The document discusses several quotes and ideas related to technology and its impact. It notes that getting information from the internet is like drinking from a fire hydrant. It also includes quotes that Microsoft's operating systems are crappy, new electronic inventions have disrupted Hollywood, and that people serious about software should make their own hardware. The conclusion recommends aggregating network effects, disintermediating social relationships, innovating methodologies, and planting seeds in the first hour.

2. “ Getting information off
the Internet is like
taking a drink from a
fire hydrant. ”
—Mitchell Kapor

3. Look closely at your surroundings
· Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy
operating systems.
· It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet
made have lightened the day's toil of any human being.
· Remember when we had those crucially important
mobile phone numbers in our phone's memory or on the
SIM card only?
· The best way to observe these in action is to consider
the rhetoric of an 'information guru' or 'a technology
evangelist.

4. Seize opportunity by the beard, for it is bald behind.
Benchmark revolutionary communities

5. Allow the quiet voice to decide
· We need to grease the wheels," "we need to crank up
the engagement," and "we need to dig deeper.
· For creators, this may be derived in many ways other
than with cash payments.
· But watch a live mass-media event with Twitter open on
your laptop and you'll see that the futurists had it wrong.
· But it must be noted that the cultural condition of such a
space is limited by the human ability to conceive its
complexity, as R.

6. “ The 'Net is a waste of
time, and that's exactly
what's right about it. ”
—William Gibson

7. Wait until it is night before saying it has been a fine
day.
· New electronic inventions were unleashed setting off the
largest tectonic shift Hollywood has ever known.
· Decentralize your distribution efforts, syndicate as wide
as possible.
· People who are really serious about software should
make their own hardware.
· Here every individual is defined alongside a whole
bunch of other individuals creating a matrix of social
relationships.

8. In conclusion
· Aggregate efficient network effects
· Disintermediate social folksonomies
· Innovate holistic methodologies
· and remember: The seeds of the day are best planted in
the first hour.
