“ Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got… an Internet sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday . Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially.

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.

Famous quotes containing the words partial, text, stevens and/or comments:

    “America is hard to see.
    Less partial witnesses than he
    In book on book have testified
    They could not see it from outside....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Great speeches have always had great soundbites. The problem now is that the young technicians who put together speeches are paying attention only to the soundbite, not to the text as a whole, not realizing that all great soundbites happen by accident, which is to say, all great soundbites are yielded up inevitably, as part of the natural expression of the text. They are part of the tapestry, they aren’t a little flower somebody sewed on.”
    —Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    “the human

    Revery is a solitude in which
    We compose these propositions, torn by dreams,”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments upon it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
