The Arab awakening was driven by youth, organized by technology, and fired by a hunger for political change.

I think it is inevitable that people program poorly. Training will not substantially help matters. We have to learn to live with it.

When I see how fast technology is advancing, my mind thinks of evolution and how organisms also have to evolve or adapt in order to, in their case, survive.

Because of technological limits, there is a certain amount of food that we can produce per acre. If we were to have intensive greenhouse agriculture, we could have much higher production.

Our industry has invested so much money in technology that perhaps it's time to invest in talent, in people.

There was a study done in the early 20th century of all the entrepreneurs who entered the automobile industry around the same time as Henry Ford; there were something like 500 automotive companies that got funded, had the internal combustion engine, had the technology, and had the vision. Sixty percent of them folded within a couple of years.

The most important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes, but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday.

The only thing that I'd rather own than Windows is English, because then I could charge you two hundred and forty-nine dollars for the right to speak it.

I think I'm generally more inspired when I'm away from technology. Whether that is on a beach somewhere or just in your room with your phones and screens shut off, I think that quietness is often very inspiring.

Because of technology today, we expect kids to stay in touch with us too much. I think that's unnatural. We really do have to give kids their freedom and allow them to go off and become adults.

I think there's a gigantic generation gap in terms of how people understand the Internet and how much they think technology is an important factor in social change.

We're seeing how the videos translate to the live shows and how the technology is really reaching kids.

I don't know technology and engineering. I don't know accounting.

While technology and assessment can help complement the important work of our teachers, I worry that we are spending too much of our time testing.

Britain has trend-setting fashion, ground-breaking scientists, and innovative technology companies. It is also a welcome home for investors.

For the first time in 6,000 years of human history, we can have peer-to-peer exchange where trust is not a problem anymore. And it's through the technology that underlies bitcoin. It's called the block chain.

If you look at the direction that the world is taking from an advertising and marketing point of view, it is significantly becoming a world that's all about video and all about doing things programmatically. Now what AerServ has is best in-class technology in the form of video programmatic... our acquisition of them gives us that capability.

Sabanci has many years of experience in the tire reinforcement industry, and we are committed to the success of this business through an advanced technology relationship with KoSa and a strong commitment to our customers.

Building technical systems involves a lot of hard work and specialized knowledge: languages and protocols, coding and debugging, testing and refactoring.

Back in the days of Apollo, sending humans to the moon was the only viable way to get the scientific data we wanted. But now, with our computer and robotics technology, there's very little an astronaut can do on Mars that a well-designed rover can't.

People are so busy positioning themselves before the screen and talking on the damn cellphones, communicating, that we're not reading, and in fact we're not really communicating, either. We're not talking to each other. There's just all these screens and wires and technology in between.

Doing linear scans over an associative array is like trying to club someone to death with a loaded Uzi.

Real programmers can write assembly code in any language.

I want people to use Perl. I want to be a positive ingredient of the world and make my American history. So, whatever it takes to give away my software and get it used, that's great.

People go on Snapchat - I don't understand it. It's the first app I felt, 'Oh no, I'm out of touch with burgeoning technology. I'm not 16!'

My interests in the world of technology are mainly video games, but I like tech as a means to help solve big issues, such as the demands on natural resources.

We are often celebrating technology and codes, but we don't really think about the creative side.

In technology startups, there's a lot of winging it.

I used to think that cyberspace was fifty years away. What I thought was fifty years away, was only ten years away. And what I thought was ten years away... it was already here. I just wasn't aware of it yet.

Since the Industrial Revolution, we tend to use technology to show our power: you know, we build high-rises, towers, big buildings that become symbols of power and capitalism. We don't talk about how emotions and nature can be connected.

Technology and communicating with people online or through a phone or through social media - it's a false sense of intimacy and connection.

Many of the engineers I interviewed worked on reverse-engineering technology. It's a hallmark of Area 51.

I have friends who have a CD mastering plant in Hollywood and they are very sceptical about European record labels' understanding of digital technology.

I've learned several lessons over the years. First, never take yourself too seriously, or work is boring. Next, people make the difference. You can have great technology, but if it's not complemented by great people, it won't go anywhere. Finally, customers buy from people they like.

The promise of energy savings, reduced carbon emissions and affordable lighting was there from the inception. The proliferation of the technology into areas such as displays, automotive, medicine and horticulture was unexpected.

Even if the technology advances, I don't expect we will be allowed to sail around with 400-meter long container ships weighing 200,000 tonnes without any human beings on board. I don't think it will be a driver of efficiency - not in my time.

Government is supposed to be about how we do things together, and we can do that much more together if we use technology smartly right now.

Technology should be an important ingredient. It may be and should be a tool for social development.

To bring out a new technology for consumers first, you just had a very long road to go down to try to find people who actually would pay money for something.

Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.

I started my career as a journalist, writing about science and technology for 'Business Week' magazine. Then I decided to make a career shift. I went to graduate school in computer science, and I began developing educational technologies - in particular, technologies to engage children in creative learning experiences.

For me, the most exciting aspect of my success is how the insights that Ayasdi's technology has found in data can truly impact people's lives.

Digital imaging has untied our hands with regards to technical limitations. We no longer have to be arbiters of technology; we get to participate in the interpretation of technology into creative content.

We need a data network that can easily carry voice, instead of what we have today, a voice network struggling to carry data.

I feel there is so much more we can do in improving education, making it accessible and understanding how technology can be a part of the solution.

Gates is the ultimate programming machine. He believes everything can be defined, examined, reduced to essentials, and rearranged into a logical sequence that will achieve a particular goal.

Do you realize if it weren't for Edison we'd be watching TV by candlelight?

The research rat of the future allows experimentation without manipulation of the real world. This is the cutting edge of modeling technology.

The great thing that guys like Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and the Google guys have in common is they treat their technology like it's art, and I suppose in the hands of virtuosos like them, it is.
