• The breakup of Bell laid the foundation for every important communications revolution since the 1980s onward.

• Nerds are running the world. Andrew Garfield made a movie [called “The Social Network”] about it. Nerds are no longer pariahs and knowing how to write computer code is longer a [mocked] quality. What was important in those early comics was this notion that Peter Parker is an outsider and how we define that in a contemporary context. That, I think, was one of the challenges for us — getting Peter Parker’s outsider status to be current.

• I think any new technology that helps connect and create social cohesion is great. But at the end of the day, you and I are analog creatures.
