Quotation of the Day for February 21, 2015



"Whenever I'm shown something, like Google Glass - I put it on, and somewhat got an idea of what it did. The first thing I did was imagining what it would look like in the display cabinet beside the cash register in a thrift shop - I try to imagine how they'll look in ten years time. It's a very good exercise for putting it in perspective. In a charity shop you'll find all the once-new technology, gathering dust as all things do. And it's not as though the stuff in the charity shop didn't radically change the world, at some point."
