Quotes by Technology I suspect there could be life and intelligence out there in forms we can't conceive. Just as a chimpanzee can't understand quantum theory, it could be there as aspects of reality that are beyond the capacity of our brains They could be staring us in the face and we just Don't recognise them. The problem is that we-re looking for something very much like us, assuming that they at least have something like the same mathematics and technology. Martin Rees technologymoonreality I'm a technological optimist in that I do believe that technology will provide solutions that will allow the world in 2050 to support 9 billion people at an acceptable standard of living. But I'm a political pessimist in that I am concerned about whether the science will be appropriately applied. Martin Rees technologybelievepeople The essence of technology is by no means anything technological. Martin Heidegger technologyessencemean So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it. Martin Heidegger technologymasterslong If you ask what keeps me up at night, it's the pressure in the system forcing us to do all sorts of things. Content, data and technology are forcing us to think about business in a very different way. Martin Sorrell technologynightthinking Technology will have moved on to an unimaginable level in ten years. Martin Sorrell moved-ontechnologyyears All space projects push the frontiers of technology and are drivers of innovation. Martin Rees innovationtechnologyspace Nobody thinks about technical issues anymore because cameras or camera phones take care of that automatically. On the other hand, you still have the option of controlling every technical aspect. It's the most accessible, democratic medium available in the world. Martin Parr phonestechnologythinking In this century, not only has science changed the world faster than ever, but in new and different ways. Targeted drugs, genetic modification, artificial intelligence, perhaps even implants into our brains - may change human beings themselves. Martin Rees drugtechnologybrain I feel like I veer more away from technology than toward it. I'm a little scared of the direction we're going, to be honest. It feels like a sci-fi novel from the '50s, the way we can control everything and the solitude we each have in our own little bubbles, and yet we feel like we have social interactions. We're moving in a weird direction, at least. Martin Starr technologysolitudemoving The extreme sophistication of modern technology - wonderful though its benefits are - is, ironically, an impediment to engaging young people with basics: with learning how things work. Martin Rees benefitstechnologypeople In our interconnected world, novel technology could empower just one fanatic, or some weirdo with a mindset of those who now design computer viruses, to trigger some kind of disaster. Indeed, catastrophe could arise simply from technical misadventure - error rather than terror. Martin Rees designerrorstechnology If people were able to be convinced that art is precise advance knowledge of how to cope with the psychic and social consequences of the next technology, would they all become artists? Marshall McLuhan psychicstechnologyart The combination of professionalism and technology may also result in narrow-minded specialization more suited to a debating society than to an organization whose task it is to cope with, and indeed live in, the dangerous and uncertain environment of war. Martin Van Creveld technologymilitarywar Typography is not only a technology but is in itself a natural resource or staple, like cotton or timber or radio; and, like any staple, it shapes not only private sense ratios but also Marshall McLuhan patternstechnologyshapes And there are some - Bernie [Ecclestone] and others - who are embracing new technologies. When Sky UK started to broadcast there was an argument that audience would come down because it is pay TV. But the actual quality of the production and the use of technology and the engagement of the viewer is much better than it ever was. The product is simply better. Martin Sorrell qualitytechnologysky The spoken word was the first technology by which man was able to let go of his environment in order to grasp it in a new way. Marshall McLuhan technologyletting-gomen The technology is already incredible and will improve massively in the next few years. Think about what you could do. Martin Sorrell technologyyearsthinking The new media and technologies by which we amplify and extend ourselves constitute huge collective surgery carried out on the social body with complete disregard for antiseptics. Marshall McLuhan mediatechnologybody First, creating moving-image particles using MoCap technology requires a very complex and long production pipeline. Moreover, rendering these particles takes a lengthy amount of time. Martine Epoque creatingtechnologymoving«143144145146147148149150151152153»
