“We’re connected to each other in ways that are very hard to understand and anticipate. But we are using these connections to strengthen the world in ways we can get excited about. We can strengthen the invisible ties that hold us and bind us together. The unique things that make humanity move forward are now present right before us. What’s interesting is there is this whole category of people who complain that this new generation of people who grew up living in front of screens, always connected to something, are giving up something of life. I think they are completely wrong. The story of humans is connectivity. Verbal, and now with computers, and it is the construction of all that, that this connection is a blessing. It is that platform that will create the great set of new wealth in the world and all the new opportunities for us.” - Eric Schmidt
