Quote of the Day

Had the opportunity this morning to see Thomas Friedman, author of “The World is Flat,” do the opening keynote of the day here at the Campus of the Future conference.

The book was written in a somewhat pessimistic tone, jaded on the future of America in relation to China (and India for the matter). But, today, he ended by reflecting on his last year after having written the book jaunting around the country talking with people, and seeing the kinds of innovation and passion abound:
“My grandmother always told me: never cede a century to a country that censors Google.”
