“Our children no longer want to become physicists and astronauts. They want to invent the next Facebook instead. Short of that, they are happy to land a job at Google. They don’t talk quanta — they dream bits. They don’t see entanglement but recognize with ease nodes and links. As complexity takes a driving seat in science, engineering and business, we physicists cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.”
— Albert-László Barabási, physicist, Professor and Director of Northeastern University’s Center for Complex Network Research (CCNR), The network takeover (pdf), Nature Physics, Vol 8, Jan 2012.
