Henry Mintzberg individualismtechnologycommunity We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first. Henry W. Bloch technologysoundideas What I really think is going to happen over time is technology is going to change the way we live for the good for the environment. George W. Bush technologywaythinking We really invented the genre of tracing family trees and going back as far as we could on the paper trail. When the paper trail disappeared, we used DNA analysis. The technology was just being invented that allowed you to trace ancestry through DNA. Henry Louis Gates technologydnatree The reality is that what you find out is that your head is the medicine.

Herbie Mann technologyrealitythinking I read somewhere that if you translated all the gadgets and technology in our houses to make our lives easier and save time, each of us would have the equivalent of 300 slaves, in Roman times.

Herbert technologycoffeetwo The laws of thermodynamics restrict all technologies, man's as well as nature's, and apply to all economic systems whether capitalist, communist, socialist, or fascist. We do not create or destroy (produce or consume) anything in a physical sense- we merely transform or rearrange.

Hermann von Helmholtz technologyperfectscience A total nuclear freeze is counterproductive - especially now, when technology is rapidly changing and the Soviets have some important strategic advantages. Herman Kahn nucleartechnologyimportant The capabilities (intellectual and material) of contemporary society are immeasurably greater than ever before - which means that the scope of society's domination over the individual is immeasurably greater than ever before. Our society distinguishes itself by conquering the centrifugal social forces with Technology rather than Terror, on the dual basis of an overwhelming efficiency and an increasing standard of living. Herbert Marcuse technologyintellectualmean Technology has developed to a whole other level and theres the scientist part of me that loves that stuff. Herbie Hancock levelstechnologystuff The liberating force of technology the instrumentalization of things turns into ... the instrumentalization of man.
