"I’ve watched how, in a blink of an eye, technology went from products used by the very few, to ending up in the pockets of billions, bringing social change and corporate disruption...Only a few generations have been granted the role of determining whether a revolution in communication will allow our better angels – or our darker angels – to win. You leave here with incredible opportunity, but also with immense responsibility. Your brains have been rewired to process all this Net-based information. Your brains are dealing with the world in a different way than humans ever have. That kind of profound shift has occurred only six times in the entire 200,000-year history of Homo Sapiens. And you, here today, are the vanguard of the seventh wave... Will you let darker angels win as you add fire to the flame, or will you seek out and spread real news? The question is whether you'll tell your children that this decade was the beginning of a new dark age, or whether it was the time of something new and wonderful. Light a path for the better angels. The world is counting on you."
