Roger Ver Quotes

Nothing was more up-to-date when it was built, or is more obsolete today, than the railroad station.

The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it.

Every film that comes out that incorporates CGI or performance capture is a little bit ahead of the last film that came out. You're on the cutting edge for a certain amount of time, and then the new technology comes out.

There's an overemphasis on conservation and other idyllic energy sources that can be harmful in that it hampers new technology and innovation.

If I was to leave home without my wallet and my iPhone, and I could only go back and get one, I'd grab my iPhone.

Games are a media that relies on technology to be innovative and forward thinking and interesting. Personally, I love being at that forefront when something new comes out.
