I might love my e-reader, but I’d never pass up the chance to browse real books.

Imagination is not, as some poets have thought, simply synonymous with good. It may be either good or evil. As long as art remained primarily mimetic, the evil which imagination could do was limited by...

History’s greatest composers would be appalled to hear their greatest works reduced to distorted hold music for businesses.

Western society has accepted as unquestionable a technological imperative that is quite as arbitrary as the most primitive taboo: not merely the duty to foster invention and constantly to create technological novelties, but equally the...

We may well find that if we are to fulfill God’s mandate on earth, we will need to communicate less often so we can communicate more. We will need to forsake the ease and the...

We don?t deal with technology that?s currently available, unless it?s one that we developed.

Someday, it will be hard to remember why we were once so fired up about 3G connectivity and the wonders of mobile broadband. Seamless, lightning-fast connectedness will be a given everywhere on Earth, and today’s...

Technologies of the soul tend to be simple, bodily, slow and related to the heart as much as the mind. Everything around us tells us we should be mechanically sophisticated, electronic, quick, and informational in...

[It just goes to show that technology investors aren’t sure which way to turn. Or to quote] All Along the Watchtower … There’s too much confusion. I can’t get no relief.

New Rule: Apple’s next device must be a computer that you control with your tongue. Thanks for eliminating the keyboard and the mouse, but pointing and pushing at things already seems too complicated and tiring....

Technology feeds on itself. Technology makes more technology possible.

Even the technology that promises to unite us, divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel utterly alone.

What will we be doing, when everything that can be done, can be done better by robots?

Everyone knows that the Internet is changing our lives, mostly because someone in the media has uttered that exact phrase every single day since 1993. However, it certainly appears that the main thing the Internet...

The sensitive person’s hostility to the machine is in one sense unrealistic, because of the obvious fact that the machine has come to stay. But as an attitude of mind there is a great deal...

People degrade themselves in order to make machines seem smart all the time.

I don’t think anybody knows exactly what the end result of open sourcing the chip technology is.

We had a 19th century valve, and I guess we needed 21st century technology to get it out of there.

Human perfection and technical perfection are incompatible. If we strive for one, we must sacrifice the other: there is, in any case, a parting of the ways. Whoever realises this will do cleaner work one...

In technology, I think the semiconductors, semiconductor equipment makers, and the companies that sell you electronic gear look attractive.

We are at the dawn of a technological arms race, an arms race between people who are using technology for good and those who are using it for ill.

We live in a world of constant noise which captures our minds even when we are not aware of it

These devices only became very popular after all of this technology was hidden behind a red button that did it all

The civilized man is technologically ahead of — intellectually behind — his time.

It happens to us all. We drink too much, take one too many hits of acid, proposition the wrong prostitute and end up by the side of some freeway, disheveled and disoriented.

Even a small amount of unplanned downtime can effect a company’s profitability and reputation.

P15 – Our advanced technological society is rapidly making objects of us and subtly programming us into conformity to the logic of its system to the degree that this happens, we are also becoming submerged...

We’re reaching the point where the Earth will have to end the burden we’ve placed on her, if we don’t lift the burden ourselves.

Cornet Technology has an impressive depth of understanding in transportation surveillance solutions and working with state and local agencies. We are excited about how Cornet Technology will now apply intelligent video to improve safety and...

To live in modernity–an era contemporaneous with the triumph of the news–is to be constantly reminded that, thanks to science and technology, change and improvement are continuous and relentless. This is part of the reason...

We have proved that India is neither a proliferation threat nor an exporter of sensitive nuclear or missile technology. This cannot be said to be true of all parties to the NPT,

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

It’s just like looking at a small TV. I’ve seen a lot of early technology, but this really amazed me.

Technology for patient-specific embryonic stem cells belongs to South Korea. And you will find out that this is true.

If Amazon’s dream of a world without gatekeepers becomes reality, then the company itself will become a powerful gatekeeper.

There is also a trilogy of books out. I started reading right after Christmas Divergent. I went to read Insurgent after, and now I’m on the third one. I don’t know, it’s Detergent or whatever....
