This takes keeping your ears open and listening to all you can; keeping your eyes open and observing all you can; and keeping your mind open and understanding all you can. All you need is the commitment and dedication. The world has spent the last 20 years developing and being wowed by technology; now, for the next 20 years, we’re going to have to make sense out of it.

André Leon Talley (b. 1949): American fashion journalist, who is the former editor-at-large of Vogue magazine
