Technology Quotes

We often use technology to save time, but increasingly, it either takes the saved time along with it, or makes the saved time less present, intimate and rich. I worry that the closer the world gets to our fingertips, the further it gets from our hearts Picture Quote #1

Technology must be implemented as part of a thoughtful, holistic approach to education transformation that includes teacher training, relevant curricula, parental involvement, and programs for children that fill unmet needs for basics like nutrition and health care Picture Quote #1

Software substitution, whether it’s for drivers or waiters or nurses... it’s progressing... Technology over time will reduce demand for jobs, particularly at the lower end of skill set... 20 years from now, labor demand for lots of skill sets will be substantially lower. I don’t think people have that in their mental model Picture Quote #1

If we human beings rely only on material development, we can’t be sure of a positive outcome. Employing technology motivated by anger and hatred is likely to be destructive. It will only be beneficial if we seek the welfare of all beings. Human beings are the only species with the potential to destroy the world. Because of the risks of unrestrained desire and greed we need to cultivate contentment and simplicity Picture Quote #1

When people talk to me about the digital divide, I think of it not so much about who has access to what technology as about who knows how to create and express themselves in the new language of the screen. If students aren’t taught the language of sound and images, shouldn’t they be considered as illiterate as if they left college without being able to read and write? Picture Quote #1

I’ve never argued against any technology being used when you have an imminent threat, an active crime going on. If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and fifty dollars in cash, I don’t care if a drone kills him or a policeman kills him Picture Quote #1

What new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want done Picture Quote #1

Seriously, we are in the midst of the convergence of voice and data and that is challenging the infrastructure of the telephone companies. There are huge commercial interests in the basic technology, but even more so in content delivery and control of content Picture Quote #1

If I was designing a web site for elementary school children, I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools Picture Quote #1

Technology isn’t the enemy, it is our ally, but only if we adopt a new model that puts people before profit. I realize that we seem far from that model, but I have seen it in action and it is a beautiful thing. So I’m not willing to give up yet. Hope is the last thing to die Picture Quote #1

We are the number one economy in the world, and we ought to continue to pursue those kinds of policies that ensure that we maintain that position, like innovation and like technology and like education and like just research and development and discovery Picture Quote #1

It is not that there is some magic technology. It is what are you going to do with it? Picture Quote #1

The bullying powers use different excuses to prevent transfer of science and technology and progress of the nations of our region Picture Quote #1

Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind Picture Quote #1

One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven Picture Quote #1

Quite apart from the prestige of technology, people do, after all, prefer a simple idea to a complex one Picture Quote #1

In the end the question is: Who is to be master, man or his machines? As long as the control over technology rests primarily on economic calculation, the victor is not likely to be man Picture Quote #1

The rise of the welfare state, on the one hand, and of the military bureaucracy, on the other, are instances of the manner in which technology is enforcing a socialization of life Picture Quote #1

I build things that I think are exciting from a technology standpoint and will help make life easier, simpler and better for people Picture Quote #1

We focus on building innovation and inventing technology futures and we figure that it will take care of the rest. So far, it’s done wonders Picture Quote #1

In a world where technology and capital are highly transferable, there is a real risk that comparative advantage comes to be defined as whose labor force will work for the lowest wage Picture Quote #1

Only technology has permitted us to put a city to the sword without quite realizing what we are doing Picture Quote #1

We try to picture what the products will be and then say, what technology should we be working on today to help us get there? Picture Quote #1

Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner Picture Quote #1

Nature recycles itself. History repeats itself. Religion has faith in itself. Technology creates itself. Humanity loves itself Picture Quote #1

My main theme is the extension of the nervous system in the electric age, and thus, the complete break with five thousand years of mechanical technology. This I state over and over again. I do not say whether it is a good or bad thing. To do so would be meaningless and arrogant Picture Quote #1

We wring our hands over the miscarriages of technology and take its benefactions for granted. We are dismayed by air pollution but not proportionately cheered up by, say, the virtual abolition of poliomyelitis Picture Quote #1

As the technology matures, it becomes less and less relevant. The technology is taken for granted. Now, new customers enter the marketplace, customers who are not captivated by technology, but who instead want reliability, convenience, no fuss or bother, and low cost Picture Quote #1

We are victims of our own success. We have let technology lead the way, pushing ever faster to newer, faster, and more powerful systems, with nary a moment to rest, contemplate, and to reflect upon why, how, and for whom all this energy has been expended Picture Quote #1

My theme for philanthropy is the same approach I used with technology: to find a need and fill it Picture Quote #1
