I Think The Support Of The Other

But The Idea That Some Day People Would Want To Be Able To Interact And Get Stock Quotes And Talk With Other People Or All These Different Things, I Just Believed That Was Going To Happen

Today, National Geographic Has A Membership Side With A Magazine And Some Television Side, And They Generate About A Billion Dollars In Revenue, And They're Profitable. And So At The End Of The Year They Have Some Bottom Line Profit Which They Can Then Reinvest, Because They're Running It As A Not-for-profit In Charitable Endeavors.

When I First Got Started In The Late '70s, Early '80s, And First Was Thinking About The Interactive World, I Believed So Fervently That It Was The Next Big Thing, I Thought It Would Happen Quickly.

Think About This: It Was Illegal For Most People To Connect To The Internet Before 1992.

I Think The More You Have A Generalist Perspective, I Think Sometimes The More You Can Kind Of See Through The Forest And The Trees. And When It Gets A Little Bit Cloudy, You Know, Have Some Sense Of, "well, Maybe This Might Happen Or Maybe That Might Happen." So I Really Am A Big Believer In Liberal Arts Education. I Think It's Better - Particularly In These Kind Of Uncertain Times - To Know A Little Bit About A Lot Of Things As Opposed To Being Expert In One Thing.
