Quotes by Technology In popular books and articles, information technology writer Carr has worried over the ways that algorithms like those employed by Google are reshaping the ways we think. Nicholas G. Carr technologybookthinking The Internet, like all intellectual technologies has a trade off. As we train our brains to use it, as we adapt to the environment of the internet, which is an environment of kind of constant immersion and information and constant distractions, interruptions, juggling lots of messages, lots of bits of information. Nicholas G. Carr technologyintellectualbrain So many people have that kind of attitude and approach to learning that it gives me great hope for the world. I say hope in the sense that innovations in science and technology will be the engines of a 21st century economy and I don't want to go broke, as a nation. So, the hope I have is that, if people embrace it, we'll have a healthier, more secure, wealthier nation than we have. Neil deGrasse Tyson technologyattitudepeople I think if you look back through the intellectual history of human beings you can trace the way that intellectual technologies influence the way we think. Nicholas G. Carr technologyintellectualthinking Today, no one would dispute that information technology has become the backbone of commerce. It underpins the operations of individual companies, ties together far-flung supply chains, and, increasingly, links businesses to the customers they serve. Hardly a dollar or a euro changes hands anymore without the aid of computer systems. Nicholas G. Carr technologytieshands The practicality of technology may distinguish it from art, but both spring from a similar, distinctly human yearning. Nicholas G. Carr technologyspringart All good technology should be used to piss off people's parents. Neil Gaiman technologyparentpeople Solar power is one of the most hopeful technologies but still produces about 0.01 percent of U.S. electricity. The U.S. allocates just $159 million for solar research per year - about what we spend in Iraq every nine hours. Nicholas D. Kristof iraqtechnologyyears Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living. Nicholas Negroponte computer-literacylearningtechnology Speaking as just simply an American who cares about the economic health of our country, I see one of the surest ways to bring wealth and prosperity to the country is to innovate in science and technology. Neil deGrasse Tyson who-carestechnologycountry It's not computer literacy that we should be working on, but sort of human-literacy. Computers have to become human-literate. Nicholas Negroponte computer-literacytechnologyshould What's going on is that our most fundamental ideas about life are not serving us. They never have. But now, with our advances in communication and technology, the situation has become critical - for our mechanisms have outrun our mentality. And so we find ourselves trying to solve the dilemmas of tomorrow with the solutions of yesterday. Neale Donald Walsch communicationtechnologyideas Science and medicine and technology have all produced the breathtaking advances with which they have gifted the human race, only because they have been willing to do what religion has consistently, staunchly, and stubbornly refused to do: question the prior assumption. Neale Donald Walsch medicinetechnologyrace In the world of computers and just devices in general, the lifespan, or the shelf life, is relatively short just because technology moves so fast and the costs drop so quickly and the power, whether it's computing power or memory rises very, very quickly. Nicholas Negroponte technologymemoriesmoving All the great advances in cinema came about from technology. The 3-D camera was not invented by a movie director. The new industries are driven by the innovations in science and technology. Neil deGrasse Tyson innovationcamerastechnology You innovate in ways that stoke your economy. Because innovations in science and technology are the engines of 21st century economies. Neil deGrasse Tyson innovationtechnologyway Spin-off technologies are changing the culture. Even if you don't become an engineer you could be a poet, a journalist, a lawyer, but you will be thinking innovation and your actions within society, who you vote for, what you value, all become a participant in an innovation economy. Neil deGrasse Tyson innovationtechnologythinking You could be a poet, an artist, a comedian - if you're in the culture of innovation then you embrace those who do and you're going to protect the science curriculum in the classroom because you understand the meaning and the value of it. And science discoveries don't scare you. You say, "Give me more science", not less. "Give me more technology", not less. Neil deGrasse Tyson technologyartistdiscovery The computer provides the only way to give students a real foundation in 21st-century skills. Nicholas Negroponte technologyskillsreal Enlightened self-interest from those involved in hydrocarbons should lead to the support of technologies enabling the clean use of hydrocarbons, such as carbon capture and storage, and not to the defence of deniers and cranks.
