Flying cars are not a very efficient way to move things from one point to another.

There are people who don’t like capitalism, and people who don’t like PCs. But there’s no-one who likes the PC who doesn’t like Microsoft.

Let your Discourse with Men of Business be Short and Comprehensive.

You tell me: Can you live crushed under the weight of the present? Without a memory of the past and without the desire to look ahead to the future by building something, a future, a family? Can you go on like this? This, to me, is the most urgent problem that the Church is facing.

A lot of dumb pictures have made a lot of money, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to be anything cinema students will revel over in the future.

You can’t say civilization don’t advance… in every war they kill you in a new way.

Time is bunk.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Literally wrote ‚Starboy‘ in 30 minutes.

Connectivity is a human right.

Everywhere I go I find that people… both leaders and individuals… are asking one basic question, ‚Is there any hope for the future?‘ My answer is the same, ‚Yes, through Jesus Christ.‘

I didn’t used to wear a watch. Now I have a SPOT watch, which I wear all the time.

Good ideas are free – or at least they should be.

We polled Tesla owners, do you want autopilot disabled or not. Not one person wanted it disabled. That’s pretty telling.

At Facebook, we build tools to help people connect with the people they want and share what they want, and by doing this we are extending people’s capacity to build and maintain relationships.

I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.

Government isn’t that good at rapid advancement of technology. It tends to be better at funding basic research. To have things take off, you’ve got to have commercial companies do it.

It’s pretty hard to be efficient without being obnoxious.

Once the automobile appeared you could have predicted that it would destroy as many people as it did.

Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power to that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.

Make measurable progress in reasonable time.

The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.

Partition is bad. But whatever is past is past. We have only to look to the future.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.

I just think that VR and AR are going to be a really big deal.

The future influences the present just as much as the past.

The potential financial reward for building the ‚next Windows‘ is so great that there will never be a shortage of new technologies seeking to challenge it.

If you’re not failing every now and again, it’s a sign you’re not doing anything very innovative.

On 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.

We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.

Any version of Windows is going to have lots of great new things that people use and things that are tough.

Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket – half a million dollars. It can be done.

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.

When I speak at my local church, which I try to do 35 to 40 times a year, I try in every lesson to take the Old Testament text or New Testament text and apply them to what is happening to me or how that applies to the audience that I’m teaching in a modern, fast-changing, technological world. I use headlines, interfaith and that sort of thing.

I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards; I thought that was great for years.

The reality is gas prices should be much more expensive then they are because we’re not incorporating the true damage to the environment and the hidden costs of mining oil and transporting it to the U.S. Whenever you have an unpriced externality, you have a bit of a market failure, to the degree that eternality remains unpriced.

I wanted in my lifetime to vote for a radical Native American woman, since my vision of any future that we might have is that it will be led by women and older women.

You cannot make a giant space company in your dorm room. Not today. And the reason is that the heavy lifting infrastructure isn’t in place.

Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.

The tool that’s most associated with the recent progress against malaria is the long-lasting bed net. Bed nets are a fantastic innovation. But we can do even better. We can invent new ways to control the mosquitoes that carry the malaria parasite.

I think every age lives in a blend of technology so there’s always older ones mixed in with newer ones, and when the new technology goes down, the immediate fallback position is either that technology just before that or one several technologies back.

In California, we have some of the strongest consumer protection laws in the country. While it is easy to conceive of innovation and regulation as mutually exclusive, California is proof that we can do both. We can innovate responsibly.

I’ve got nothing against records – I’ve spent my life making them – but they are a kind of historical blip.

I pay attention to politics and technology.

Computers double their performance every month.

There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.

I desire no future that will break the ties with the past.

In the history of medicine, it is not always the great scientist or the learned doctor who goes forward to discover new fields, new avenues, new ideas.

I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future.

The humanists‘ replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you’ll either save yourself or you’ll be immortal. Of course, that’s a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there’s no ethical progress whatsoever.

People use technology only to mean digital technology. Technology is actually everything we make.

You hear doom and gloom about the Internet ruining young people’s command of English – that’s nonsense.

Fuel prices are at the center of our lives. They affect our ability to travel, stay warm, and feed ourselves.

It is natural to want to have a future.

We’ve gotta become the Martians. I’m a Martian – I tell you to become Martians. And we’ve gotta go to Mars and civilize Mars and build a whole civilization on Mars and then move out, 300 years from now into the universe. And when we do that, we have a chance of living forever.

Digital reading will completely take over. It’s lightweight and it’s fantastic for sharing. Over time it will take over.

As our case is new, we must think and act anew.

I’ve discovered this new electronic technique that creates new speech out of stuff that’s already there.

The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
