Falling in love in high school and falling out of love – it’s very digital. I’ve had breakups where they’ve called me to tell me we were done, and I’ve gotten a lot of text messages from an old girlfriend letting me know how she felt about me after we had ended everything.
We see ourselves as the world’s digital library. That can be a lot more than books. We do want to expand to other types of content: sheet music, magazines, user-generated content.
Cory Doctorow should be too busy for lunch. He’s co-editor of, and a prolific contributor to, one of the most influential blogs in the world, Boing Boing.

Digital India is about empowering the citizen – it’s mobile, it’s cloud, it’s storage – we are in all those areas.
I think that the future of currency is digital, and Bitcoin has a good shot at being the currency of the future.
New technologies and approaches are merging the physical, digital, and biological worlds in ways that will fundamentally transform humankind. The extent to which that transformation is positive will depend on how we navigate the risks and opportunities that arise along the way.

I am extremely passionate about digital media and as a longtime user and fan of Yahoo!
When digital culture first came along, it was supposed to create more time, by allowing us to shift time around. Somehow instead we’ve strapped devices to ourselves that ping us all the time.
I think your behavior is different when you work on digital or film. It seems that… I feel most focused if I’m working on film.
Writing on a computer makes saving what’s been written too easy. Pretentious lead sentences are kept, not tossed. Instead of sitting surrounded by crumpled paper, the computerized writer has his mistakes neatly stored in digital memory.
In the digital age of ‘overnight’ success stories such as Facebook, the hard slog is easily overlooked.
Flash turns up the optical volume so that whatever lies behind the lens – be it film or a digital sensor – is a little more receptive.
Illegal downloading, digital cheating, and cutting and pasting other people’s stuff may be easy, but that doesn’t make those activities right.
I always have traveled with a camera throughout my life, but I always had my old 35mm film camera. When I was training to go into space, the only equipment there was a digital camera. I went through a fast-track class on Earth. It actually was fun, though I’m basically a dinosaur with computers.
The film industry is moving towards digital technology.
I know I’m not everyone’s taste and that’s fine, and that is the beauty of digital and radio that you can find what you want to listen to.

I’m interested in ways that digital interfaces can be utilized as powerful narrative devices, and to engage people in new and exciting ways.
What really turns me on about technology is not just the ability to get more songs on MP3 players. The revolution – this revolution – is much bigger than that. I hope, I believe. What turns me on about the digital age, what excites me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing.
I bristle a little when the argument for film gets put into the nostalgia ghetto. Film is still the highest quality and best-looking image capture medium available. I don’t think it always will be. The digital image will get better, and it will eventually surpass the quality of the film image, but it isn’t there yet.
There’s things that you just couldn’t do with an optical printer. Now, with digital compositing, most of the energy that goes into a shot goes into the aesthetic issues of, ‘Is it a good shot or not?’
There are no easy answers for the balance of how you protect the core business of the books with what the digital future will look like, but that would be our job with DC Comics, to figure that out and experiment and take some risks while always protecting the core business.
I’m a believer. I’m one of the few standing before you today from a large financial services company that has not given up on digital currencies.
What we see is that we actually have digital channels through which the customers interact, but we also take the absolute brick channels, which is the branch, and convert that experience into a more digitised experience.
As someone who started in the digital background, it’s an easier, better, faster platform to bounce off of. You already have so much momentum, and you already have the experience. You’re already comfortable being in front of the camera.
The key to digital effects is to do things that are visually accurate but done cheaply and approximated.
If we get to a world of digital securities, then there isn’t a need for DTC and Cede & Co. anymore. It’s a really huge step in returning to clean capital markets.
I have 1.4 million followers on Twitter. I get very interesting, sometimes very diverse input from my followers. So it’s sort of like this water cooler, digital water cooler, if you want to think about it, where you go and you listen to conversations that are happening that perhaps will shape your thinking.
No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don’t think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do.
Historically, privacy was almost implicit, because it was hard to find and gather information. But in the digital world, whether it’s digital cameras or satellites or just what you click on, we need to have more explicit rules – not just for governments but for private companies.
Jobs are changing. Jobs will be about the blending of the digital and industrial capabilities.
The digital world is so convenient and nice, but just playing back a vinyl record is a much warmer, hotter, more present feeling.
My main camera is a Nikon D3. I use a French camera from the 1800s for wet plate photography, I use a Hasselblad sometimes. But to me the camera really doesn’t matter that much. I don’t have a preference for film or digital.
I think fiat currencies will become digital.
The best value for money in cooking equipment, in my mind, is first a digital scale and digital thermometer. They’re both about $20. They help you cook so much more accurately that they’re both enormously valuable.

Most of us have embraced digital technology, and depend on it more and more in our daily lives, both at home and at work.
Tell me a musician who’s got rich off digital sales. Apple’s doing pretty good though, right?
Social media has created a digital latticework, but it has also, for some, created abusive commenters, silos, and validation rather than curiosity.
The Obama administration, like those before it, promotes a disturbingly narrow interpretation of the Fourth Amendment, misapplying the facts of old analog cases to a radically different digital world.
Love cannot be defined, caught, cast in stone, or archived. It’s something we have no control over. Love is completely analog. Love can never be digital.
Most new jobs created by global digital opportunities make people more independent. Fewer people will work for one company at a time or in the same country all the time. More will work remotely across borders.
I have equal parts film and digital cameras in my collection. I think that there are ways to Photoshop photos so that they look like you shot them on film, but is that as rewarding? It just depends on the person.
Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.
Bitcoin and digital currency is just this thing that was always going to happen.
The same way we can send and receive an email with anyone, anywhere, for free, or we can share a photo with anyone instantly for free, money will become these digital tokens, and we’ll be able to do that with money.
