Quotes by Technology The Commission endorses prevention as the principal strategy to use in deterring illegal entries. We applaud the efforts of innovative Border Patrol leaders such as Silvestre Reyes with Operation Hold the Line in El Paso. Operation Hold the Line demonstrated that a strategic use of personnel and technology can combine at our land border, as it has for many years at our airports, to reduce unauthorized crossings. Barbara Jordan airportstechnologyyears Images are made palpable, ironed flat by technology and, in turn, dictate the seemingly real through the representative. Barbara Kruger technologyrealmade What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up. Barbara Kruger technologyartistadd For belligerent purposes, the 14th century, like the 20th, commanded a technology more sophisticated than the mental and moral capacity that guided its use. Barbara Tuchman technologypurposeuse Our assaults on the ecosystem are so powerful, so numerous, so finely interconnected, that although the damage they do is clear, it is very difficult to discover how it was done. By which weapon? In whose hand? Are we driving the ecosphere to destruction simply by our growing numbers? By our greedy accumulation of wealth? Or are the machines which we have built to gain this wealth-the magnificent technology that now feeds us out of neat packages, that clothes us in man-made fibers, that surrounds us with new chemical creations-at fault? Barry Commoner technologypowerfulmen The environmental crisis is somber evidence of an insidious fraud hidden in the vaunted productivity and wealth of modern, technology-based society. This wealth has been gained by rapid short-term exploitation of the environmental system, but it has blindly accumulated a debt to nature-a debt so large and so pervasive that in the next generation it may, if unpaid, wipe out most of the wealth it has gained us. Barry Commoner environmentalgenerationstechnology What the new fertilizer technology has accomplished for the farmer is clear: more crop can be produced on less acreage than before. Since the cost of fertilizer, relative to the resultant gain in crop sales, is lower than that of any other economic input, and since the Land Bank pays the farmer for acreage not in crops, the new technology pays him well. The cost-in environmental degradation-is borne by his neighbors in town who find their water polluted. The new technology is an economic success-but only because it is an ecological failure. Barry Commoner technologylandwater All of the clean technologies are known, it's a question of simply applying them. Barry Commoner cleanknowntechnology Despite the dazzling successes of modern technology and the unprecedented power of modern military systems, they suffer from a common and catastrophic fault. While providing us with a bountiful supply of food, with great industrial plants, with high-speed transportation, and with military weapons of unprecedented power, they threaten our very survival. Barry Commoner survivaltechnologymilitary The age of innocent faith in science and technology may be over. Barry Commoner technologyagemay What is needed now is a transformation of the major systems of production more profound than even the sweeping post-World War II changes in production technology. Barry Commoner technologywarprofound World War II had a very important impact on the development of technology, as a whole. Barry Commoner impacttechnologywar It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance. Barry Commoner inheritancetechnologylaw Seen that way, the wholesale transformation of production technologies that is mandated by pollution prevention creates a new surge of economic development. Barry Commoner preventiontechnologydevelopment The gap between brute power and human need continues to grow, as the power fattens on the same faulty technology that intensifies the need. Barry Commoner gapstechnologyneeds Have we come all this way, I wondered, only to be dismantled by our own technologies, to be betrayed by political connivance or the impersonal avarice of a corporation? Barry Lopez politicaltechnologyrivers History is replete with examples of tech firms that were marginalized by new companies and technologies.
