  • Reading is an unnatural act; we are no more evolved to read books than we are to use computers.

Now it's our turn to figure out what response we need to shape our use of digital tools.
  • There is no easy way to get through a media revolution of this magnitude; the task before us now is to experiment with new ways of using a medium that is social, ubiquitous and cheap, a medium that changes the landscape by distributing freedom of the press and freedom of assembly as widely as freedom of speech.
