Warren Farrell mbatechnologymen We must move from ... the primacy of technology toward considerations of social justice and equity, from the dictates of organizational convenience toward the aspirations ofself realization and learning, from authoritarianism and dogmatism toward more participation, from uniformity and centralization toward diversity and pluralism, from the concept of work as hard and unavoidable, from life as nasty, brutish, and short toward work as purpose and self~fulfillment, a recognition of leisure as a valid activity in itself.

Dosick videotechnologytelevision I am now obsessed with the technology of the body. I think it's the most technologically literate thing that we have. Wayne McGregor technologymotivationinspiration The good news is we are seeing an incredible surge in non-animal technologies in laboratories. With researchers using stem cells, visually impaired people may one day have new corneas and lenses grown from their own cells.

Wayne Pacelle technologycellsanimal Our colonizers have taught us to believe that our health has improved because of Western medicine, Western foods, and Western technology.
