Campaigns often make standing on principle the highest of virtues – and listening to your opponents a sure sign of weakness. It’s the virtual opposite of what it takes to succeed in office. Squaring the circle takes a powerful combination of skills. But presidents who can campaign and compromise are generally the most successful. Dee Dee Myers
The world cannot live without the Arctic; it affects every living thing on Earth and acts as a virtual thermostat, reflecting sunlight and cooling the planet. Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
Education is the gateway to the American Dream. But today our immigration laws make higher education – a virtual requirement for financial security – out of reach for more than one million undocumented students. Wendy Kopp
With virtual reality, I’m not interested in the novelty factor. I’m interested in the foundations for a medium that could be more powerful than cinema, than theatre, than literature, than any other medium we’ve had before to connect one human being to another. Chris Milk
It is quite interesting that whilst there are tremendous theories, in the 1960s when IT was born, everybody was supposedly going to their cottage in the countryside to work in a virtual way. Richard Rogers
It turns out that the killer application for virtual reality is other human beings. Build a world that people want to inhabit, and the inhabitants will come. Charles Stross
Virtual currency, where it’s called a bitcoin vs. a U.S. dollar, that’s going to be stopped. No government will ever support a virtual currency that goes around borders and doesn’t have the same controls. It’s not going to happen. Jamie Dimon
People are texting and smash into the car in front of them – I think there is some humor in that. And the virtual games. People are playing these virtual games, but they’re real – I mean, the people are really playing, but it’s not a game. Joe Walsh
Be careful about virtual relationships with artificially intelligent pieces of software. Larry Ellison
In virtual reality, we’re placing the viewer inside a moment or a story… made possible by sound and visual technology that’s actually tricking the brain into believing it’s somewhere else. Chris Milk

Cyber terrorism could also become more attractive as the real and virtual worlds become more closely coupled, with automobiles, appliances, and other devices attached to the Internet. Dorothy Denning
I plan less and less. It’s a great benefit of writing lots, that you get good at holding long narratives in your head like a virtual space. Jonathan Lethem
What the computer in virtual reality enables us to do is to recalibrate ourselves so that we can start seeing those pieces of information that are invisible to us but have become important for us to understand. Douglas Adams
Empty space is a boiling, bubbling brew of virtual particles that pop in and out of existence in a time scale so short that you can’t even measure them. Lawrence M. Krauss
We have artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D-printing, robotics and nanotechnology that have changed the face of modern medicine.

How do you keep war accountable to the American people when war becomes invisible and virtual? Michael Ignatieff
I know how addictive videogames are – I have friends who can’t get up off the couch because they’re so hooked. They provide these different virtual worlds that you can live in. Olga Kurylenko
Virtual reality and augmented reality will change the way we shop. Michio Kaku
In the developed world, we are surrounded by electronics – from the computers on our desks to the smart phones in our pockets to the thermostats in our homes to our data in the virtual cloud. Joe Kaeser
In landlocked developing countries, geographical barriers to markets are unnecessarily accompanied by virtual ones: their e-connectivity rates are among the world’s lowest. Arancha Gonzalez
As a massively multiplayer online RPG, ‘The Old Republic’ has no single-player components; you cooperate with and compete against other people in a virtual, persistently online recreation of the ‘Star Wars’ universe. Jason Schreier
The virtual is opposed not to the real but to the actual. The virtual is fully real in so far as it is virtual. Gilles Deleuze
The IRS issued guidance for virtual currencies on March 25, 2014 that stated virtual currencies, including Bitcoin, are to be treated as property for federal tax purposes. This requires capital gains on virtual currencies to be recorded and reported. The Bitcoin Foundation says this could lead to unrealistic reporting. Perianne Boring
It connects humans to other humans in a profound way that I’ve never seen before in any other form of media. And it can change people’s perception of each other. And that’s how I think virtual reality has the potential to actually change the world. Chris Milk
The whole idea behind virtual integration is that it lets you meet customers’ needs faster and more efficiently than any other model. With vertical integration, you can be an efficient producer – as long as the world isn’t changing very much. Michael Dell
It is a virtual reflex for governments to plead security concerns when they undertake any controversial action, often as a pretext for something else. Noam Chomsky
You need virtual reality to understand high level science or high level math. It’s very helpful to explain third and fourth dimensional things that people are constantly addressing in quantum physics. But, as soon as you’re creating an avatar, and you can live and you can start to feel sensations on VR, that has gone too far. Jaden Smith
These sites have torn down the geographical divide that once prevented long distance social relationships from forming, allowing instant communication and connections to take place and a virtual second life to take hold for its users. Mike Fitzpatrick
Neural implants could accomplish things no external interface could: Virtual and augmented reality with all five senses; augmentation of human memory, attention, and learning speed; even multi-sense telepathy – sharing what we see, hear, touch, and even perhaps what we think and feel with others. Ramez Naam
You can hold your Bitcoin in Ripple. We want to be agnostic to any currency, whether that be a virtual currency, political currencies, or peer-to-peer currencies. Chris Larsen
At its very core, virtual reality is about being freed from the limitations of actual reality. Carrying your virtual reality with you, and being able to jump into it whenever and wherever you want, qualitatively changes the experience for the better. Experiencing mobile VR is like when you first tried a decent desktop VR experience. John Carmack
Films I’ve really liked are when you’ve walked out and you’re still in that movie for a while. That’s virtual reality for me, to go into a theatre, especially with the use of sound – a subconscious thing that’s underestimated. I remember seeing ‘Blue Velvet’ when I was 15, and half the audience walking out, but I thought my life had changed. Lynne Ramsay
Telephones are a virtual necessity – not a luxury – and the revenues collected by this tax flow into the general fund. But this once temporary tax remains and costs American taxpayers, our small businesses and families almost $6 billion dollars a year. Mike Fitzpatrick
I really believe that the virtual world mirrors the physical world. Marissa Mayer
Parents no longer believe that a one-size-fits-all model of learning meets the needs of every child. And they know other options exist, whether magnet, virtual, charter, home, faith-based, or any other combination. Betsy DeVos

Bitcoin has been described as a decentralized, peer-to-peer virtual currency that is used like money – it can be exchanged for traditional currencies such as the U.S. dollar or used to purchase goods or services, usually online. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin operates without central authority or banks and is not backed by any government. Perianne Boring
The park achieved a kind of reality. Like these virtual reality games the children are playing with. I told them we were doing this 40 years ago! Disneyland is virtual reality. John Hench
Bridging the virtual world with the physical word is really when social media channels come to life and the magic happens. Because whoever coined the term ‘social media’ didn’t do us any favors. It’s not really media. It’s more like the telephone, less like the TV. Amy Jo Martin
I wanted to have virtual memory, at least as it’s coupled with file systems. Ken Thompson
After I retired, it seemed to me that there was a whole new world out there, which was a digital world driven by a marketplace, basically, which had a huge potential driven by handheld devices, which would one day become the virtual retail store of India. Ratan Tata
You put on this set of goggles, and within seconds, your brain is convinced you’re now in a different, virtual environment. You’re somewhere else, and that somewhere else may be a video game, it may be in a real-time movie, a museum exhibit, or a medical surgical training app. Brendan Iribe
I’m certainly not opposed to digital technology, whose graces I daily enjoy and rely on in so many ways. But I worry about our virtual blinders. Diane Ackerman

Friction and misunderstandings often occur when communicating across generations. It gets even more challenging when working across virtual settings. Raymond Arroyo
I said a long time ago that Foursquare can make cities better. You have these augmented realities like Foursquare and Twitter and Facebook that provide these virtual nodes and instant feedback from anywhere, adding annotation around a physical places. Jack Dorsey
Any virtual community that works, works because people put in some time. Howard Rheingold
The thing is, there are so many different ways to make music these days with virtual instruments, software applications, physical instruments, and computer programs. Mike Shinoda
News is virtual now. It is not 24-hour news cycles; it is instant news cycles. It is live. News is live all the time, around the clock. Mark McKinnon
People say it’s a Ponzi scheme, it’s a bubble. People really don’t want to take it seriously. At some point, that narrative will shift to ‘virtual currencies are here to stay.’ Cameron Winklevoss
They’re now turning those seeds into intellectual property, so they have a virtual lock on the seeds upon which we all depend for our food and survival. Jeremy Rifkin

We’re extremely excited to see more than 500,000 friends around the globe be added within the first 12 hours of launching Friends on Poptropica. The reaction has been extremely positive from fans, and we’re proud to bring a completely safe friends offering to kids on our virtual world. Jeff Kinney
Argentina is in a virtual, hidden default. Alberto Fernandez
Virtual reality is the ‘ultimate empathy machine.’ These experiences are more than documentaries. They’re opportunities to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. Chris Milk
I see the tool set being the same and maybe doing virtual movies and that’s fine for some stories but not for others. And maybe make all CG movies but they are already doing it. Dennis Muren

Just as we teach our children how to ride a bike, we need to teach them how to navigate social media and make the right moves that will help them. The physical world is similar to the virtual world in many cases. It’s about being aware. We can prevent many debacles if we’re educated. Amy Jo Martin
Our compulsive hunger always to know first, speak first and decide first has only been amplified by the fact that we can now all participate instantly in a virtual version of a national cocktail-party conversation on Twitter, Facebook and blogs. John Podhoretz
Some people need a targeted kind of learning. They need a different approach, like charter schools. There are virtual classrooms that some will do well in. The reality is, if there are no options, if there is just one particular standard, then someone is going to fall through the cracks, as we’ve seen. Martin Luther King III
I think a lot of people have an idea of virtual reality from science fiction, books and movies that have been out over the last couple of decades. Brendan Iribe
I use Mac. Not because it’s more secure than everything else – because it is actually less secure than Windows – but I use it because it is still under the radar. People who write malicious code want the greatest return on their investment, so they target Windows systems. I still work with Windows in virtual machines. Kevin Mitnick
Videogames are indeed design: They’re sophisticated virtual machines that echo the mechanical systems inside cars. John Maeda
I think people don’t realise that running a piece of code that verifies some conditions for a financial transaction, that by itself is a lot less work than verifying a cryptographic signature, and so even if the virtual machine is inefficient, the cryptographic signature is still going to dominate. Vitalik Buterin
Credit or debit cards, for starters, are nothing short of shoppers’ Novocain. Even in the age of digital purchases and virtual money, we still attach a special value to dirty paper with pictures of presidents on it. Handing some of that to a cashier simply hurts more than handing over a little sliver of plastic. Jeffrey Kluger
One thing that I notice that is changing, you don’t see kids on Sunday. Most of them are home. The kids are having much more virtual childhoods instead of childhoods. They don’t play ball or hang out with the wrong people or get in fistfights, all the things that once made childhood. I don’t know how it’s going to turn out. Pete Hamill
For me, the virtual choir has taught me that, if anything, the Internet builds these post-national tribes, people finding each other anyway they can. Eric Whitacre
In advertising, not to be different is virtual suicide. Thornton Wilder
So I think that, yes, anything that makes it more palatable and easier to understand, such as a Virtual Centre, has to be seen as a primary activity within the educational and information global state. Richard Rogers
As CEO of Accenture, I am not French anymore. When I’m in India, I am Indian. We are a company with no physical headquarters. We operate on a virtual level.

Game-playing is more fun when it’s virtual because you’re more successful. … in reality, only one person gets to be LeBron. Larry Ellison
In 1853, American warships bullied Japan out of centuries of virtual isolation and into the modern world. The threat of force compelled Japan, like India and China before it, to accept trade agreements that were economically ruinous and eroded national sovereignty. Pankaj Mishra
Java the language is almost irrelevant. It’s the design of the Java Virtual Machine. And I’ve seen compilers for ML, compilers for Scheme, compilers for Ada, and they all work. Not many people use them, but it doesn’t matter: they all work. James Gosling
I like live audiences, with real people – virtual reality is no substitute. Hillary Clinton
I find it interesting to see people – mostly people who are younger than I am – going to considerable trouble to try to reproduce things from an era that was far more physical, from a less virtual day. William Gibson
I started looking at small companies that were running a sort of virtual reality cottage industry: I had imagined that I would just put on a helmet and be somewhere else – that’s your dream of what it’s going to be. Thomas Dolby
When I was growing up, my house was filled with books. My mother was an educator, and my father was a history buff, so our home was a virtual library, covering every author from Beverly Cleary to James Michener. Jeff Kinney
I’m convinced that the main reason we’ve become so obsessed with restaurants is due to our basic need to get out of virtual space and into a real one. We’re not going out to eat merely to share food; we’re there to sit at the same table together, slow down, breathe the same air. Ruth Reichl
Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world. Steven Pinker
Beyond ensuring that people everywhere have access to mental health, virtual digital assistants can act as learning companions, using their insight into what motivates and inspires you, to help you study and learn. In this way, AI could be used to level the playing field in education and help narrow socio-economic gaps around the world. Rana el Kaliouby
There is no sadder tale in the annals of architecture than the virtual disappearance of the defining architectural form of the Modern Movement – publicly sponsored housing. Martin Filler
At the same time, one of the things I noticed was that the moment there was any kind of audio attached to virtual reality, it really improved the experience, even though the audio didn’t feel like a sound engineer or composer had been anywhere near it. Thomas Dolby
Language for me narrates the pictures in my mind. When I work on designing livestock equipment I can test run that equipment in my head like 3-D virtual reality. In fact, when I was in college I used to think that everybody was able to do that. Temple Grandin
Ease of navigation is important in both physical and virtual space. John Quelch
The virtual choir would never replace live music or a real choir, but the same sort of focus and intent and esprit de corps is evident in both, and at the end of the day it seems to me a genuine artistic expression. Eric Whitacre
Nanotechnology has been moving a little faster than I expected, virtual reality a little slower. Nick Bostrom
We live in a time of astounding technological advancements. There are deep-sea drones and live-streaming virtual reality. Jenna Wortham
We need to re-create boundaries. When you carry a digital gadget that creates a virtual link to the office, you need to create a virtual boundary that didn’t exist before. Daniel Goleman
I’ve always enjoyed film, but I’m a little afraid of it because I think it is very powerful as a medium. You have the visuals, the sound, the colors, all of these things coming at you, and they transport you physically so it becomes this surround sound, virtual reality. Mickalene Thomas
Before the Internet, before BBSes and Fidonet and Usenet and LiveJournal and blogs and Facebook and Twitter, before the World Wide Web and hot-and-cold-online-everything, science fiction fandom had a long-lived, robust, well-debugged technology of social networking and virtual community. Patrick Nielsen Hayden
