The digital world is not just a better way to do the old things; it's a whole new way to do things that couldn't be done before.

The computer is an extension of man's intellect.

The better we get at augmenting human intellect, the faster we can solve the world's problems.

We are talking about augmenting human intellect, not replacing it.

The future of computing is not about bigger, faster machines, but about how we use them to extend our capabilities.

If you can't measure it, you can't improve it.

The most important thing is to keep asking 'why?'

Our goal is to boost mankind's collective IQ.

The real revolution will be in how we interact with information.

The mouse was just a small step in a much larger vision.

We need to think about how to make computers truly useful for human beings.

The future is about collaborative intelligence.

Don't just automate; augment.

The computer is a tool for thought.

We need to build systems that help us think better, not just faster.

The real power of the computer lies in its ability to connect people and ideas.

Innovation is not just about new technologies, but about new ways of working.

The goal is to empower individuals and groups to solve complex problems.

We are still in the early stages of understanding the potential of computers.

The ultimate goal is to make human beings more effective.
