In day-to-day commerce, television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise, not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.
12
Development of space will improve life on Earth. Access to space is important for agriculture, humanitarian efforts, communications, and navigation.
13
Rapid development in areas like machine-to-machine communications and the Internet of Things, coupled with the proliferation of big data, means higher-skilled professions, such as lawyers, journalists and accountants, are changing too. Some of their tasks are being replaced.

So, all during the ’90s and, you know, for the first half of this decade, we had opportunities to get evacuation plans in place, better communications in place.
17
It is difficult to think of a major industry that AI will not transform. This includes healthcare, education, transportation, retail, communications, and agriculture. There are surprisingly clear paths for AI to make a big difference in all of these industries.

After graduating college in 2001 with a B. A. in Political Science and Speech Communications from Texas State University – San Marcos, I realized that my generation and those younger had been given no future and had been maliciously robbed of the knowledge of principles and methods necessary for building one.
20
Latin America is convinced that, starting with South America, our way forward is to consolidate the process of integration: not theoretical integration – the integration of speeches – but physical integration, with infrastructure, with roads, with railways, with communications, with energy.
21
As a trusted institution with brick-and-mortar facilities in every corner of the United States, our public Postal Service is uniquely positioned to serve as a communications, finance, and service hub for the 21st century.

There must always be a balance between protecting privacy and security. In our country, one of the ways we have struck that balance is by requiring a court order before law enforcement can access certain communications of and data on suspects.
30
Carlos was a character, a character fabricated by Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, fabricated by the secret services of the epoch, fabricated by the governments of the epoch, by the radical groups of the epoch, by the communications media.
31
32
I think wealthy conservatives are busy investing in profit and job creation and enterprise, and wealthy liberals, many of them either from the media industry themselves or from – they recognize the value of communications and are more ready to put money into a less profitable enterprise, namely the media.
33
Mobile communications had been around for a long time, but always as a limited market, constrained by the radio spectrum.
34
I majored in political communications, so I intended to be a diplomat.
35
Yahoo is in everything from pets to old people to finance to communications to e-commerce and more, and I really thrive on that.
36
Over the course of a year – from January 2014 to March 2015 – millions of Americans, hundreds of businesses, and dozens of policymakers weighed in at the Federal Communications Commission in favor of net neutrality.
37
38
Personal and mobile computing, long-distance communications, energy storage, and air travel are just a few of the things that have been democratized by technology, creating new possibilities for billions of people.

42
The need for improved technical support in schools has expanded as the Government and schools have increased their investment in information and communications technologies.
43
The thing we have to be careful of is that the Internet is a global communications medium, and if one country tips the balance in regulating its use or regulating what companies or individuals do on the web, it could have an economic impact that might be unintended, quite frankly, by the regulations themselves.
44
45
46
There’s much more money being brought into the advertising and communications business than in the music industry.
47
I think there is an overwhelming support for campaign finance reform, and that includes conservatives and Republicans. Where the problem is is with the leadership; with the politicians who are benefiting from the big campaign contributions, and the dark money in the electioneering communications and so forth.
48
The proof that God has revealed himself to man by special and express communications, and that Christianity constitutes that revelation, is no part of these inquiries.
49
50
Throughout the history of communications, we’ve seen that the country that sets the pace in rolling out each new generation of wireless technology gains an economic edge.
51
52
There’s a shift to mobile apps; I’d like to see a more pervasive communications experience, and I think Skype can contribute to that.
53
54
There needs to be some regime that is overseeing access to broadband to make sure we have openess; otherwise, there is a risk it won’t be open anymore. We spent quite a bit of time with Verizon policy people in addition to participating in a multilateral discussion with the Federal Communications Commission.
55
I think we can question whether degrees are antediluvian. Online learning has flexibility. Why not master courses in energy, writing, communications, and engineering and get a credential?
56
I think Twitter is the future of communications and Square will be the payment network.
57
Thirdly, as we move through this process of integrating the communications, we will begin to emulate more of the World Wide Web in our work in the future.
58
If National Security Agency (NSA) heads fundamentally lack an understanding of what constitutes constitutionally protected communications, or worse, chose to disregard those directives, then it’s time for the appropriate heads of these agencies to resign.

Whatever your political leanings, it is disturbing that federal authorities were spying on emails and other private communications between President Donald Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani during Trump’s first impeachment.
64
65
Every legislative meeting on how to pass health care, the communications director or someone from the communications team would be a part of because we did a lot of press interviews when we were trying to pass the Affordable Care Act specifically designed to help pass the bill.
66
There’s no question that the marketing and advertising world is ahead of the political marketing the political communications world.
67
68
69
When you talk to police communications staff and think about their job from an insider‘s point of view, you can see they have to inch out along a razor‘s edge every day. They have a duty to be honest. But there’s also a responsibility not to inflame.
70
71
The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it to a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people – as remarkable as the telephone.
72
The Internet was supposed to be the greatest tool of global communications and means of sharing knowledge in human history. And it is. But it has also become the most effective instrument of mass surveillance and potentially one of the greatest instruments of totalitarianism in the history of the world.
73
74
75
I’ve exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. For the most part, these communications took place before my marriage, though some have sadly took place after. To be clear, I have never met any of these women or had physical relationships at any time.
76
77
The iPhone is made on a global scale, and it blends computers, the Internet, communications, and artificial intelligence in one blockbuster, game-changing innovation. It reflects so many of the things that our contemporary world is good at – indeed, great at.
78
79
I have enjoyed most particularly reading the correspondence between Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss. The genuine friendship, competitiveness and support that thread through their communications are life lessons for us all.
80
81
Distributed workforces are most likely to succeed if their culture is one that values and prioritizes face-to-face communications.
82
When people are connected, we can just do some great things. They have the opportunity to get access to jobs, education, health, communications. We have the opportunity to bring the people we care about closer to us. It really makes a big difference.
83
84
85
86
87
Unlike government entities, the private sector has the technical knowhow and experience to build and operate complex communications systems.
88
I studied communications, only because I could get my own show on the campus radio station. I never thought of it as a career. Music was always a really passionate hobby – it was like collecting DVDs or stamps.
89
I have tried to help build a framework that recaptures the First Amendment as a principle to empower all Americans, politically and personally, through access to plentiful, diverse communications spaces.
90
The Internet promises to open new channels for worker-firm communications. What are the consequences of this opening?
91
92
It’s hard to predict the future, but some people think that Bitcoin could do to finance what the Internet did to communications.
93
I am not convinced that lack of encryption is the primary problem. The problem with the Internet is that it is meant for communications among non-friends.
94
For every step forward in electronic communications, we’ve taken two steps back in humanity. People know how to use a computer and answering machines but have forgotten how to connect with one another. Our society is unraveling. We’re too self-obsessed.
95
We are a bottom-up culture, and we need a communications platform that can facilitate that.
96
Our Heavenly Father continues to communicate with us through revelation. These revelations are communications of divine directions. They may come to us personally or through the voice of the Lord‘s chosen servants, the prophets, seers, and revelators.

101
When my grandfather was born, there was no healthcare. There were no airplanes. There were no boats. There were no trains. There were no communications. No Internet. No widespread knowledge. It will be a completely different world but a much better place in a hundred years.
102
The more we learn about new communications, the more capacity we need, and that is going to keep going on forever. That’s been happening since radio was invented, and that’s going to keep going.
103
104
105
If you want to get things done in life, you don’t go into politics. If you want to get things done in life you go into communications. Absolutely certain.
106
Email is the lowest common denominator. It’s the way you get communications from one person to another. There isn’t really an alternative. Sometimes people will have Facebook messenger turned on, but 99 percent of the time, if you’re sending a message to a human you don’t know well, you’re using email.
107
108
We have never really had absolute privacy with our records or our electronic communications – government agencies have always been able to gain access with appropriate court orders.
109
110
I had no background in communications but what I did have was an excellent education from Providence College and a love of basketball. That afforded me the chance to be good on my feet and stay afloat while I learned the media business.
111
112
I was nerdy girl who went to Catholic school and wanted to be an engineer. I was all set to attend the Illinois Institute of Technology. And then I took a hard left turn and studied Liberal Arts at Northern Illinois University, majored in Communications. Then worked in radio as a disk jockey and as the weather girl.
113
114
115
We are a nation of innovators and problem-solvers who sparked revolutions in democratic government, civil rights, communications, flight, rural electrification and technology. We are a country defined by ideals now in need of rescue.
116
You may not know it now, if you studied communications or engineering, law or medicine, business or classics: you’re a storyteller, too.
117
118
119
I spent almost eight years working for the Obama administration, in the White House as the deputy press secretary, deputy communications director, communications director, and as the spokesperson at the State Department.
120
Take, therefore, what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally. That, in my view, gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.
121
U.S. intelligence has the legal right to monitor foreign communications as they go through to U.S. service providers. However, even though something is legal doesn’t make it right. I’m not American; I don’t really care about what data is being collected about American citizens. I’m worried about us, the foreigners.
122
123
The most important impact of technology on communications security is that it draws better and better traffic into vulnerable channels.
124
I mean we will have some of the best and brightest men and women in the country. We have some of the most entrepreneurial spirit, not only in communications, but cybersecurity is a growth industry that’s going off the charts that we are a hub here in San Diego.
125
126
There are lots of reasons email persists, even as faster and simpler forms of communication proliferate and your personal communications likely have mostly migrated elsewhere. But one big one is that new types of media channels rarely totally kill off old ones, even though everyone predicts they will.
127
128
129
Freedom of ideas and communications is one of the things we are fighting for, and our enemies are fighting against.
130
131
If policymakers are serious about avoiding a society of TV ‘haves and have-nots,’ they should refrain from policies that favor pay-TV operators over the providers of our nation’s only free and local communications system: over-the-air broadcasting.
132
The problem is essentially that of communications to an army in action. After a rapid advance communications become disorganized, and there is a temporary halting until they are again in working order.
133
134
I understood the importance in principle of public key cryptography but it’s all moved much faster than I expected. I did not expect it to be a mainstay of advanced communications technology.
135
Over fifteen years of studying the American Right professionally – especially in their communications with each other, in their own memos and media since the 1950s – I have yet to find a truly novel development, a real innovation, in far-right ‘thought.’
136
Inevitably, the world of ‘communications’ / PR / advertising / marketing is full of charlatans flogging snake oil. It is therefore very easy to do things and spend money just because it’s conventional.
137
138
It’s often taken for granted that the most dominant tech companies control the world’s most important technology and communications platforms. Instead, the truth is that these giants run on top of the world’s most important platform: the mobile communications networks.
139
140
Internet users should be able to choose where to go online and which applications to use. Comcast, say, shouldn’t be allowed to block Skype just because it could siphon the communications giant’s telephone business.
141
142
My career is a very happy accident. I never studied communications.
143
144
145
For too long, the family-loving grassroots American public has sat back and watched ultra-liberal and militant radical groups cast fear into the hearts of our communications industries.
146
147
148
There are a lot of things that need to be done to improve communications.
149
Electronic communications networks match trades between investors directly, without using a market maker or specialist as an intermediary.
150
Ever since we’ve had electronic communications, and particularly during a time of war, presidents have authorized the electronic surveillance of the enemy.
151
152
153
154
My view is different. Public relations are a key component of any operation in this day of instant communications and rightly inquisitive citizens.
155
We accelerated our capital spending in the fourth quarter, particularly in international and next-generation network deployment, which should not only sustain future revenue growth but also drive significant cost reductions across all communications services.
156
The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue.
157
158
I’m in the communications business.
159
My assignment was in the communications office, where I typed out dispatches.
160
161
I cannot and will not violate my duty to protect confidential communications with the president.
162
In this rapidly changing media environment, business transformations need to be closely linked to communications strategies.
163
The first time I looked at Yammer, I thought I was on Facebook. Work is not a social network, with serendipitous communications and photo collections. Work is about managing tasks and responding to things quickly.
164
165
166
I worked for GCHQ, which stands for Government Communications Headquarters, and is the equivalent of the NSA here in the U.S.
167
Those who are mastering more and more the communications revolution, those who realize that there are no borders in the world, are the ones who are going to leap ahead.
168
The space industry is developing and delivering benefits that tie into our immediate needs and priorities here on Earth-for example, medical and materials research, and satellite communications.
169
I am doing communications in journalism to do sports broadcasting. I’d love to go into that kind of stuff.
170
In almost every profession – whether it’s law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia or running a small business – people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it.
171
172
The communications delays between Earth and Mars can be half an hour or more, so the people on the ground can’t participate minute by minute in Mars surface activities.
173
174
Corporate communications will become a high-tech art, just as political communication is for Obama.
175
It’s hard to say conversation has become a minimal thing, because look at the rise of mobile communications in the last 10 years. It used to be only the president had a mobile phone. Now everyone on earth, even if they have nothing else, they have a cell phone.
176
Our government should not be spying on the electronic communications of American citizens. Nor should our iPhones or Android devices be subject to unreasonable searches and seizures.
177
178
Trust leads to approachability and open communications.
179
You can’t kill your way to success in a counter insurgency effort. You have to protect the people, get the civil military balance right, train the locals, and practice effective strategic communications.
180
I think it’s like that for people who don’t remember 1969 first-hand. It’s that sense of ‘old hat.’ Of ‘been there, done that.’ Space shuttles, space stations, communications satellites, GPS – they’re all part of our everyday, taken-for-granted world in 2009, not part of an incredible odyssey.
181
I’m extremely happy to be able to work to build communications throughout the world.
182
I took computers in high school. I would do all my own programming, but I didn’t see the future of computers for anything other than data processing. Who was going to use a computer for communications?
183
184
It is really no surprise that, in a media world that has been so compromised by an invasion of political partisans and inarticulate airheads with communications degrees, a fake journalist can seem more trustworthy than the real thing.
185
I think the big difference between most countries and the U.S., is that governments are more straightforward now about their intentions to gather information on private communications.
186
While the federal government is required by law to document publicly its wiretapping of phone lines, it is not required to do so with Internet communications.
187
All I cared about was ‘TRL.’ I was studying communications at school, and one day before class, I heard about the ‘Search For An Apprentice‘ program.
188
I was working in email in the early days in the late ’80s, and people weren’t using electronic communications at all in the way we take for granted today.
189
What I most hope is that Kelsey and I can improve our communications and truly co-parent our two wonderful children.
190
I really sing songs that move me. I’m not in show business. I’m in the communications business. That’s what it’s for me.
191
My dad didn’t want me to go for drama in school, so I chose the closest thing to it and got a bachelors degree in Communications at the Manhattan College.
192
I was actually a communications major and had never done design.
193
Every year the progress of advanced capitalist society makes our population consist of more and more isolates. This is because of the infrastructure of the economy, especially electronic communications.
194
Intelligence collection is not confined to the communications of adversaries or of the guilty. Rather, it’s about gaining information otherwise unavailable that would help keep Americans safe and free.
195
196
There’s nothing better than people talking to each other, sharing best practices, and opening up communications.
197
198
Social media is the most disruptive form of communication humankind has seen since the last disruptive form of communications, email.
199
Our communications reflect in our countenance. Therefore, we must be careful not only what we communicate, but also how we do so. Souls can be strengthened or shattered by the message and the manner in which we communicate.
200
201
The bottom line is this: I want America to be at the forefront of innovation in the broadcast sector, the wireless sector, and every other sector of the communications industry.
202
Today we stand on a bridge leading from the territorial state to the world community. Politically, we are still governed by the concept of the territorial state; economically and technically, we live under the auspices of worldwide communications and worldwide markets.
203
I’ve been in navigation systems, robotics, restaurants, communications systems, touch screens, and now I’m back in games. I like to say I have five-year A.D.D.
204
It’s vital that low-income Americans have access to communications services, including broadband Internet, which Lifeline helps to achieve.
205
We should be careful and deliberate in how we allow public entry into our vibrant communications marketplace… This is an issue that should be left to our states.
