I find myself going to places where I really have no business, speaking to these people in a whole other field that I have no extensive knowledge of. But I do it very often because it scares me.

Many people see technology as the problem behind the so-called digital divide. Others see it as the solution. Technology is neither. It must operate in conjunction with business, economic, political and social system.

Don't think of yourself as a woman in business.

Had anyone told me that I was going to have a career in business, I would have said, 'No way.'

You know, every family and every business in California knows what it means to go through tough times.
