Advances in technology and the Internet have dramatically changed the way we communicate, live, and work.
Technology and the Internet have created a new set of relationships. It's changed the social fabric of promotion: advertising, dating.

Experience has shown us that attempts to control the Internet will invariably fail.

To fully absorb the lessons of the Internet, urge the Internet-centrists, we need to reshape our political and social institutions in its image.
I think the Internet is a key driver of opening up opportunities, which impacts many things, including development - I will repeat that I am not a fan of looking at technology or the Internet in Africa through the lens of development - we love the Internet for sake of the Internet.
The notion of the Internet as a force of political and social revolution is not a new one.
