Quotes by Technology Contemporary technology could be used to eliminate ownership and management of corporations. It could be used to provide - lets say Apple computers. In principle information technology could be used to provide direct information to the work force on the ground so that they could democratically decide what the company would do, eliminating the role of management. It could be used for that. People aren't developing technology for that purpose. Noam Chomsky applestechnologypeople The Japanese don't write in alphabetic writing; they write in pictographs. So they never became visual, they stayed in the oral world, which is, everything is part of reality. Which means that they can accept any new technology - it's not threatening to them, and they can still continue to maintain their traditional culture, even in the face of high technology. Owsley Stanley technologywritingmean Like most technology, the internet has mixed effects. It's a neutral instrument. Noam Chomsky instrumentsinternettechnology We're looking at the dawn of a new arms race. For example, Germany technically opposes the US space militarization program, but is bound to get involved. Otherwise it will be left behind in the development of advanced technology. Germany understands that very well. The US understands it too, and they fully expect that Germany and other countries that they want on board will go along with the program. Noam Chomsky technologyspacecountry If cats understood technology and had opposable thumbs, they'd rule the world. P. C. Cast thumbscattechnology There is little doubt that a significant part of any serious solution will require advances of technology, but that can only be part of the solution. Other major changes are necessary. Noam Chomsky technologydoubtlittles NAFTA and GATT are quite similar. They both have highly protectionist elements. They're kind of a mixture of liberalization and protection designed to expand the power of transnational corporations. They're very basically investor's rights agreements. One crucial part in both is the "intellectual property right," which is a funny way of saying that corporations, like pharmaceutical companies, will have near-monopolistic rule over future technology. This now includes product as well as process rights. Noam Chomsky technologyagreementrights It's very clear that there are greater threats to these ships since, arguably, World War II. There are new technologies that can now reach them and make them harder to defend, such as anti-ship missiles, combined with space based tracking. The bigger issue, though, is who are gaining those capabilities. With what's going on with China and Russia, we are returning to geopolitical state-by-state competition. The Navy has not had to fight a peer for control of the sea since the Battle of Midway 75 years ago. P. W. Singer technologyfightingwar China is working on a similar system for its future carriers. Donald Trump may want to go back to 1920s-level technology, but the rest of the world isn't. P. W. Singer technologyworld [Internet] is kind of like a hammer. The technology itself doesn't determine how its used. It depends on the social, cultural and economic context in which the technology is made available.

Noam Chomsky technologytoolscoercion Technology can be used that way and it can also be used in other ways. Noam Chomsky usedtechnologyway Small changes can magnifiy. 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 It's always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it's always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades. Paddy Chayefsky memorial-daytechnologywar Most emerging markets are skipping web based technology and go straight to mobile Padmasree Warrior emerging-marketsmobiletechnology You go to a technology conference or an engineering conference, there are very few women there. At the same time it's a blessing in the fact that you do get noticed. People tend to remember you as the only woman in the room 'who said that', or the only woman in the room who was an engineer. Padmasree Warrior engineeringtechnologyblessing I'm thrilled to be joining Gap Inc., a company that understands the importance of integrating technology and retail in ways that improve the lives of its customers.

What matters is good connectivity, and as a technology provider, our job is to hide the complexity of the technology. Padmasree Warrior what-matterstechnologyjobs Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. Pablo Picasso technologywittyfunny I don't think that VR is going to lead to humanity being enslaved in the matrix or letting the world crumble around us. I think it's going to end up being a great technology that brings closer people together, that allows for better communication, that reduces a lot of environmental waste that we're currently doing in the real world. It's probably not going to be nearly as interesting as depicted in science fiction as far as the bad things go. Palmer Luckey communicationtechnologyreal«165166167168169170171172173174175»
