“Lets take this twelve year old girl that I am a godfather to. She has a cell phone, she is on the web, she has a Facebook page, she has friends from around the world in that space and for her, that was like for me growing up when we had radio and tv, it was just part of the atmosphere. For her it is part of the atmosphere too. So I think she is growing up not so much with the sense of entitlement, but rather a sense that this is the way the world is. And because she makes those assumptions she is going to build upon that too. I don’t know where that will lead, but being an optimist I trust in the human spirit to find its own way.” - Grady Booch, Chief Scientist, Software Engineering in IBM Research
