Citas

I get most of my news updates from electronic and social media.

If we marry educational technology with quality, enriching content, that's a circle of win.

There would be no Star Trek unless there were transporter malfunctions.

As long as we are engaged in storytelling that moves the culture forward, it doesn't matter what format it is.

Because storytelling, and visual storytelling, was put in the hands of everybody, and we have all now become storytellers.

I have always been a fan of 'Star Trek.' I love Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future.

We had to figure out how to produce books in a cost-effective way.

This wired generation is kind of cool.

It is no longer appropriate for me as an American to sit by and expect my government to get it done.

I fly my geek flag proudly. Absolutely.

Reading a hard copy book, and reading a book on an iPad are slightly different experiences. What they both have in common though is that you must engage your imagination in the process.

Yeah. I do. I think that we have to continue to expand the areas in which we want our kids to be literate. And social media's going to be a part of their lives. And why not? Why not give them a sense of what the rules of the road are?

And it's here and it's ready and we can really revolutionize the way we educate our children with tablet computers, and I'm committed to doing whatever I can to speaking to whomever I can to send this signal - to pound this message home. Now is the time.

We can't afford to sacrifice another generation of American children to bureaucratic politics. We've got to get it done. The future, the health, the life - our nation depends on it and it's just foolish to think or act otherwise.

It's definitely true that there are a lot of the devices we used on 'Star Trek,' that came out the imagination of the writers, and the creators that are actually in the world today.

I'm excited to see how current and future technologies revolutionize the way we learn.

The unvarnished truth is that we have spent the last decade funding the machinery of war, and our children have been sacrificed.

I've always been interested in gadgets and technology and I've always been a reader.

We want a book to be a book. We'll have all the interactive bells and whistles but our intent is to engage young people in reading, not to show them a movie.

I'm enormously proud of the fact that Star Trek has really not just sparked an interest, but encouraged, a few generations of people to go into the sciences.

It's not about division. It's not about politics. My concern is how do we come together?

We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy, so engaging for kids.

All literature is political.

I genuinely believe we have an opportunity to revolutionize how we educate our children.

We all wish we lived in a perfect world. And if we could make it that way, we would. But the world is not perfect. Sometimes bad things do happen, and occasionally, the world can be a scary place to be. But when we have each other, kindness, generosity of the human spirit and love will always triumph. And then we can get through even the toughest of times.

It's sometimes really difficult to meet your heroes because you expect certain things of them. We sometimes expect for our heroes to not be human. We expect for them to be above the frailties of humanity and, of course, none of us are.
