I was an early adopter of everything from Myspace to Twitter, and I think they're just fads, like CB radio.
MySpace is somehow more welcoming than Facebook. And Twittering, I just... Ugh. I like having radio silence. I think radio silence is an important part of any public figure's day. We haven't seen it yet, but there's going to be a generation that comes up where the new trend will be complete anonymity. It'll be cool to have never posted anything online, commented, opened a webpage or a MySpace. I think everyone in the future is going to be allowed to be obscure for 15 minutes. You'll have 15 minutes where no one is watching you, and then you'll be shoved back onto your reality show.
I started with CB radio, ham radio, and eventually went into computers. And I was just fascinated with it. And back then, when I was in school, computer hacking was encouraged. It was an encouraged activity. In fact, I remember one of the projects my teacher gave me was writing a log-in simulator.
Like with MySpace and everything, my dad didn't even know what that was. And then all of a sudden, Twitter came around and he was taking pictures of my new tattoos and posting them and I was like, what's going on? I've never seen this happen before!
I was an early adopter: have been on the internet continuously since late 1989, barring a six-month loss of access in the early 90s.
So all I really seen my whole life is just Myspace and Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and YouTube.
I think it's necessary for VR to start with an early adopter audience that's highly engaged, and I think that means gamers. They're the ones who have the high-end hardware and the expertise and the patience to sort through the uncertainty of it all.
I consider us to be one of the first Internet-based bands, especially because we basically started our entire band via the Internet. Before MySpace Music even existed, we had a band MySpace page. We were one of the first fifty bands on PureVolume(.com), and we really built everything from the Internet. That's how we started talking to record labels, that's how we booked our first tours. Without the Internet social networking, like Twitter, we definitely wouldn't be where we are today. It is a huge part of the band.
I played Winnie the Pooh in first grade. I was an early adopter of standing in front of people and looking like an idiot.
My father ran a CB radio business. I grew up in a cluttered space that was filled with radios and antennas. It felt alien.
I think Twitter is a fabulous tool. Crowd-sourcing by Twitter is useful in getting early warnings.
Like, radio is closer to a Tumblr, or a blog, or Twitter, than it is to television, I think.
I'm interested in the innovator and the early adopter.
I have always had stuff on the internet, way back in the Myspace days, I had a lot of friends on Myspace. And it is just all about like networking - contacting people and showing people, like, your mind.

Our customer base is not necessarily a leader, an early adopter.
I'm not an early adopter of technology unless I consider it absolutely indispensable.
