I don't care how big and fast computers are, they're not as big and fast as the world.

One finds limits by pushing them.

The proper study of mankind is the science of design.

There are no morals about technology at all. Technology expands our ways of thinking about things, expands our ways of doing things. If we're bad people we use technology for bad purposes and if we're good people we use it for good purposes.

Anything that gives us new knowledge gives us an opportunity to be more rational.

Human knowledge has been changing from the word go and people in certain respects behave more rationally than they did when they didn't have it. They spend less time doing rain dances and more time seeding clouds.

Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design.

Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.
