Something Will Eventually Replace The Internet. But

About Half My Work In Education Is U.s. Political Reform Around School Districts And Charter Schools, And Creating More Room For Entrepreneurial Organizations To Develop. And About Half On Technology, Which I Look At As A Global Platform.

Technological Revolutions Are Very Hard To Predict. My Favourite Example Is Someone In 1850 Taking Care Of Horses As A Farrier. They Would Have Said, "look, Horses Have Been Part Of Human Existence For 5,000 Years. We Are Horse People. It's Permanent." But All Of A Sudden, The Internal Combustion Engine Comes Along And, With It, Oil Fields And Automobiles, Which Basically Replace The Horse Completely. So We Often Have These Long Periods Of Stability And Then A Sudden Inflection Point.

But As An Entrepreneur You Have To Feel Like You Can Jump Out Of An Aeroplane Because You're Confident That You'll Catch A Bird Flying By. It's An Act Of Stupidity, And Most Entrepreneurs Go Splat Because The Bird Doesn't Come By, But A Few Times It Does.

I've Worked Very Hard, But My Life's Always Been Fun.
