I watched a couple shows on Quibi and i liked them. Obviously its an app that seems tailor-made for commuters launching right as a pandemic reduced commuting. I don’t get why some folks seem happy it failed. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Quotable
“In today’s tech-driven world, people without high-speed internet connections are left essentially voiceless. They don’t have the digital tools or literacy needed to hear the diversity of voices expressing opinions or to express themselves in today’s modern world. Contending with life in America without benefit of the Internet is guaranteed marginalization. You not only lack a voice, but you also lack access to education, employment and social services that most people take for granted.”
– Comcast’s David L Cohen in a blog post for The Media Institute
