There are 4 billion cell phones in use today. Many of them are in the hands of market vendors, rickshaw drivers, and others who've historically lacked access to education and opportunity. Information networks have become a great leveler, and we should use them together to help lift people out of poverty and give them a freedom from want.

American Politician

Scott Anderson

Waitresses, soldiers, rickshaw drivers, old ladies selling vegetables - my father would schmooze anybody. He was Clintonesque before the word existed. And, of course, it paid dividends. Ill-tempered guards at the most notorious border crossings waved him through with cheery smiles. Haughty maitre d's fawned over him.

My father is an amazing person. While he was a huge star, he never carried his stardom home and always remained simple and just our father at home. I have four siblings, and we were all very grounded. We lived a very simple life: would go in an auto rickshaw to school, played with normal boys.

Indian Actor

Michael Steger

Filming in India was one big adventure. For 'The Cheetah Girls', we were in Mumbai for two weeks, then Rajasthan for six weeks. Every day after shooting, I would hop into a rickshaw and start exploring the city. I even learned a bit of Hindi. It's such an amazing place to visit.

American Actor

Shoojit Sircar

Indian Director

Priyanshu Chatterjee

I know exactly what Ganjing is. Quite a few years ago, I had come to meet my friend who was studying in IIM and the two of us had roamed around on a rickshaw looking at all the Hazratganj special stuff.

Belinda Carlisle

To be able to drive a rickshaw legally, I had to get an international motorcycle license in L.A., which I have now.

American Musician

Kajol

I have a lot of road rage. Mostly with the rickshaw and cab drivers trying to cut me; it's the traffic. Grrrr!

Indian Actress

Ethan Canin

If you try to write a novel in L.A., you're a chump; everyone is speeding by, and you're driving a rickshaw.

American Author

I think earlier I struggled in a rickshaw and now I am struggling in a Bentley.

He could buy things that King Henry, in all his wealth, could never buy. That's what progress is about. So, technology is selfish; technology is generous.

Kevin Kelly tells...

 Then there was no looking back at all for us. We gave cycle rickshaws. We set up carpet-weaving units, vocational training for the women. The women were just not allowed to come out of the community and work with mainstream society. So, we were able to address that. Education. The kids never went to school.

 India's road vehicle fleet can also go electric. Now, to be clear, we're mostly not talking about these electric vehicles, but these. Two- and three-wheelers make up more than 80 percent of India's vehicle fleet. To accelerate the adoption of electric scooters and rickshaws,

Creating a public school...

 And so what we did was almost what I would call an immature version of a luxury brand that looked like a badge on a luxury car. And as we've gone worldwide and gone from S-Classes to auto rickshaws in India, it became something that was important for us

Uber's plan to get more...

 So he decided he'd put science to work. And he invited this girl to go off on a rickshaw ride with him. And sure enough -- I've never been in one, but apparently they go all around the buses and the trucks

Why we love, why we...

 And out on the street, I ran into a group of rough men standing beside their bicycle rickshaws. And one of them came up and offered to show me around. The price he quoted was outrageous.
