My jaw has been wired and rewired. It’s incredible to think people would fake that.
Now it’s hard to pick up any copy of ‘Wired’ that doesn’t mention YouTube.
There was a ‘Wired’ cover that had a big Apple logo with a crown of barbed wire as thorns, and underneath it just said, ‘Pray.’ I remember this because of how upsetting it was. Basically saying either it’s going to just go out of business or be bought.
Inexpensive phones and pay-as-you go services are already spreading mobile phone technology to many parts of that world that never had a wired infrastructure.
I think it’s in our nature to try to get beyond that next horizon. I think that when we, as a species, are scratching that itch, we’re actually following an evolutionary compulsion that is wired into us. I think good things come of it.
All men are wired to be in control of what’s going on in their life.
Like most animals, we’re wired to associate height with power.
Some players can just act like ‘whatever’ off the field and then play amazing. Not many, but some. I just wasn’t wired like that.
Succeeding in network prime time has gotten tougher. Every day, several thousand homes are wired for cable, and more people are buying videodisks and video cassettes. That all represents competition.
I’m not super-polite or civil – I try to be civil, but I’m not into Seattle’s niceties, and I’m not hugely wired into Seattle’s natural beauty.
Intelligence officers are a peculiar lot. Whether they are active or retired, their brains are wired for a completely different way of seeing the world around them.
I think it’s the way I’m wired, the way I’m built. I want to improve. If you’re not improving, someone’s passing.
Our brains are wired such that it’s difficult to take action until we feel at least some level of this emotional state. In fact, performance peaks under the heightened activation that comes with moderate levels of stress. As long as the stress isn’t prolonged, it’s harmless.
Soul development depends on attachment and bonding. Every brain and body is genetically wired to develop itself, but the full soul development of brain and body depends on each child receiving the care of between two and five completely bonded caregivers.
In 2013, when Google announced that Kansas City would be the first city in the country to have Google Fiber, I bought a house in the first neighborhood that was being wired up with Google’s gigabit Internet.
If you had asked me, did I have everything nailed down and wired about what I wanted to do, and was I following some real plan? No. In fact, by the time I was in my mid-20s or even late-20s, and I was still in the law firm, I really was starting to get a little nervous that I didn’t know what I was going to do.
People are wired for lots of things. We’re wired for novelty. We’re wired for humor. We’re wired for new pieces of information that surprise us in some way or add value to our lives. We’re wired for fear.
I think one of the best jobs in the universe must be being the editor of ‘The New Yorker’, but there are a number of magazines that I’d be excited to be the editor of. They would be ‘Wired’, ‘The New Yorker’ and probably, ‘Vogue’.
