About This Quote

The world has become so interconnected that it is no longer possible to keep secrets. The invention of the printing press, the telephone, the internet and now the smart phone have made it nearly impossible for anyone to hide. Technology has allowed people to expose themselves in ways that would have been unimaginable a generation ago. This is a sign of progress and a sign that we will continue to learn about one another as technology allows us to do more and more.
