I love technology, and I love new gadgets. I can no longer figure out how to use any of them, but I love them.

My problem is that I like technology, but I always have to ask myself, 'Now wait a minute, will I actually have any use for this?'

I have seen that technology has contributed to improved communication, that it's contributed to better health care, that it's contributed to better food supplies, that it has contributed to all the basic human needs.

The personal contact is a personal thing. The fact that some people don't know their neighbors, I don't think that technology is at fault. You don't lose anything with technology. You gain other avenues of understanding.

Vivendi will be one of the very few top communications groups of the Internet age. We will have customers all over the globe, providing services through all kinds of technology.
