Esther Dyson

He said, well, if somebody's calling me at work, they must have some kind of problem. Why should I answer the phone and take care of their problems? No upselling, no customer care. That just wasn't part of the culture.

I didn't at the age of eight say I'm interested in journalism because, but I started something called the Dyson Gazette, which was with carbon paper, like maybe six, six copies or something about me and my brother George and what happened in school. And daddy went to Australia for some kind of conference. And this is what the second grade teacher said and so forth. It's fun.

It didn't last for too long. Then I worked for my high school newspaper. And I mean, the fundamental idea, I think, is what you learned in school was already written down in books. You weren't discovering anything new. But as a journalist, you would ask what's going on and try to understand it and explain it. And it was new stuff. And that was a lot more interesting than just memorizing books.

So I worked very hard in high school so that I could leave early and go to college. But once I got to college... I pretty much worked full-time for the Harvard Crimson, which was their paper, and I loved it.

I wrote stories for free, and then I got paid for being a proofreader, so I'd work late into the night proofreading before the copy would go downstairs and then go onto these linotype machines that printed with hot lead. It was very different from nowadays, and I loved it.

Once I left college and got to New York, I tried for a job at Variety and everybody wanted to work for Variety, which at the time was the hot entertainment newsletter, newspaper. And I also applied for a job at Forbes magazine. Fewer people were applying there, so I got that job and basically learned about business by interviewing CEOs. And I was this cute little 22-year-old girl.

So the CEOs would be delighted to tell me how they ran their business and what they did. And I think probably told me a lot more than they told most of the kind of older male senior reporters who... one way or another they thought were a threat to their manhood, whereas I was this cute little girl asking questions.
