Once you understand that everybody's going to get connected, a lot of things follow from that. If everybody gets the Internet, they end up with a browser, so they look at web pages - but they can also leave comments, create web pages. They can even host their own server! So not only is everybody consuming, they can also produce.
Marc Andreessen
If I want to get work done, that's usually about 3 in the morning.
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
