"Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet, and they won't bother you for weeks."--Anonymous i-Quote is a smart little book of entertaining and thought-provoking quotations about the Internet and the World Wide Web. It spans the overblown predictions and woefully wrong prognostications of the early days and takes us up through prescient comments from today's bloggers and podcasters. The book is one part humor, one part history--it's full of banter, riffs, and one-liners that will surprise and amuse us while reminding us of how far we've come in such a short time. Quotes from Bill Gates, Al Gore, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Douglas Adams and Scott Adams, Chris Anderson, Rupert Murdoch, and even Gertrude Stein are here, along with scores more. An extensive who's who at the back of the book identifies all the high-tech luminaries and cultural commentators quoted. "Twenty years from now, we'll look back and say this was the embryonic period. The Web is only going to get more revolutionary."--Tim Berners-Lee on Web 3.0Green, David L. is the author of 'Iquote Soundbytes from the Internet Revolution', published 2007 under ISBN 9781599211503 and ISBN 1599211505.
