Dave Morin Quotes

Phones would not be better if they could be cooler looking, if they could weight less, or if they could have more battery. Phones would be better if we didn't have to carry them around.

Our generation, unfortunately, is stuck to our phones - and, like, Twitter - constantly, which I have no problem with.
