When I think about, say, 1995, or whever the last moment was before most of us were on the internet and had mobile phones, it seems like a hundred years ago. ...

I was a huge fan of video games; I wanted to write something, and I saw the tools at my fingertips to upload a video to my audience, and thats why Im here today.

Everything is so viral right now that you have to assume as a candidate that anything you say will be broadcast.
