All of our exalted technological progress, civilization for that matter, is comparable to an axe in the hand of a pathological criminal. - Albert Einstein
All of the biggest technological inventions created by man – the airplane, the automobile, the computer – says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness. - Mark Kennedy
All this modern technology just makes people try to do everything at once. - Bill Watterson
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. - Arthur C. Clarke
Anything that is theoretically possible will be achieved in practice, no matter what the technical difficulties are, if it is desired greatly enough. - Arthur C. Clarke
Before you become too entranced with gorgeous gadgets and mesmerizing video displays, let me remind you that information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is not foresight. Each grows out of the other, and we need them all. - Arthur C. Clarke
Can you avoid knowledge? You cannot! Can you avoid technology? You cannot! Things are going to go ahead in spite of ethics, in spite of your personal beliefs, in spite of everything. - Jose M. R. Delgado
Flight from and hatred of technology is self-defeating. The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha – which is to demean oneself. - Robert M. Pirsig
History demonstrates that the advancement of technology is not a steady upward curve. There are flat periods, upwards spurts, and even reversals. - Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson
I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I’ve invented. - R. Buckminster Fuller
It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. - Albert Einstein
New technology is the true friend of full employment; the indispensable ally of progress; and the surest guarantee of prosperity. - Margaret Thatcher
Once a new technology rolls over you, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road. - Stewart Brand
Our entire much-praised technological progress, and civilization generally, could be compared to an axe in the hand of a pathological criminal. - Albert Einstein
Our technological powers increase, but the side effects and potential hazards also escalate. - Alvin Toffler
Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards. - Aldous Huxley
Technology feeds on itself. Technology makes more technology possible. - Alvin Toffler
Technology gives us power, but it does not and cannot tell us how to use that power. Thanks to technology, we can instantly communicate across the world, but it still doesn’t help us know what to say. - Jonathan Sacks
Technology is an inherent democratizer. Because of the evolution of hardware and software, you’re able to scale up almost anything. It means that in our lifetime everyone may have tools of equal power. - Sergey Brin
Technology is anything that wasn’t around when you were born. - Alan Kay
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important. - Bill Gates
Technology is the engine; the humanities are the steering wheel and the brakes. The humanities don't create nearly as much force for getting things done as technology does, but technology is just plain lousy at directing its energy or managing itself. - James Alan Garnder
Technology should have freed mankind from the burdens of life. Instead, it created new ones. - Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency. - Bill Gates
The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn’t think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential. - Steve Ballmer
There will always be humans, lots of them, who provide the data that makes the networked realization of any technology better and cheaper. - Jaron Lanier
We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. - Douglas Adams
