Speaker For The Diodes - May 9th, 2010

05:24 am - QotD

From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-05-06:

"So I tell her all this stuff, and I think, 'Okay, we"re going to have a conversation about authority or social construction or whatever.' That wasn"t her question. She heard this story and she shook her head and said, 'Where do people find the time?' That was her question. And I just kind of snapped. And I said, 'No one who works in TV gets to ask that question. You know where the time comes from. It comes from the cognitive surplus you"ve been masking for 50 years.'" -- Clay Shirky, in Gin, Television, and Social Surplus
