Tweetable Quotes

"Even today, if you ask people what's the internet, they're going to say Google or a website. But there's more to it. I mean, Zoom isn't Google, right? The phone calls aren't Google, like there's a lot of things that are going on on the internet."

"I think the era of, I'm going to go to school and I'm going to get a job, and I'm going to have that job for life is over. We have to redefine ourselves every five or ten years and get a whole new skill set, because technology is advancing in a rapid way and it's not something you can just set for your life anymore."

"The 2000s is where we really ruined our privacy and it's going to take us decades to put that back together. Even when you trust a company like your healthcare provider, and then they have a data breach and now China knows everything about your health records, it's like why is this even a thing?"
