To get where we are today, they first had to figure out how people could make money there. Money was important then. The first guy said, we'll count eyeballs. The second guy said, what's an eyeball worth? Nothing. Then, two other guys said, who needs eyeballs? Who would pay us money for eyeballs? Those two guys cornered the eyeball market.

They got everybody to sell them all the eyeballs they could find. You didn't get much unless you found a lot of eyeballs. But the two guys tinkered with it and got it adjusted so that everybody could make a living. Before that, you had to be funny, just to survive. But it didn't matter to the two guys if you were funny or not. They got paid either way. So, finally, they started paying for information by the bit. If she said hoo, and he said ha, and three other people tuned in, that was a transaction. She got paid. He got paid. Some people ate better than others, but everybody survived. Because, if you died, those two guys didn't get paid.
