John P. Kotter Quotes

Science extends an invitation to all nations.

Today's China is not in the least shut out from the rest of the world. Trends come to us from all over the world. And the Internet is really developed in China. We get news from all over the world.

Humankind is getting more and more connected.

Greater technological connectivity makes the world wider, and the walls of isolation - thinner.

Over the last few years, the world has become a smaller and more integrated place with technology that is leveling the playing field like never before.

The 21st century is significantly different from the 20th century. The old models will not hold anymore. More and more, we are one people on Earth. We need to share our problems.

The world is moving ahead to become more integrated and connected, where movement of goods and people is becoming easier with each passing day.

Never in history has distance meant less.

The inventions and the great discoveries have opened up whole continents to reciprocal communication and interchange, provided we are willing.

People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives, have more knowledge, more information. All this is the result of communications technology. How is any of that bad?

Neighbor is no longer confined to the vocabulary of the individual. It is a national word. Modern inventions have annihilated distance. Commercial relations have broken down barriers of race and religion, and the family of nations is a recognized fact.

The speed of light does not merely transform the world. It becomes the world. Globalization is the speed of light.

Take, therefore, what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally. That, in my view, gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.

The world has become more complex as technology and easy travel mixes cultures without homogenizing them.

In a world being transformed by technology, good science is vital to good diplomacy.

We have collapsed distances, taken down walls, and spread information.

The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village.

As the world of chips and glass fibers and wireless waves goes, so goes the rest of the world

Globalization is the speed of light.

Please, join the modern world.

I think technology can change every country regardless of political party.

Before, there was a culture that said Mumbai is separate, Telugu films should be separate. Now, everyone is working together. It's cool.

Globalization cannot take shape without the speed of light.

In theory, the Internet should bring us all closer together and slowly eliminate our differences.

While some doubted that connecting the world was actually important, we were building. While others doubted that this would be sustainable, you were forming lasting connections. We just cared more about connecting the world than anyone else. And we still do today.
