I Think We Really Made A Mistake

I Joined The Board Of The Santa Fe Institute.

And The Russians Certainly Don't Have It. If A Woman Shows Up In A Fur Coat, I Just Assume She's A Crook. And That's Me, The Nice American. The Assumption That You Can't Make Money Honestly Is A Killer.

There's Almost No Way Of Doing Importing Honestly, Because If You Do You're At Such A Disadvantage Competitively. So People Spend Huge Amounts Of Effort Getting Around Stupid Laws And Not Paying Taxes.

The Internet Is An Incredible Business Tool. First Of All, The Internet/the Cell Phone - The Cell Phone Is Just Another Way To Get At It - I Think Is Having A Huge Impact In Africa Most Particularly, Where It Enables People - Suddenly, They Know Crop Prices. They Can Communicate. It Makes Their Lives More Efficient.

Internet Becoming Accessible Everywhere, Whether It Was Wi-fi At Work, On Your Cell Phone As You Traveled. People Had It At Home With Broadband. There Was A Big Change.it Used To Be People Used The Internet Primarily At Work, Because That's Where They Had A Good Connection. Now They're Using It At Home. And The Second Big Change Is, They Used It Not Just To Get Information, But To Communicate With One Another. And, So, It Became Not Simply An Information Exchange, But A Personal Exchange, A Communication Mechanism.
