Quotes by Technology Experiments in digitizing and running neural wetware under emulation are well established; some radical libertarians claim that, as the technology matures, death with its draconian curtailment of property and voting rights will become the biggest civil rights issue of all. Charles Stross technologyrightsrunning Most established novelists are writing books informed by experiences gained in their youth. Middle age is not the best time to be changing smartphones every six months or adopting new technology platforms - because we tend to get slower and less accommodating to change as we age. Charles Stross technologywritingbook It's like all technology: either not powerful enough or too powerful. It will never do exactly what you want it to do. Charles Yu technologypowerfulwant If technology is a drug – and it does feel like a drug – then what, precisely, are the side-effects? Charlie Brooker drugtechnologydoe I'm actually quite pro-technology, but I'm a worrier, so I like to envision worst-case scenarios. Charlie Brooker worst-case-scenariocasestechnology Technology by default became the thing that was a new thing that had swept in and was altering it everything. Charlie Brooker new-thingsdefaulttechnology I'm more pro-technology than people probably realize. Charlie Brooker realizingtechnologypeople I'm quite geeky and I'm very much into video games and technology and stuff like that. Charlie Brooker videotechnologygames Technology isn't the villain and the people aren't often really the villain so much as they're weak. Charlie Brooker villaintechnologypeople I'm not some anti-technology person. I think it's often how people would assume that if they don't know me. Charlie Brooker technologypeoplethinking I really don't want to sound like overly negative or critical of the Internet in general because I'm actually really quite pro-technology. Charlie Brooker technologysoundnegative I think overseas viewers assume that Black Mirror is written by the Unabomber, essentially - a Luddite, technology-hating, angry old man waving his fist at the App Store. Charlie Brooker technologyhatemen I could worry about pretty much anything you put in front of me, so I'm not actually sort of anti-technology. So it doesn't sort of come out of that. It's not like a fear of the future. It's a fear of everything. Charlie Brooker fear-of-the-futuretechnologyworry Technology is a global thing and wherever you go, people are prodding the same devices and worrying in the same way and have had their lives slightly altered in the same way. Charlie Brooker technologyworrypeople People really don't understand the technology they're using. It's been talked about a lot. Apple products in particular are designed in such a way that's harder to get in and understand what processes are going on. Charlie Jane Anders applestechnologypeople Earlier, if you had a piece of technology, anyone could theoretically take it apart and put it back together again, and understand how it works. Some people would do that with the technology that they owned. It's not as easy to do that today. Most users wouldn't even think to do anything like that.

And one day, the people came to Warren and said, "They've invented a new loom that we think will do twice as much work as our old ones." Charlie Munger technologyrealthinking If the technology hadn't changed, they [newspapers] would still be great businesses. Network TV [in its heyday], anyone could run and do well. If Tom Murphy as running it, you'd do very well, but even your idiot nephew could do well. Fortunately, carbide cutting tools [such as those made by Iscar] don't have these types of substitutes.
