I ♥ this quote, and I have read many. People in the advertising industry really need to realize (finally) that people DO NOT like advertising. Period.
Advertising will not go away completely, but is in the beginning stage of an interesting transformation which blurs the lines of every day life/media consumption/cultural nuances more than ever before and perhaps being much more permission-based than ever before (goodbye 60 & 30 second commercials).
It's about time.

When Tim Berners-Lee speaks, people tend to listen. From the man who invented the World Wide Web (sorry, Al Gore), we are given a great talk at TED in regards to the emergence of the next Web-the semantic web, web 3.0, linked data, or however you want to describe it.
With the emergence of wolframalpha.com this week, we are finally on the verge of an exciting new frontier, one that will change our lives even more than the WWW has in the last 20 years. The future is now.
