The advent of the modern web is nothing short of a revolution on the scale of moveable type. Digital Everything takes brief look at how things have changed, and the revolution yet to come.
44. Anything
born is normal and ordinary and is just a
natural part of the way the world works.
Anything that's invented between when
fifteen and thirty-five is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can
probably get a career in it.
Anything invented after you're thirty-five
is against the natural order of things Douglas Adams
The salmon of doubt

46. They’re dumber than we were at their age
They’re screenagers […]losing their social skills
and they have no time for sports
They’re violent
They’re bullying their friends online
They have no work ethic
47. They prize freedom and freedom of choice
They want to customize things, make them their own
natural collaborators,
who enjoy a conversation, not a lecture
scrutinize you and your organization
They insist on integrity
They want to have fun, even at work and at school
Speed is normal
innovation is part of life
56. The web is more a
social creation than a
technical one. I
designed it for social
effect to help people
work together and
not as a technical toy.
