If one is very, very blessed, there will appear two or three teachers who will completely change our view of the world and point us towards undiscovered continents of understanding and wisdom. So, I've been especially blessed.
Esther Dyson, through her writings and conferences, taught me more about information technology that I could have imagined. But more than just that, she taught me how to think. And even more than that, Ms. Dyson taught me how to think about thinking.
On this day in 1951, Ms. Dyson was born in Zurich and this small corner of the world has never been the same. So I will join my voice with Juan and Alice and wish Ms. Dyson a very happy birthday and wish her many, many more.
Thanks for everything.
