Quotes by Technology Although I think it is wonderful to have the whole world of music available in something that small and to have it conveyed with such fidelity almost straight into the brain, I think the technology is also a danger. Oliver Sacks technologybrainthinking If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner. Omar N. Bradley advancementtechnologymilitary Our technology has already outstripped our ability to control it. Omar N. Bradley abilitytechnology Like any great art, the culture of hip-hop has changed with the times. With the state of technology, music is more accessible and freely exchanged. For hip-hop to grow while keeping a sense of integrity, the essence of the culture has to be handed down and respected like any high form of art. One9 technologyintegrityart I think there are all kinds of intrusions into private rights that make use of contemporary technology. Noam Chomsky technologyrightsthinking Technology can also be used so that private individuals will have access to the way centralized decisions are being made. Noam Chomsky technologydecisionway Long before the technology revolution there was declassification of documents and I've spent quite a lot of time studying declassified internal documents and written a lot about them. In fact, anybody who's worked through the declassified record can see very clearly that the reason for classification is very rarely to protect the state or the society from enemies. Most of the time it is to protect the state from its citizens, so they don't know what the government is doing. Noam Chomsky technologygovernmentlong The link between literacy and revolutions is a well-known historical phenomenon. The three great revolutions of modern European history -- the English, the French and the Russian -- all took place in societies where the rate of literacy was approaching 50 per cent. Literacy had a profound effect on the peasant mind and community. It promotes abstract thought and enables the peasant to master new skills and technologies, Which in turn helps him to accept the concept of progress that fuels change in the modern world. Orlando Figes technologyskillsprofound ...a nation could change its way of life, its history, its technology, its art, literature, and culture, but it would never have a real chance to change its gestures. Orhan Pamuk technologyrealart Microsoft is engaging in unlawful predatory practices that go well beyond the scope of fair competition. Orrin Hatch competitiontechnologypractice I was attracted by the curve — the liberated, sensual curve suggested by the possibilities of new technology yet so often recalled in venerable old baroque churches. Oscar Niemeyer curvestechnologysensual The development of space technology, including space warfare today, is similar in its technological-industrial significance to the development of navies a hundred years ago. Noam Chomsky technologyspaceyears Oscar Pistorius is on the cusp of a paradigm shift in which disability becomes ability, disadvantage becomes advantage. Yet we mustn't lose sight of what makes an athlete great. It's too easy to credit Pistorius' success to technology. Through birth or circumstance, some are given certain gifts, but it's what one does with those gifts, the hours devoted to training, the desire to be the best, that is at the true heart of a champion. Oscar Pistorius technologyathleteheart If today's arts love the machine, technology and organization, if they aspire to precision and reject anything vague and dreamy, this implies an instinctive repudiation of chaos and a longing to find the form appropriate to our times. Oskar Schlemmer technologyorganizationart In a way, being a Mormon prepares you to deal with science fiction, because we live simultaneously in two very different cultures. The result is that we all know what it's like to be strangers in a strange land. It's not just a coincidence that there are so many effective Mormon science fiction writers. We don't regard being an alien as an alien experience. But it also means that we're not surprised when people don't understand what we're saying or what we think. Orson Scott Card technologysciencemean You grow the fastest by getting... adopting ideas and technologies from other cultures. And that has been proven in history, time and time again. Whether you go back to the ancient Persians, or the Romans, or the Ottomans. It's how a culture grows, by incorporating other ideas and going, wow, how did they do this? Oh, I bet you this works with this, and then you can improve it again. So I think any culture that sort of says, no no no, it's just us, nobody gets in anymore, it's the beginning of atrophy, and the rest of the world will just pass you. Ottmar Liebert technologyworldthinking The possibility of interpersonal communication has increased substantially with contemporary technology. But as compared with the major changes, which were long ago, these are not huge. Noam Chomsky long-agocommunicationtechnology Human beings do metamorphose. They change their identity constantly. However, each new identity thrives on the delusion that it was always in possession of the body it has just conquered. Orson Scott Card technologybodyidentity Human needs are served by a sustainable lifestyle, almost by definition, if humans include coming generations. And a shift to such technologies as high-speed rail instead of maximizing fossil fuel use, and solar energy, is not "relentless resource extraction." Noam Chomsky technologyenergyneeds Its true that contemporary technology permits decentralization, it also permits centralization. It depends on how you use the technology.
