Every time a new technology comes along, we feel we're about to break through to a place where we will not be able to recover. The advent of broadcast radio confused people. It delighted people, of course, but it also changed the world.

Silicon Valley has some of the smartest engineers and technology business people in the world.

There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions.

Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported?

Digital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.

One way to understand human progress is to look at how technology has made products and services - once reserved for the elite - progressively more accessible and affordable.

Many people mistakenly think a new technology cancels out an old one.

Telephone, n. An invention of the devil which abrogates some of the advantages of making a disagreeable person keep his distance.

The purpose of the mission must be thoroughly understood beforehand, and the men must be inspired with a sense of personal dedication that knows no limitations... In an age of high technology and Jedi Knights, we often overlook the need for personal involvement, but we do so at our own risk.

Discipline may be identified neither with an institution nor with an apparatus; it is a type of power, a modality for its exercise, comprising a whole set of instruments, techniques, procedures, levels of application, targets; it is a 'physics' or 'anatomy' of power, a technology.

Although we have enough healthcare support, often it doesn't reach the poor and needy. In this scenario, technology is the best solution.

You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.

The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.

If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 MPG.

Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.

Technology has advanced more in the last thirty years than in the previous two thousand. The exponential increase in advancement will only continue.

Our technological powers increase, but the side effects and potential hazards also escalate.

The film industry brings people together, and so does technology. I see them as similar platforms.

Scheduled shipping is one of many inventions that has made New York a global capital of innovation and creativity - from Willis Carrier's invention of air conditioning in Buffalo and George Eastman's breakthrough film technology in Rochester to the rise of hip-hop in the South Bronx and the world's first cell phone call in Midtown Manhattan.

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. And then I took a hard left turn and studied Liberal Arts at Northern Illinois University, majored in Communications. Then worked in radio as a disk jockey and as the weather girl.

Take, therefore, what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally. That, in my view, gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.

Biology, it's the technology which builds our world, and we can harness it to shift humanity from a scarcity to an abundance economy.

In a world of global competition and new technology, I think competition is coming from new places.

For me, modern technology has ruined romance and movies - nobody can run to the airplane gate anymore.

There is a difference between what technology enables and what historical business practices enable.

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.

I think there are going to be a bunch of tablet-like devices. It's really a different product category.

Despite all our gains in technology, product innovation and world markets, most people are not thriving in the organizations they work for.

We had to address information technology in the ways we had not before and give the agents the tools that they need to do their job more efficiently and more expeditiously.

Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings.

An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in. Microsoft started with programming tools, but came out with an operating system. Oracle started doing contracts for the CIA. AOL started out as an online video gaming network.

We already have - thanks to technology, development, skills, the efficiency of our work - enough resources to satisfy all human needs. But we don't have enough resources, and we are unlikely ever to have, to satisfy human greed.

The internet is a great way to get on the net.

As technology tries to maintain its dizzying ascent, one dead weight has kept its altitude in check: the battery.

The final frontier of the digital technology is integrating into your own brain.

Robots are interesting because they exist as a real technology that you can really study - you can get a degree in robotics - and they also have all this pop-culture real estate that they take up in people's minds.

I have no problem with the financial industry inviting the Trojan Horse of blockchain technology into their walled garden. Because I know how powerful the technology is.

To say a scientist is not at all responsible is wrong. But to say that someone who invents a piece of knowledge or technology is responsible for all future uses is ridiculous. It doesn't have to be that binary.

5G will be a major technology in growing industrial digitalisation, creating and enhancing industry digitalisation use cases such as immersive gaming, autonomous driving, remote robotic surgery, and augmented reality support in maintenance and repair situations.

Time travel and teleportation will have to wait. It may take centuries to master these technology. But within the coming decades, we will understand dark matter, perhaps test string theory, find planets which can harbor life, and maybe have Brain 2.0, i.e. our consciousness on a disk which will survive even after we die.

Cyberspace can't compensate for real space. We benefit from chatting to people face to face.

Whatever it is that leads human beings to hate, to destroy, and to kill has taken on a collective force like never before, as technology and globalization now give it the capacity to not just strike, but to strike us all, together, as one.

You don't have to be young to learn about technology. You have to feel young.

When I first got into technology I didn't really understand what open source was. Once I started writing software, I realized how important this would be.

Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has figured out a way to ensure that, as of tomorrow, technology won't create problems. Technology simply means increased power, which is why we have the global problems we face today.

Skin has become inadequate in interfacing with reality. Technology has become the body's new membrane of existence.

I forced myself to think what is the new concept and it became clear to me that it was risk, not only in technology and ecology, but in life and employment, too.

Despite our ever-connective technology, neither Skype nor Facebook - not even a telephone call - can come close to the joy of being with loved ones in person.

Technology requires knowledge and expertise more than it requires money.

Today, the technology is there to give early and normally ample warning when a powerful tornado approaches. When a tornado strikes, all of us are at risk.
