Innovation accelerates and compounds.
Marc Andreessen
Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better.
Marc Andreessen
I know where I'm putting my money.
Marc Andreessen
My goal is not to fail fast. My goal is to succeed over the long run. They are not the same thing.
Marc Andreessen
In short, software is eating the world
Marc Andreessen
Technology is like water it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers, it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.
Marc Andreessen
Where I grew up, we had the three TV networks, maybe two radio stations, no cable TV. We still had a long-distance party line in our neighborhood, so you could listen to all your neighbors' phone calls. We had a very small public library, and the nearest bookstore was an hour away.

One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes... but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes - and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.
Marc Andreessen
When I talk to entrepreneurs today, I feel like the grandfather who was in the Civil War.
Marc Andreessen
Newspapers with declining circulations can complain all they want about their readers and even say they have no taste. But you will still go out of business over time. A newspaper is not a public trust - it has a business model that either works or it doesn't.
Marc Andreessen
It was a joke, okay? If we thought it would actually be used, we wouldn't have written it!
Marc Andreessen
If the Net becomes the center of the universe, which is what seems to be happening, then the dizzying array of machines that will be plugged into it will virtually guarantee that the specifics of which chip and which operating system you've got will be irrelevant.
Marc Andreessen
Only two people have been on the cover of Time Magazine in bare feet. I'm one, the other is Gandhi.
Marc Andreessen
In the next 10 years, I expect at least five billion people worldwide to own smartphones, giving every individual with such a phone instant access to the full power of the Internet, every moment of every day.
Marc Andreessen
Whatever you're selling, storage or networking or security, you're going head to head with the incumbent players.
Marc Andreessen
We have never lived in a time with the opportunity to put a computer in the pocket of 5 billion people.
Marc Andreessen
There is the opportunity to do more and better if you're smaller and more nimble.
Marc Andreessen
Qualified software engineers, managers, marketers and salespeople in Silicon Valley can rack up dozens of high-paying, high-upside job offers any time they want, while national unemployment and underemployment is sky high
Marc Andreessen
There's always more demands than there's time to meet them, so it's constantly a matter of trying to balance them
Marc Andreessen
When you're dealing with machines or anything that you build, it either works or it doesn't, no matter how good of a salesman you are.
