writing didn’t exist online, it didn’t exist at all. It showed me criticism’s future. – Jerry Saltz • In marriage we have a duty to God, our spuses, the world, and future generations. But we are sinners. A husband and wife need to acknowledge that when the Bible speaks of fools, it is not just speaking about other people, but about them as well. Even the wisest among us has moments of folly. So God gives us spouses to serve as wise friends by praying with and for us, attending church with us, speaking truth, and providing Scripture along with good books and online classes, lectures, and sermons to nourish fruitfulness in our lives. – Mark Driscoll • In the old generation, if one kid bought a PlayStation 2 and the other kid bought an Xbox, at his house you played PlayStation, at your house you played Xbox. Now that it’s online, all those early buyers who… you want to play with, they’ve got their reputation online of who they are and how good they are at these games. – Bill Gates • In this age of omniconnectedness, words like ‘network,’ ‘community’ and even ‘friends’ no longer mean what they used to. Networks don’t exist on LinkedIn. A community is not something that happens on a blog or on Twitter. And a friend is more than someone whose online status you check. – Simon Sinek • In this age of Twitter and Snark every misstep gets posted online in twelve seconds. – Howard Kurtz • It is nonsense that people shopping online in some parts of Europe are unable to access the best deals because of where they live. I want completing the single market to be our driving mission. – David Cameron • It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor. – Steve Jobs • It was really bizarre for me to go from being a very private and obscure person and then to be in any way on the internet – like having my picture or videos online. – Erika M. Anderson • It’s everywhere, constant criticism of women’s appearance in magazines and online. It’s not easy to navigate. – Shirley Manson • It’s fun when the writers start writing jokes to you, but also it’s fun when the writers will come to you and say ‘Hey, listen, we’re working on this story and we need to know if you speak any foreign languages.’ And I said ‘No, I don’t. I speak a little Spanish, but I can learn a foreign language.’ And they go ‘Okay, do you think you can learn Portuguese?’ And I go ‘Yeah, whatever it takes. If it’s funny, I’ll do it.’ So of course I start looking online and learning Portuguese, and as it turns out, I get the script and it’s now Serbian. – David Alan Basche • It’s important to distinguish between “worry versus harm” when it came to privacy online. – Larry Page • It’s so different now coming out as a new artist today than it was when I came out almost ten years ago. Now, it’s all about singles, it’s really quick, it’s online. I came out when people sold records and they still do today but – I don’t know what the key is. – Avril Lavigne • It’s time to update traditional public schools, charter schools, home schools, online schools and parochial schools. Let the dollars follow the child instead of forcing the child to follow the dollars, so that every child has the opportunity to attain an education. – Bobby Jindal • It’s very important to have a good song – one where you can strip away all the production and just play it on guitar or at the piano. It has to hold its own. That’s why I’ve put videos online with acoustic versions of my songs, so you can hear them in their original form. – Lights • It’s very much a back and forth conversation between the fans and the writers, between the writers and the powers that be. Their opinions, especially when expressed online or via correspondence, are important and are taken into consideration. – Wentworth Miller • I’ve also worked with various producers and artists around the world, which has helped with my international recognition. We’ve sold a lot of albums online in places like Norway and France. Sometimes we track my hits online daily and we are getting regular hits from people all over the place. – SonReal • I’ve gotten so far past the Android and iPhones that I’m back to a flip-phone. It’s funny, you can buy antique flip-phones online. A lot of us collect them. Clearly, they’re considered antiques. – Tim Allen • I’ve made choices in my life to be somewhat broke to do art and I think it is going to be the same thing with online exposure. You have to be able to make the choices that can make you happy or it will make you crazy. – Erika M. Anderson • I’ve spent a lot of time in tiny venues in the way that I got my record deal and got my name out there just performing live. I was literally performing my songs in all kinds of different ways with different guitarists, and I didn’t have an album up online or anything. It’s been a lot of work; it definitely hasn’t been a sudden explosion into fame. – Florence Welch • I’ve started researching online journals for the project. Thanks for decoding Dr. Heller’s notes before sending them to me. If you’d have forwarded them to me without a translation, I’d be searching for a tall building/overpass/water tower from which to yell “goodbye cruel world. – Tammara Webber • Just as TurboTax simplified much of the tax process, so has the colossally scary legal process been reduced to a kinder, gentler series of mouse clicks and ‘Continue’ buttons by LegalZoom, the online leader that has become so prominent in its market that it’s practically a generic. – Lynda Resnick • Keep an eye on what your kids are seeing online. Parents need to stay involved in what their children are being exposed to. It’s so important. – Danica McKellar • Kenny Goldsmith from Ubuweb describes himself as an amateur archivist, and people can download files from Ubuweb – it’s not a streaming service. But it’s a miracle that it’s still online and they’re able to make it work through the donations of server space and volunteer efforts. – David Grubbs • Let me finish my music, and let me present it the way I want to present it. And then share it, put it online, do whatever you want to do after that. – Talib Kweli • Look, I don’t have a Facebook page because I have little interest in hearing myself talk about myself any further than I already do in interviews or putting any more about myself online than there already is. But if I wasn’t in this position, I’m sure I would use it every day. – Jesse Eisenberg • Luckily, there’s enough people who have recorded songs that I can just go online and kind of figure out how to play them. – Regina Spektor • Luxury is not a static concept, but it shapes and changes with society. Now somebody who might not have the time to come to one of our boutiques can shop online. – Stefano Gabbana • Make your initial contact short and sweet. Five sentences or less, or under 150 words. If someone instant messages you while you’re online, go ahead and IM them back if you want. Otherwise, wait twenty-two to twenty-three hours between email contacts for the first few messages. Don’t send messages while most people are sleeping, even if you’re wide-awake. Shoot for business hours or just after dinnertime. – Amy Webb • Massive numbers of people are going to come online from cultures we don’t normally interact with. – Jimmy Wales • Microsoft loves losing money with online services, so this should stay free forever… unless they get a new CEO who isn’t crazy about pouring billions into a hole. – Marco Arment • Military commanders do not want to be tried for war crimes, even if those crimes are committed online. – Evgeny Morozov • More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services – from movies to agriculture to national defense. – Marc Andreessen • More and more major industries are being run on software and delivered as online services—from movies to agriculture to national defense. Many of the winners are Silicon Valley-style entrepreneurial technology companies that are invading and overturning established industry structures. Over the next 10 years, I expect many more industries to be disrupted by software, with new world-beating Silicon Valley companies doing the disruption in more cases than not. – Marc Andreessen • More platform-sensitive generations will make distinctions between online and in-person intimacy, whereas fourteen-year-olds have very nuanced online selves and might embody their virtual identity in the physical, analogue version of themselves. They have a much more pluralistic understanding of the self. I don’t think we’d be here now in this amazing sexual and gender revolution without the online space where young people can see and share other versions of identity and sexuality. – Charlotte Cotton • Most of the books, music and movies ever released are not available for sale, anywhere in the world. In the brief time that P2P nets have flourished, the ad-hoc masses of the Internet have managed to put just about *everything* online. What’s more, they’ve done it far cheaper than any other archiving/revival effort ever. – Cory Doctorow • Mrs. Gautier, I hear there are places online where you can sell children for a good price. Nick is still young enough, he should fetch enough to tide you over for a bit.” – Rosa – Sherrilyn Kenyon • My goal is that we should have a rich engagement online that caters to a general and scholarly audience and that can provide a seamless experience for people, whether they are up the road or on the other side of the world. – Thomas P. Campbell • My hunch is that people often affiliate with causes online for selfish and narcissistic purposes. Sometimes, it may be as simple as trying to impress their online friends, and once you have fashioned that identity, there is very little reason to actually do anything else. – Evgeny Morozov • My laptop seems to know where I am, even if I don’t. My cellphone asks me if I want directions to anywhere from the spot I am standing in. I buy a record online and Amazon.com sends me letters, telling me that people who bought what I bought also bought these other records. – Henry Rollins • MySpace is somehow more welcoming than Facebook. And Twittering, I just… Ugh. I like having radio silence. I think radio silence is an important part of any public figure’s day. We haven’t seen it yet, but there’s going to be a generation that comes up where the new trend will be complete anonymity. It’ll be cool to have never posted anything online, commented, opened a webpage or a MySpace. I think everyone in the future is going to be allowed to be obscure for 15 minutes. You’ll have 15 minutes where no one is watching you, and then you’ll be shoved back onto your reality show. – Patton Oswalt • New content online no longer requires new stories or information, just new ways of linking things to other things. Or as the social networks might put it to you, ‘Jane is now friends with Tom.’ The connection has been made; the picture is getting more complete. – Douglas Rushkoff • New online formats gutted the newspaper-ad business. Why pore over tiny print looking for a job in the want ads when you can tap a few keywords into monster.com, then click through and apply? Why pay a steep per-character rate for a classified when you can hawk a whole garage full of used stuff on EBay or Craigslist for free? – Nathan Myhrvold • Newspapers are busily experimenting with different models. Traditionally, and I suspect in hindsight very mistakenly, online news was free. And once given free access readers felt it was their entitlement. – Malcolm Turnbull • Now everyone takes it for granted that you can look up movie reviews, track locations, and order stuff online. I wish there was a way we could take it away from people for a day so they could remember what it was like without it. – Bill Gates • Now, I’m as appreciative as the next obsessive-compulsive recovering-academic of the vast riches of material becoming available online, thanks to all those Google scanners crouched in the basements of libraries around the world, madly feeding books through their machines. I download obscure tomes onto my iPad and give thanks to the dual gods Gates and Jobs, singing hymns to all the lesser pantheon of geniuses. But there’s nothing like a book. – Laurie R. King • Oh, I think there are a lot of people who would be buying and selling online today that go up there and they get the information, but then when it comes time to type in their credit card they think twice because they’re not sure about how that might get out and what that might mean for them. – Bill Gates • Once I learned, I went online and ordered every romance novel I could find. They’re fairy tales for grown-ups. – Gena Showalter • One of the things I really like about doing work online, and the thing I like about the work I’m doing now, is that I get to meet feminists all the time and I get to read new feminists every day on the blogosphere. – Jessica Valenti • One of the unintended negative consequences of online advertising has been the loss of value in traditional classifieds. It’s simply quicker, simply easier for an end user who’s online, on a broadband connection, to look things up and to figure out what they want to buy. – Eric Schmidt • One thing we didn’t know in 1996 is that it’s very, very difficult, if not impossible, to sustain a culture with online advertising. – Howard Rheingold • Online advertising may not be much more successful than an old double-barrel, but – like a good spray of buckshot – it makes up for its lack of accuracy with sheer volume. There are 10 unique ads listed with every Gmail message in your queue, each tied to the message content. And a paying sponsor. – Douglas Rushkoff • Online communities are an expression of loneliness. – Joanne Harris • Online education is pretty special for two reasons. One is that you can get the very best lecture in the world and wherever you are, whenever you want, you can connect to that lecture. The other is this interactivity, where if you know a topic, you can kind of skip over it. Or if you’re confused about it, [the area] where you’re confused can be analyzed by software. – Bill Gates • Online gambling is very seductive and very illusory. It can seem like a really good idea. It can seem like what people told you to work hard and get ahead, but when someone shows you something and it’s too good to be true, it probably is. – Ben Affleck • Online hierarchies are inherently dynamic. The moment someone stops adding value to the community, his influence starts to wane. – Gary Hamel • Online I see people committing ‘social media suicide’ all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you’re never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don’t warrant a response. This lends more credibility by driving traffic. – Tim Ferriss • Part of creating the future is to follow this consumer. Women are working; we’ve moved the store to the desk. Now though, she’s is in the back of a cab with her iPhone or her iPad, she’s tweeting an outfit that her friend is wearing and desperately trying to find out where she got her shoes online. – Natalie Massenet • Peak hours for sending a first email through the online dating system tended to be during work (eleven A.M. to four P.M.) and then just after dinner (seven P.M. to nine P.M.). I did have a few women send me a first message after eleven P.M. Those who did had an 82 percent chance of coming from a profile that had too many words. – Amy Webb • People are different in different situations and people are different online than they are in real life. – Joel Stein • Personalization can be very useful in some contexts but very harmful in others. Searching for pizza online, it’s probably OK to keep showing the same pizza shop as your No. 1 choice. I don’t see any big political consequences out of that. – Evgeny Morozov • Point me to 50 people online who think I’m super sexy. I’ll point you to 50 more who say he’s old and looks like my dad. – Jon Hamm • Popular women use positive, optimistic language in their online profiles, not buzzwords like “future thinker”. Here are the ten most often used words I found: easy-going, love, laugh, laid-back, optimistic, outgoing, fun, down-to-earth, pleasure, adventure. – Amy Webb • Recently I danced in a video spoof of the song ‘Gangnam Style,’ and it was quickly banned across multiple Chinese online video platforms. But the story still traveled all over the world, carried in hundreds of international media reports. – Ai Weiwei • Rhage burning deep inside Uncontrollable Phury, unable to hide Trust me and I’ll let my Wrath begin This Tohrment building up within My Vischous attitude will shine through ………I’ll let my Tehrror free on you -my own zsadist quote from the black dagger brotherhood that i found online – J.R. Ward • Russian young people spend countless hours online downloading videos and having a very nice digital entertainment lifestyle, which does not necessarily turn them into the next Che Guevara. – Evgeny Morozov • San Bernardino involved two killers were actually radicalized before they started courting or dating each other online, and online as late as – as early as the end of 2013, they were talking to each other about jihad and martyrdom before they became engaged and then married and lived together in the United States. – Keith Ellison • Shopping, eating, and being with my friends. So, anytime that I am at home chillin’, I will find a way to shop online. I’m like, “If I’m not allowed out of the house tonight then I am shopping online! – Miley Cyrus • Simply getting a country’s population online is not going to trigger a revolution in critical thinking. – Evgeny Morozov • Sleephackers go to bed with sensors on their wrists and foreheads and maintain detailed electronic sleep diaries, which they often share online. To shift between sleep phases, sleephackers experiment with various diets, room and body temperatures, and kinds of pre-sleep physical exercise. – Evgeny Morozov • Social media’s currency is the single photograph. Whereas, every time I look at a photograph, I look at twenty or thirty photographs. I’m looking for a narrative. And that’s a different kind of construct. If you’re a poet and you put a line from your poem online, “The trees bending over gracefully,” or something, you can get a tick. But that has nothing to do with your longer poem. – Stuart Franklin • Some people get the wrong idea, you know. If you’re quiet and you’re just not the most gregarious person, that you’re like.. I don’t know, self-involved, rude possibly, frigid. I get that a lot from people who don’t know me, like online all you guys think I never smile, ever. It’s not true. I do smile sometimes. – Kristen Stewart • Some people say that it’s so hard with the Internet, but I know for a fact that the Internet has made it easier for someone to establish themselves. There’s so much you can do online. If you know how to use it right, the web serves as the great equalizer for someone that’s just getting into business. – Jordan Belfort • Sometimes markets err big time. Markets erred when they gave America Online the currency to buy Time Warner. They erred when they bet against George Soros and for the British pound. And they are erring right now by continuing to float along as if the most significant credit bubble history has ever seen does not exist. Opportunities are rare, and large opportunities on which one can put nearly unlimited capital to work at tremendous potential returns are even more rare. Selectively shorting the most problematic mortgage-backed securities in history today amounts to just such an opportunity. – Michael Burry • Start-ups like UniversityNow, a network of low-cost, online colleges, allows students to work at their own pace and pay a few hundred dollars a month for a degree. – Dan Rather • Team Obama continues to dominate new media, spending far more effort and money than Team Romney in targeted online youth outreach. – Jennifer Granholm • Term Life Insurance is the only insurance I recommend. It’s the least expensive way to get the coverage your family needs and allows you to lock in rates for 15, 20 or 30 years. Zander’s online quoting system will help you find the most competitive options. It’s more affordable than you think! – Dave Ramsey • The [Hillary] Clinton campaign posted a pretty clever online quiz that makes a similar point with the Republican presidential field. Who said it? Donald Trump or not Donald Trump? For example, quote, “I mean you can prove you are a Christian. You can`t prove it, then you err on the side of caution.” That was not Donald Trump. It was this guy, who strongly denounced Trump`s proposed Muslim ban but supports a religious test for refugees. – Chris Hayes • The actual process of travel I really like, because that time on planes and in airports makes me feel like I’m moving around like a ghost. There’s a certain aspect of justifiable downtime. I really feel like being online is so pervasive now. – Johnny Marr • The audience might not be the size of Facebook, but how much time can you spend online and think, ‘What did I just learn? – Chris Hughes • The best remote companies I’ve seen do almost everything online, via email and telephone. But they also get together face to face on a regular basis. – Margaret Heffernan • The best thing about the world today is that everyone is connected and you can go online and quickly find people all over the world doing incredible things. – Benjamin Stone • The biggest thing is online shopping. So that you don’t have to dress up, go down Bond Street or Rodeo or wherever, go and be intimidated by shop assistants to buy Gucci shoes or a Prada dress. You can just go online and, if it doesn’t fit you, send it back. And I think that is the biggest, biggest difference, because that means everybody can do it. – Jennifer Saunders • The decentralized nature of online conversations often makes it easier to manipulate public opinion, both domestically and globally. Regimes that once relied on centralized systems of media control can now deliver ideological messages more subtly, with the help of little-known intermediaries like anonymous commenters on websites. – Evgeny Morozov • The director of the FBI has been visiting Silicon Valley companies asking them to build back doors so that it can spy on what is being said online. The Department of Commerce is going after piracy. At home, the American government wants anything but Internet freedom. – Evgeny Morozov • The easiest way to figure out who the customer is in an online space is to figure out who is paying for the thing. Usually, the people paying are the customers. So on Facebook, the people paying are marketers. That makes them the customers. And it means we are the product being delivered to those customers. – Douglas Rushkoff • The first thing I do every morning is go online to check the surf. If the waves are good, I’ll go surf. The beach is 10 minutes away. – Marisa Miller • The future of narrative? Built in, part of the human template. Not going away. The future of the codex book, with pages and so forth? A platform for transmitting narratives. There are others. The scroll is coming back (Twitter is a scroll.) Short forms are returning online. Interactivity is coming back; it was always there in oral storytelling. Each form has its pluses and its minuses. – Margaret Atwood • The grand prize was $10,000, then there was a people’s choice award where people could vote online. – Pamela Geller • The idea that a musician can submit music online for the chance to have it promoted to a nationwide audience is the American dream come true, and a major step toward democratizing how music is discovered. – Ali Partovi • The Internet … is an amazing communications tool that’s bringing the whole world together. I mean, you sit down to sign on to America Online in your hometown, and it’s just staggering to think that at the same moment, halfway around the world, in China, someone you’ve never met is sitting at their computer, hearing the exact same busy signal that you’re hearing. – Dennis Miller • The Internet has changed everything. People will be discovered online. People buy music online. It’s a completely different way to get entertainment. – Bette Midler • The internet has opened the door for millions of businesses to do things differently, because there are other assets now, assets that can transcend location. Your permission to talk to customers, your reputation, your unique products-you can build a business around them online. – Seth Godin • The Internet is the new public space. And because women are out in public, people don’t like that in much the same way that if you’re walking down the street you get harassed. I think the same kind of thing happens online, and I think that’s why a lot of women are hesitant to put their voice out there. – Jessica Valenti • The Mail Online is like carbs – you know you shouldn’t but you do. Probably two or three times a day. – Lily Allen • The Metropolitan Museum has all of our collections online, all our scholarly publications and catalogues since 1965. We have online features like the timeline of art history. – Thomas P. Campbell • The profitable part of the online business is very likely several years away. Entering the business because it’s the hot topic of the day doesn’t make a profitable business nor satisfied customers. That’s why it will be a part of Nintendo’s strategy, not the mainstay, as other companies are attempting to do. There still are too many barriers for any company to greatly depend on it. – Satoru Iwata • The recent arrest of Younis Tsouli in the United Kingdom was no doubt a significant victory in the war against online terrorism. Tsouli was one of a very select few individuals who have successfully used the Internet as a means to network and share resources with a host of Al-Qaida-linked terrorist organizations. – Evan Kohlmann • The Simpsons and Futurama are such big projects, going on for years and working in different media, that everything involved with them, promotion and merchandise and online presence and all the rest, deserve to be scrutinized, so that’s part of it. I have a great deal of sympathy for anyone at the core of a multimedia juggernaut, even if you might not care for the specific pop-culture invasion of your brain. The people who do it work really hard. – Matt Groening • The smartest thing I did was to stop going online. I’m the sort of person who will just look for the negative – Michael really can’t understand it, but that’s just the way I am. And with my bipolar thing, that’s poison. So I just stopped. Cold turkey. And it’s so liberating. – Catherine Zeta-Jones • The survey of more than 100 waterways downstream from treatment plants and animal feedlots in 30 states found minute amounts of dozens of antibiotics, hormones, pain relievers, cough suppressants, disinfectants and other products. It is not known whether they are harmful to plants, animals or people. The findings were released yesterday on the Web site of the United States Geological Survey, which conducted the research, and in an online journal, Environmental Science and Technology. – Andrew Revkin • The thing about online gambling is that it’s never away, it’s always accessible. And so, if you have an issue with gambling, it’s designed to take advantage of that. – Ben Affleck • The White House New Media team circulates multiple highlights each day of what people are looking for online – Twitter trending topics, popular Google searches, etc. – and it gives us a sense of what’s breaking through, what isn’t, and a sanity check for what the larger online population cares about at any given time. – Daniel Pfeiffer • The worst thing about the internet, as far as Greg’s bosses were concerned, was that it was now impossible to distinguish a roomful of people working diligently from a roomful of people taking the What-Kind-of-Dog-Am-I? online personality quiz – Rainbow Rowell • There are online forms you can fill out to send to your lawmakers, demanding that nothing – nothing at all or in any way – be done about any guns whatever, anywhere. – Dick Cavett • There is evil prowling in the world – it shows up in our movies, video games and online fascinations, and finds its way into vulnerable hearts and minds. – Rick Perry • There was a clown that tried to eat me as a boy, in my nightmares. Years later I found a clown for booking online who resembled him named Patches. Needless to say, Patches is dead now. – Thom Yorke • There will be a few people who will resent the fact you have to be online to play a single-player game. But it’ll change. – Tim Willits • There’s a lot of controversy online, some people say i’m a genius and other say i’m hugely talented. – Andy Kindler • There’s always a tricky issue when you get into stolen material or pornography. The laws for online publishing the same as for print-based publishing, where if you’re hosting certain types of things and somebody notifies you about that. – Bill Gates • There’s nothing that beats proving you’re funny by making a funny thing, and right now there are huge outlets for that, with You Tube and all the other stuff online. – Louis C. K. • There’s tons of junk food for your mind on the Internet. You can sit there for three or 10 or 20 hours a day getting in online arguments with other people who also choose to waste their time. – Henry Rollins • Things have a behavior online, whereas in print, there is a single canonical expression for them, but online everything responds to different criteria or has inherent states to it based on that criteria. So, you have to design that in a different way. It’s a completely different dynamic even though it may look similar. – Khoi Vinh • Today Monopoly added a new game piece: the cat. The new piece was chosen after weeks of online voting. Is that a surprise? Whenever there’s a vote for something on the Internet, the cat always wins. – Craig Ferguson • Virtual Reality is really a new communication platform. By feeling truly present, you can share unbounded spaces and experiences with the people in your life. Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures. – Mark Zuckerberg • Washington wants ObamaCare, the people want freedom. Washington wants amnesty, the people want rule of law. Washington wants power over the internet, the people want freedom online. – Ted Cruz • We [me and Jennifer Salke] talked about the characters and different kinds of families and where are we today. We certainly pitched the gay couple, but we also talked about what it was like to be a single mother with a young daughter, what is it like to be a woman in your 50’s who is completely starting over and dating again and having to go online to date again. We talked about the whole spectrum of the characters, but I don’t think it ever came up about whether people are ready for it or not. – Ryan T. Murphy • We all have a suspicion and hope that we’ve just been part of something special, something that may eventually change our lives. That no one else knows this makes it seem like we are living with a secret that we would like to share, but can’t, sort of like having a superpower that’s not come online or being president elect. For the moment, our lives proceed as usual, but within a month, we think, everything will change. It’s a frustrating, if exciting, disconnect. – Rob Lowe • We are living our lives more online and you need to have different ways to capture that. – Nate Silver • We disagree with the assertion that great teachers can be replaced by online alternatives. The futuristic claim that technology will triumph over teachers ignores all the social and relational dimensions of teaching and learning. – Andy Hargreaves • We in CNN have 27 reporters out in the field – from Alaska to Florida, and everywhere in between. 29 if you count the White House and the Hill. We are in every key state, in every key district and on the ground where key issues are playing out. Political campaigns’ success is all about the ground game and CNN feels the same way about election coverage. Expect to see original reporting from all our remote locations all night long. On air and online. – Andrew Morse • We need more filmmakers of color telling the story. I’d like to see more filmmakers take their products out independently, put together a good commercial film and distribute it online. – Will Packer • We need more transparency and accountability in government so that people know how their money is being spent. That means putting budgets online, putting legislation online. – Carly Fiorina • We need transparency in government spending. We need to put each government expenditure online so every Floridian can see where their tax money is being spent. – Marco Rubio • We seem to live in a world where forgetting and oblivion are an industry in themselves and very, very few people are remotely interested or aware of their own recent history, much less their neighbors’. I tend to think we are what we remember, what we know. The less we remember, the less we know about ourselves, the less we are. (Interview with Three Monkeys Online, October 2008) – Carlos Ruiz Zafon • We should differentiate between criminals who make violent threats online, and trolls who are just arseholes – Bonnie Greer • We went online to surrogacy agencies. We interviewed lots of people – and I have to say, with all due respect, some of them were freaks. I was very leery of the process the whole way through. – Christopher Meloni • We’re at a point in time in our history of humanity where the systems we use for mass production have to be reevaluated, and it first struck me that online communities are a way to have local production with a universal reach. – Mary Mattingly • What’s always struck me is how different the sensory, especially auditory, experience is when you’re in the middle of the music with the musicians playing off each other around you. I wanted to find a way to unlock the intensity of that, to recreate that unique perspective, first for the hundreds of people who attended the concert, and eventually for a much larger online audience. – Chris Milk • When I first started writing for television in the seventies and eighties, the Internet didn’t exist, and we didn’t need to worry about foreign websites illegally distributing the latest TV shows and blockbuster movies online. – Al Franken • When it became easy enough to do dairy online, then I just thought, “Oh, I’ll start doing this. I’ll put the parts online that aren’t going to get me in trouble. I’ll save the rest for myself.” It became also this kind of self-therapy. I could write about stuff that was bothering me, or personal stuff. And the very personal stuff I could edit out. But it was kind of the catharsis of getting it out and writing about it, that made me think, “Okay, I see why people do this, why they keep these diaries.” So I thought, “Well, let’s see what happens when I post some of it.” – David Byrne • When it comes to people who are saying really extreme things online, we have the tendency to think that they are just kooks, or that you shouldn’t pay attention to them, you shouldn’t take them seriously. – Jessica Valenti • When something online is free, you’re not the customer, you’re the product. – Jonathan Zittrain • When we started OD2 in 1999, we were really expecting to work more with independents and so on because the major labels were spending millions on their own Pressplay and equivalents online, which haven’t been very successful. – Peter Gabriel • When you think about email or IMing, why aren’t you writing back? I can see your avatar, I know you’re online, why aren’t you writing me back? But with Twitter, everybody sends their responses to Twitter, and Twitter then sends them out to everyone. So there’s not this constant connection. You can be hyperconnected, then you can take a break for a couple days and it’s fine. – Biz Stone • When you’re doing stuff online, you should behave as if you’re doing it in public – because increasingly, it is. – Jon Kleinberg • Who are the executives, and what are the stories that are being released? Not just in movie theaters but online. When you watch Master of None, you’re like, yes, this is real life to me. These are refreshing types of stories. – Daniel Radcliffe • Why the confidential advisor provision is so important, because most women – the first place they go is online: “What do I do if I’m raped?” There’s no knowledge about “How do I proceed?” in a way that’s going to protect them. – Kirsten Gillibrand • With any video you see online, like with YouTube, you gotta watch an ad, and that’s gotta stop. And I think it’ll stop by…the shitty network shows they put out will just have the ads in the shows. The characters will be eating Cheetos or whatever. – Derek Waters • With lower start-up costs and a vastly expanded market for online services, the result is a global economy that for the first time will be fully digitally wired – the dream of every cyber-visionary of the early 1990s, finally delivered, a full generation later – Marc Andreessen • With the development of the web everything is instantaneous. Everything is about how quick you can get it. So with online gambling you don’t have to travel to Vegas, Atlantic City, or anywhere in the world to gamble. – Brad Furman • Yes, e-commerce is a strange situation for an old guy like me. You can buy a TV online, OK, but to buy a dress or shoes? Ugh. The customer has to go back to the store and breathe and smell and have a good time. Because shopping is a good time – like going to a nice restaurant. – Max Azria • Yes. It is true. I, Michael Scott, am signing up with an online dating service. Thousands of people have done it, and I am going to do it. I need a username, and I have a great one. ‘Little Kid Lover.’ That way people will know exactly where my priorities are at. – Steve Carell • You buy a new iPhone, a few months later, another new iPhone comes out, and you get online to buy another one. You can’t get enough. You are addicted to Apple. – J. B. Smoove • You could spend every waking moment online and still only experience one-trillionth of what’s out there. I find that a little overwhelming. – Moby • You know, it’s not a given that there is an ‘online’ and ‘offline’ world out there. When you use the telephone, you don’t say that I’m entering some ‘telephono-sphere.’ You don’t say that, and there is no obvious need to say that when you are using a modem. – Evgeny Morozov • You put a group of people in that come from a variety of backgrounds and who are out there in the world with different opinions and different ways of expressing themselves online. It’s hard to say. – Allison Grodner • You thought you could figure that out online? Somehow I don’t think hellions are much into social networking. – Rachel Vincent
