Luca Cordero di Montezemolo Quotes


I am a person that when I go in the street, everybody knows me and goes: 'Oh, you are entering politics.' I want to do something positive for the future. It doesn't mean to become a leader of a party.

In the pre-computer era, “geek” referred to a circus sideshow person who usually had some remarkable skill or unusual deformity. In the computer era, a geek is a very skilled computer programmer who is very immersed in the technology and not terribly interested in politics or typical popular culture. However as any technology becomes ubiquitous and affects the lives of most citizens and the economy, politics is bound to intrude. Politicians are particularly ignorant of science and technology and if the geeks do not get involved in politics, their tools, systems, capabilities, freedoms and restrictions will be determined without their input, understanding, and pressure.
