“I know that for every connection I make online, there is a connection I lose in the real world.”
“The Apple Launch is a closed circle of fawning sycophants, thrilled with gimmicks, adapted to computers, programmed, a throng of identical authentic individuals chained to their machines and congratulating themselves on being ‘connected,’ led by a human that resembles a robot.”

“Obvious to you. Amazing to others.”
“The main responsibility of city planning and design should be to develop — insofar as public policy and action can do so — cities that are congenial places for [a] great range of unofficial plans, ideas and opportunities to flourish,”

“Complexity isn’t the reason why Netflix doesn’t allow offline viewing. It’s just their excuse for not having it yet. It’s right out of the Steve Jobs handbook: something you don’t offer is a terrible idea, until you offer it yourself, at which point you explain why your solution is the first to get it right.”

“…Would you rather do something extraordinary that benefits the lives of millions of people? Or be liked by several hundred? And does it have to be an either-or question?
The answer, like [Steve] Jobs, is complicated.”

“First, prepare yourself to gain experience by submitting to the disciplines of education.
Second, work in the service of the most worthy cause for which your skills are qualified.
Third, with whatever compensation comes your way, build the resources to undertake what seems doable to you alone (in the garage, attic, etc.).
Fourth, when you have actually accomplished something, show it to someone whose work you admire, and ask for an opinion.
Fifth, repeat steps one through four until you have accomplished enough to ask for production assistance (not money).
Sixth, now get back to work and define your role in the community. If you achieve this, then you have a shot at recognition by people who don’t already know you.”

“Digital natives were concerned about what they could do with technology. Now data natives want to know what technology can do for them.”
“…It’s an interesting quagmire. Traditionally, new technology has expanded people’s notion of what’s possible. Now the crowd is already dreaming of products no one knows how to build yet.”
“…Giving people recommendations to interact with and learning from their choices is one of the clearest examples. The more recommendations you serve, the smarter you can get by recording and reacting to people’s preferences. This is why 35% of Amazon’s revenue comes from recommendations — and why 75% of Netflix content is consumed based on recommendations.”
