The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.
Barack ObamaWhen I stop working the rest of the day is posthumous. I’m only really alive when I’m writing.
Tennessee WilliamsInnovation is moving at a scarily fast pace.
Bill GatesI like to work.
Abby Lee MillerI’m always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven’t thought of doing yet.
Brian EnoFacebook is in a very different place than Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and Microsoft. We are trying to build a community.
Mark ZuckerbergI do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
Isaac AsimovWe are not even close to finishing the basic dream of what the PC can be.
Bill GatesWe know that the nation that goes all-in on innovation today will own the global economy tomorrow. This is an edge America cannot surrender.
Barack ObamaIf that’s there, I believe that technology will probably step up to their part of it.
Neil ArmstrongI’m very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
Brian EnoThere is a difference between what technology enables and what historical business practices enable.
Bill GatesThe world has today 546 nuclear plants generating electricity. Their experience is being continuously researched, and feedback should be provided to all. Nuclear scientists have to interact with the people of the nation, and academic institutions continuously update nuclear power generation technology and safety.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamThe desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That’s over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it’s going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.
Steve JobsWell, I thought the deal was, when you went to work for the government you weren’t supposed to make money!
Joe BidenGames is probably the biggest industry today that has gone really social, right. I mean, the incumbent game companies are really being disrupted and are quickly trying to become social. And you have companies like Zynga.
Mark ZuckerbergThe technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.
George LucasMove fast with stable infrastructure.
Mark ZuckerbergI’ve discovered this new electronic technique that creates new speech out of stuff that’s already there.
Brian EnoThere is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
Stephen HawkingThere is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It’s a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you ‚play‘ with them!
Richard P. FeynmanI think New York has evolved in my work just the way the city has.
Paul AusterHow do people relate to movies now, when they’re on portable devices or streaming them? It’s not as much about going to the movies. That experience has changed.
Keanu ReevesSometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look.
Dan QuayleWork alone is noble.
Thomas CarlylePlease don’t make the mistake of thinking that ‚Oryx and Crake‘ is anti-science. Science is a way of knowing, and a tool. Like all ways of knowing and tools, it can be turned to bad uses. And it can be bought and sold, and it often is. But it is not in itself bad. Like electricity, it’s neutral.
Margaret AtwoodWork is making a living out of being bored.
Karl LagerfeldI love good, loud speakers.
Brian EnoAfter ten years of word processing, I can’t even do hand writing anymore.
Douglas AdamsForces that you might think are utterly unrelated to creativity can have a big impact. Technology, obviously, but environment, too. Even financial structures can affect the actual content of a song. The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.
David ByrneI think the definition of a book is changing.
Jeff BezosI worked at the Steel Company Of Wales when I was 17. My job was to supply tools to the guys working the blast furnaces.
Anthony HopkinsI’m never fully satisfied with any Microsoft product.
Bill GatesWe have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
Carl SaganWe must ensure that technology is accessible, affordable, and adds value.
Narendra ModiWhat I like to do is try to make a difference with the work I do.
David BowieDigital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.
George LucasIf GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 MPG.
Bill GatesThe engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don’t understand the software parts of it. And so you really can’t make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple’s the only company that has everything under one roof.
Steve JobsEarly on, when I was quite young and going from job to job, I was foolish enough to sometimes speak to my fellow workers: ‚Hey, the boss can come in here at any moment and lay all of us off, just like that, don’t you realize that?‘ They would just look at me. I was posing something that they didn’t want to enter their minds.
Charles BukowskiI get asked a lot why Apple’s customers are so loyal. It’s not because they belong to the Church of Mac! That’s ridiculous.
Steve JobsI can’t say that my disability has helped my work, but it has allowed me to concentrate on research without having to lecture or sit on boring committees.
Stephen HawkingFor NASA, space is still a high priority.
Dan QuayleWe’re already cyborgs. Your phone and your computer are extensions of you, but the interface is through finger movements or speech, which are very slow.
Elon MuskWe’ve arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
Carl SaganAfter an era of everything being super-sized, who would have thought that major companies would be racing to market smaller, lower-calorie versions of their snacks and beverages – from half-sized candy bars to little, mini soda cans? We see it everywhere we go.
Michelle ObamaMen cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade.
John RuskinMy work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist.
Lady GagaThe Oklahoma City bombing was simple technology, horribly used. The problem is not technology. The problem is the person or persons using it.
Billy GrahamYou will never fulfill your destiny doing work you despise.
John C. MaxwellElectronic books are junk.
Ray BradburyOnce the automobile appeared you could have predicted that it would destroy as many people as it did.
Ray BradburyConnectivity is a human right.
Mark ZuckerbergIn the early days of the military Arpanet, my daughter was studying in Nicaragua. Because the U.S. was essentially at war with them, contact was difficult. I managed to use MIT’s Arpanet connection, and she found one, so we could communicate thanks to the Pentagon!
Noam ChomskyNothing is so discouraging to an actor than to have to work for long hours upon hours in brightly lighted interior sets.
John WayneMan is a tool-using animal. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.
Thomas CarlyleOn my desk I have three screens, synchronized to form a single desktop. I can drag items from one screen to the next. Once you have that large display area, you’ll never go back, because it has a direct impact on productivity.
Bill GatesOur life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
Mother TeresaReally advanced civilization is based on advances in energy.
Bill GatesI hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren’t consumed by technology and television.
Jimmy Buffett
