Quotes by Technology I'm as far away from technology as possible. But I like to be as present as possible. Beau Garrett far-awaytechnology Technology was something I avoided when I started out - I didn't even have electric guitars. Only played acoustic. Beck acousticsguitartechnology Technology was something I avoided when I started out - I didn't even have electric guitars. Only played acoustic. But after a while, I realized that it's important to embrace things that are available in your time, and try to do something different with them. Beck technologyimportanttrying When you use some of the more modern recording devices and Pro Tools, when you get into the technology, you are aching to get into some territory. Beck technologytoolsuse The irony is palpable - technical access has never been greater, cultural access never weaker. Beeban Kidron ironygreatertechnology The U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost. Ben Bernanke technologygovernmentwish Like gold, U.S. dollars have value only to the extent that they are strictly limited in supply. But the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost. By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services. Ben Bernanke technologygovernmentnumbers Inflation is certainly low and stable and, measured in unemployment and labour-market slack, the economy has made a lot of progress. The pace of growth is disappointingly slow, mostly because productivity growth has been very slow, which is not really something amenable to monetary policy. It comes from changes in technology, changes in worker skills and a variety of other things, but not monetary policy, in particular. Ben Bernanke progressgrowthtechnology The American people are among the most productive in the world. We have the best technologies. We have - great universities. We have entrepreneurs. Ben Bernanke entrepreneurtechnologypeople Over the years, the U.S. economy has shown a remarkable ability to absorb shocks of all kinds, to recover, and to continue to grow. Flexible and efficient markets for labor and capital, an entrepreneurial tradition, and a general willingness to tolerate and even embrace technological and economic change all contribute to this resiliency. Ben Bernanke technologychangeyears If you say interesting stuff on twitter, people will follow you there. I think Jim Caruso, from MediaFirst, does this well. He’s been at every single technology event I’ve ever attended in Atlanta for the last 10 years. He knows what’s going on. He’s a technology geek at heart... And he’s on twitter, tweeting about local startups, global technology news, and of course, his own clients. I follow him on twitter. Ben Chestnut technologyheartthinking You have the mainstream bourgeois life of the U.S., Europe, the "developed" world - the life of technology, education, mortgages, careers, a certain level of physical comfort - while on the other hand, several billion people on the planet exist on less than a dollar a day. That's a huge and terrible reality to get your head around. Ben Fountain technologyhandsreality It's impracticable to halt the exponential advancement of technology. Ben Goertzel advancementtechnologyhalt The primary thing that any technology startup must do is build a product that's at least 10 times better at doing something than the current prevailing way of doing that thing. Two or three times better will not be good enough to get people to switch to the new thing fast enough or in large enough volume to matter. Ben Horowitz technologytwopeople The click [of a light switch] is the modern triumphal clarion proceeding us through life, announcing our entry into every lightless room. Ben Katchor technologylightrooms Spelling is a way to make words safe, at least for now, until another technology appears to soften attacks launched from the mouth. Ben Marcus technologysafemouths To me one of the amazing technologies of writing is the way it can listen in on thoughts. I don't feel that that's natural to other art forms in the same way. Ben Marcus technologywritingart The big reason why we don't have space colonies and regular trips to the moon is that flying into outer space is just plain 'hard.' The business of safely transporting people off the Earth is a costly affair that requires a lot of technology. Ben Parr technologyspacemoon Social networking technology didn't really exist until 2004-2005. I had the idea to use this technology to bridge this gap between a general interest in addressing social issues and the practical action. Ben Rattray technologybridgesideas I'm a total luddite when it comes to technology. Pretending I know how to use a computer is a challenge.
