Quotes by Technology We're an elective democracy where science and technology will define where the economically strong countries in the world will be. And science and technological literacy is important for security, as well. Neil deGrasse Tyson technologystrongcountry Technologies for stimulating the brain and controlling the mind can have benefits, but they have a dark side that military and intelligence planners have been exploiting for decades Nick Begich technologymilitarydark In the next century, we will be inventing radical new technologies - machine intelligence, perhaps nanotech, great advances in synthetic biology and other things we haven't even thought of yet. And those new powers will unlock wonderful opportunities, but they might also bring with them certain risks. And we have no track record of surviving those risks. So if there are big existential risks, I think they are going to come from our own activities and mostly from our own inventiveness and creativity. Nick Bostrom creativitytechnologyopportunity The greatest existential risks over the coming decades or century arise from certain, anticipated technological breakthroughs that we might make in particular, machine super intelligence, nanotechnology and synthetic biology. Each of these has an enormous potential for improving the human condition by helping cure disease, poverty, etc. But one could imagine them being misused, used to create powerful weapon systems, or even some kind of accidental destructive scenario, where we suddenly are in possession of some technology that's far more powerful than we are able to control or use wisely. Nick Bostrom risktechnologypowerful It’s unlikely that any of those natural hazards will do us in within the next 100 years if we’ve already survived 100,000. By contrast, we are introducing, through human activity, entirely new types of dangers by developing powerful new technologies. We have no record of surviving those. Nick Bostrom technologypowerfulyears There are some problems that technology can't solve. Nick Bostrom solvetechnologyproblem I don't feel like a different person. My motivation has always been to do technology apps and companies, not making money. Just because the money's come, nothing's changed. Nick D'Aloisio technologymotivationdifferent The further you get into technology, the further you go into gaming. That's the general rule. Nick Johnson gaminggamertechnology It's not that any sufficiently advanced technology is magic, it's that any technology taking place beyond the threshold of our senses is. Nick Harkaway thresholdmagictechnology Scientists tell us that we have enough technology to save our planet. . . . Yet we don't take advantage of this new technology. . . . The technological has to work hand-in-hand with the spiritual. Our spiritual life is the element that can bring about the energies of peace, calm, brotherhood, understanding, and compassion. Without that, our planet doesn't stand a chance. Nhat Hanh technologycompassionspiritual I think that laziness in many ways is the human condition, and that's what has led us to this place where, as we've developed technology. Nick Offerman technologylazinessthinking I'm fascinated with genetic science, and I have been for a very long time. I always look at science and technology because I think that the developments in my lifetime have been so remarkable - and we're only at the tip of the iceberg with projects like decoding the human genome. Nick Rhodes technologylongthinking Maybe we have enough technology to save the planet but it is not enough because the people are not ready. Nhat Hanh technologyenoughpeople Science that abdicates its cultural values risks being perceived as an extension of technology, an instrument in the hands of political or economic power. Humanity that disavows science risks falling into the hands of superstition. Nicola Cabibbo technologyhandsfall I use technology for communication, but I don't have a Blackberry or an iPhone. I use an outdated cell phone, but I'm fine with it. Nicolas Cage iphonecommunicationtechnology I'm not really gadget oriented. I'm not into technology or computers. I'm not good at interfacing with that sort of gear. Nicolas Cage gadgetsgearstechnology Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true. Niels Bohr technologycrazyscience Technology has advanced more in the last thirty years than in the previous two thousand. The exponential increase in advancement will only continue. Anthropological Commentary The opposite of a trivial truth is false; the opposite of a great truth is also true. Niels Bohr technologyoppositesyears It's always a pleasure to imagine an idea and work alongside a brand like G-Shock to make it a reality. G-Shock continues to push the bar with design and technology and that inspires me to do the same with my riding and visuals. Nigel Sylvester technologyrealityideas The telephone is a 100-year-old technology. It's time for a change. Charging for phone calls is something you did last century.
