Quotes by Technology All the big ideas for getting us onto a lower carbon trajectory involve a lot of people doing a lot of work, and that's been missing from the conversation. This is a great time to go to the next step and ask, well, who's going to do the work? Who's going to invest in the new technologies? What are ways to get communities wealth, improved health, and expanded job opportunities out of this improved transition? Van Jones technologyworkjobs The director of the institute where I was working apologized about these young, enthusiastic researchers when the World Bank visited because he was afraid the institute would lose the World Bank consultancies.I went back home and started the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecologyan extremely elaborate name for the tiny institute that I started in my mothers cow shed. My parents handed over family resources and said, Put them to public purpose. Thats how I survived. Vandana Shiva technologymotherhome The main piece of technology in the green economy is a caulk gun. Van Jones climatetechnologygun The best and most evolved technologies are those that do not destroy the very base on which we live Vandana Shiva technologybusinessmanagement We need to aim high - in the area of 20-25 percent - to create the urgent demand for new technologies, manufacturing plants and green jobs. Van Jones technologyjobsneeds The more we deploy the technologies to capture wind and solar power, the cheaper those technologies become. Van Jones capturetechnologywind Government needs to do two things: put a price on carbon and invest heavily in new technologies. Van Jones technologygovernmenttwo Unfortunately, we have a 50% unemployment rate among our urban youth of color. It's not about making green jobs more attractive. It's about making them more available. And that requires Congress passing legislation that will give a real break to the people who want to introduce new technologies to the American marketplace. Van Jones technologyrealjobs I was a pen pal with one guy, a long time ago. I think we only wrote to each other twice. We didn't really keep it up that long. But, I love it. I think it's really sweet and very creative and freeing, when you get to put a pen to paper, 'cause you don't really do it that much these days, with all this technology. Vanessa Hudgens technologysweetthinking There would be a cost for dumping carbon into our atmosphere and a cap on total emissions. The government must make a clear and firm decision - terminating the idea in our society it is free to pump infinite amounts of carbon into the air. Once that happens, private capital will flow even more aggressively into developing and deploying the alternative, less-polluting technologies. Van Jones technologygovernmentair We're just trying to end illegitimate government support for a single technology, which is un-American. We should be leading the world in the next generation of technological innovation. But we can't unleash private capital because of what the government is doing to stifle innovation and to choke competition. Van Jones supporttechnologygovernment Sometimes we overemphasize the political system. There are other ways to make a difference. There's technology, there's media, there's business. Van Jones differencesmediatechnology The book is here to stay. What we're doing is symbolic of the peaceful coexistence of the book and the computer. Vartan Gregorian technologypeacebook So much technology, so little talent. Vernor Vinge talenttechnologylittles Here I had tried a straightforward extrapolation of technology, and found myself precipitated over an abyss. It's a problem we face every time we consider the creation of intelligences greater than our own. When this happens, human history will have reached a kind of singularity - a place where extrapolation breaks down and new models must be applied - and the world will pass beyond our understanding. Vernor Vinge technologyunderstandingworld I have argued above that we cannot prevent the Singularity, that its coming is an inevitable consequence of the humans natural competitiveness and the possibilities inherent in technology. Vernor Vinge possibilitytechnologynatural Often what is nearest is hardest of all to see - try asking a fish to define water. Distance opens a door to revelation. When the first great distances of space were conquered by technology, a camera altered the human perspective on the Earth as radically as Galileo did when he proved the sun was the center of the universe. The ecology movement was born from a photographically altered consciousness. Vicki Goldberg distancetechnologydoors Well, technology is supposed to make life better," she says. "No matter what you believe, there's a technology out there for you. Veronica Roth technologymatterbelieve The United States military is now evolving geometrically as it gains experience from near-constant fighting and grafts new technology daily. Indeed, it seems to be doubling, tripling, and even quadrupling its lethality every few years. And the result is that we are outdistancing not merely the capabilities of our enemies but our allies as well - many of whom who have not fought in decades - at such a dizzying pace that our sheer destructive power makes it hard to work with others in joint operations. Victor Davis Hanson technologyfightingmilitary From your results I have determined that you are one of the strongest Divergent, which I say not to compliment you but to explain my purpose. If I am to develop a simulation that cannot be thwarted by the Divergent mind, I must study the strongest Divergent mind in order to shore up all weaknesses in the technology.
