Quote
1
[observation, August 2016] By now, it's obvious to everyone with open eyes that Donald Trump is an ignorant, wildly dishonest, erratic, immature, bullying egomaniac. On the other hand, he's a terrible person.
2
[observation, 1998] The growth of the Internet will slow dramatically [as it] becomes apparent that most people have nothing to say to each other. By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's... Ten years from now the phrase information economy will sound silly.
