‘All of technology, really, is about maximizing free options.’ – Nassim Nicholas Taleb

‘I stayed in the astronaut program until 1993. People ask me why I left. I thought I had a lot of things to contribute that would be difficult to do if I stayed.

Nothing is self-renewing.’ – Allan Savory

‘I’ve always wanted to own and control the primary technology in everything we do.’ – Steve Jobs

They embrace the concept of an innovation culture. They vote in ways that promote it. They don’t fight science and they don’t fight technology.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

‘Digital technology can be a great resource, but it can also be a pernicious one, so it’s how we, as a society, really study the cognitive impact of that and use evidence-based research to go after the technology designers to do a better job of dealing with the problems of memory and attention we are seeing.’ – Maryanne Wolf

‘I enjoy thinking about how race plays out over the centuries, how technology evolves, how cities transform themselves. These subjects are present in some of my books and absent in others.’ – Colson Whitehead

”Cyberspace’ is a metaphorical idea which is supposed to be the space where your consciousness is located when you’re using computer technology on the Internet, for example, and I’m not entirely sure it’s such a useful term, but I think that’s what most people mean by it.’ – Neil Postman

‘I’m sorry, it’s true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We’re born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It’s been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much – if at all.’ – Steve Jobs

‘I closely follow everything about user interface or human-computer interface: technology that makes computers closer to the way the human being actually functions.’ – Francois-Henri Pinault

‘Even when you take a holiday from technology, technology doesn’t take a break from you.’ – Douglas Coupland

‘The reason we have so much talent in Silicon Valley building and investing in for-profit technology companies is that markets richly reward successful ideas, no matter who invents them. But to remain competitive in a free market, companies must exercise discipline to meet quantitative goals and eventually become cashflow positive.’ – Joe Lonsdale

‘You go to a technology conference or an engineering conference, there are very few women there. At the same time it’s a blessing in the fact that you do get noticed.

‘Electronic medical records are, in a lot of ways, I think the aspect of technology that is going to revolutionize the way we deliver care.

‘I believe 3D is inevitable because it’s about aligning our entertainment systems to our sensory system. We all have two eyes; we all see the world in 3D.

We’ve solved the technology.’ – James Cameron

‘The combination of hatred and technology is the greatest danger threatening mankind.’ – Simon Wiesenthal

‘I was nerdy girl who went to Catholic school and wanted to be an engineer. I was all set to attend the Illinois Institute of Technology.

‘I feel like we cheated… because you read about these other directors, just like, ‘Damn! They paid dues for 10 years before they got to get behind the camera.’ We cheated because technology was in the right place at the right time, and we were alive at the right age at the right time for us to take advantage of that.’ – Freddie Wong

‘No one bill will cure the problem of spam. It will take a combined effort of legislation, litigation, enforcement, customer education, and technology solutions.’ – David Baker

Of course, every work of man is a negation of nature, but at the same time, it is a bridge between nature and us. Technology changes nature in a more radical and decisive manner: it throws it out.’ – Octavio Paz

We’ve done all these amazing things in terms of our knowledge base and technology, and now we’re flying around and using the Internet. But we’re still very animalistic.’ – Wangechi Mutu

‘Today we all are enjoying the fruits of the digital era. Millions of sources of information coming at us at lightning fast speed.

It’s a habit like all habits.’ – Margaret Atwood

‘Electricity is an example of a general purpose technology, like the steam engine before it. General purpose technologies drive most economic growth, because they unleash cascades of complementary innovations, like lightbulbs and, yes, factory redesign.’ – Erik Brynjolfsson

‘It’s important with any new technology to try to pay conscious attention to what the drawbacks might be. We choose to multitask. Sometimes our choices aren’t the wisest of choices, and we regret them, but they are our choices. I think it’d be wrong to think that they’re automatically bad.’ – James Gleick

‘I love technology, and I love science. It’s just always all in the way you use it. So there’s no – you can’t really blame anything on the technology. It’s just the way people use it, and it always has been.’ – Steve Martin

McRaven

‘I’ve always been interested in technology, but specifically how we can use machines to engage the imagination. I started using computers when I was young and was fascinated by creating rules and instructions that allow a computer to engage in a dialogue with humans.
