Can Anyone Beat Google?
All the momentum right now is on social networking in real time. I'm not sure a company has ever grown this fast. I think, in fact, if you look at what Google has done to Microsoft's business, there's a chance that Facebook might end up doing something like that to Google.
Information Technology
A hundred years out, one of two things is going to happen: either we're going to nuke ourselves into the Stone Age, or we're going to perfect virtual reality, like Second Life. I mean, imagine we can just plug in and be anything we want to be and do anything we want to do. We'll never unplug.
Future Fears
I'm worried about privacy — the companies out there gathering data on us, the stuff we do on Twitter, the publicly scrapeable stuff on Facebook. It's amazing how much data there is out there on us. I'm worried that it can be abused and will be abused.
