“…the utopian ideal that everyone will be connected and that will make us better has turned into the burden of knowing other people’s horrid thoughts, all the time.” - Mike Monello
“…this generation can generate riotously exuberant, subversive, politicized networked communities who 'stand no s***s' & 'give no f***s.’” - Siobhan O'Flynn
“The whole world has turned into trash TV.” - Jeff Gomez
“I think we really, for real now, need to think about the audience as part of the content creation process. “ - Louisa Heinrich
“I am struck by the beginning of a trend against technology in general. It seems that the need for real life events and experiences is coming back big time.” - Michel Reilhac
“No longer is there an omniscient storyteller shaping the story for maximum dramatic and emotional effect. Instead, the viewer/user/viewser controls the flow of the story, and with VR, even where s/he looks.” - Nick DeMartino
