Communication Quote by Steve Wozniak

“All of a sudden, we've lost a lot of control. We can't turn off our internet; we can't turn off our smartphones; we can't turn off our computers. You used to ask a smart person a question. Now, who do you ask? It starts with g-o, and it's not God. [ CNN interview (December 8, 2010)]” quote by Steve Wozniak
