Stephen Fry On Technology: ‘This Is A World In Which Science, Creativity And Commerce Meet’

Gadget celebrity extraordinaire Stephen Fry was one of the guests of honour at this year’s T3 Awards in the UK, and his speech is littered with little nuggets of quotable gold. Like his thoughts on Windows:

And for 20 odd years, most people were doing the equivalent of getting in a piss-smelling lift, electrocuting themselves on a nylon carpet, trying to read while flickering fluorescent lights over their heads buzzed with dead flies in them – and it was called “Windows”

The whole speech is educated and entertaining in typical Stephen Fry fashion. Enjoy.
