Today we're focused on small acquisitions to add technology where necessary. I think it's fair to say we're not out looking for a large one but I think it's also very fair to say that as a public company you can never say never.

My goal for technology has always been to reach a point where the technological mediation becomes invisible.

We're in a time now where technology is such that we can create anything and that's what's new about television and film these days.

We can close the gap and improve what happens in the classroom by using educational technology that is the same high quality everywhere.

I love technology. We can be our own DJs wherever we go.

Because I do think - not just in building AOL - but just the world in which we live is a very confusing rapidly changing world where technology has accelerated.

In my mind I needed a symbol of today's technology and I realized that what I wanted to photograph was the Space Shuttle. And so that's where Places of Power came into being.

We've been co-evolving with our technology for a hundred thousand years. Human beings and the technology we make were always inseparable. We're finally coming into this moment where it's coming inside our body for the first time in history.

Aereo is the first potentially transformative technology that has the chance to give people access to broadcast television delivered over the Internet to any device large or small they desire. No wires no new boxes or remotes portable everywhere there's an Internet connection in the world - truly a revolutionary product.

Well clearly Apple is a role model of the American innovation whereby it produced all these products - iPod iPhone iPad - that are really now dominating all the technology arena in the world.

I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s where there wasn't texting social media iPhones or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology.

Technology is us. There is no separation. It's a pure expression of human creative will. It doesn't exist anywhere else in the universe. I'm rather sure of that.

Advances in the technology of telecommunications have proved an unambiguous threat to totalitarian regimes everywhere.

Disco is the first technology music. And what I mean is that 'disco' music is named after discs because when technology grew to where they didn't need a band in the clubs the DJ played it on a disc.

As a teacher myself I've been in situations where parents come at you and sometimes parents come across like the teacher doesn't want the best for their kid and it can be really really hurtful.

I had an art teacher who's the reason I got there in high school who encouraged me to go to Alabama. That's where she had gone and kept raving over their art department.

I had a teacher in art school who said something about the only works he really enjoyed seeing or found much in were works where he had a sense that a discovery was made in the course of making this object. I like to hold to that as my marching orders.

My name is James Edward Franco. Ted is a nickname for Edward. That's what my parents called me. I also got 'Teddy Ruxpin' a lot. It just got to a point where I got sick of it so when a teacher called out 'James Franco' my junior year of high school I didn't correct her.

When I was a teacher teachers would come into my classroom and admire my desk on which lay nothing whatever whereas theirs were heaped with papers and books.

I used to write things for friends. There was this girl I had a crush on and she had a teacher she didn't like at school. I had a real crush on her so almost every day I would write her a little short story where she would kill him in a different way.

I can remember exactly where I sat when my teacher first read Roald Dahl's 'James and the Giant Peach'.

A teacher affects eternity he can never tell where his influence stops.

Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary.

None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent a teacher an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots.
