The world is not flat, and PCs are not, in the hierarchy of human needs, in the first five rungs.
Bill GatesThe two things in the world we all share in this world are laughter and pain. We’ve all got problems. The levels of those problems vary, but we’ve all got problems. When you can take things that are painful and make them funny, that’s a gift – to you and your audience.
Kevin HartThe computer brings out the worst in some people.
Brian EnoIf you think back to the beginning of cell phones, laptops or really any new technology, it’s always expensive.
Elon MuskMicrosoft has had two goals in the last 10 years. One was to copy the Mac, and the other was to copy Lotus‘ success in the spreadsheet – basically, the applications business. And over the course of the last 10 years, Microsoft accomplished both of those goals. And now they are completely lost.
Steve JobsI’m never on Twitter. I’m never on Instagram. And that’s not by choice: it’s just that those things never really interested me. I might post a picture here and there, but that ain’t really been my focus.
Kevin GatesI never thought, in my lifetime, that you’d be able to watch movies, read books and listen to music from a phone, but I guess the technology of tomorrow is here today.
Dolly PartonI’m a Silicon Valley guy. I just think people from Silicon Valley can do anything.
Elon MuskWe 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 SaganHe who obtains has little. He who scatters has much.
Lao TzuWe have soon to have everywhere smoke annihilators, dust absorbers, ozonizers, sterilizers of water, air, food and clothing, and accident preventers on streets, elevated roads and in subways. It will become next to impossible to contract disease germs or get hurt in the city, and country folk will got to town to rest and get well.
Nikola TeslaFor a dinner date, I eat light all day to save room, then I go all in: I choose this meal and this order, and I choose you, the person across from me, to share it with. There’s a beautiful intimacy in a meal like that.
Anthony BourdainFacebook is uniquely positioned to answer questions that people have, like, what sushi restaurants have my friends gone to in New York lately and liked? These are queries you could potentially do with Facebook that you couldn’t do with anything else, we just have to do it.
Mark ZuckerbergEven before Snapchat, you go back into my career from Day One or interview people that knew me for 25 years, they’re going to tell you I’ve been DJ Khaled my whole life.
DJ KhaledAs everything becomes digitized, there’s the idea that things that can’t be digitized become more valuable.
David ByrneA lot of times, I run a thought experiment: ‚If I were not at Facebook, what would I be doing to make the world more open?‘
Mark ZuckerbergI don’t think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn’t becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it’s very new to us. Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people ‚over the Internet.‘
Douglas AdamsI always wanted to be a Vine star. I wasn’t, thank God.
Billie EilishPointing is a metaphor we all know. We’ve done a lot of studies and tests on that, and it’s much faster to do all kinds of functions, such as cutting and pasting, with a mouse, so it’s not only easier to use but more efficient.
Steve JobsEvery dollar I made from DJing, I put into my videos, promotion – everything.
DJ KhaledI think we are at the dawn of a new era in commercial space exploration.
Elon MuskI can unload my opinion on anybody at anytime.
Anthony BourdainTo explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. ‚Tis much better to do a little with certainty & leave the rest for others that come after you.
Isaac NewtonThe internet has been a boon and a curse for teenagers.
J. K. RowlingWhat really turns me on about technology is not just the ability to get more songs on MP3 players. The revolution – this revolution – is much bigger than that. I hope, I believe. What turns me on about the digital age, what excites me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing.
BonoYou pick up some fans and a handful of haters along the way.
Bruno MarsWhat is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.
Salvador DaliPeople will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it’s cool.
Jeff BezosJesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.
Pope FrancisI know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you’re sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me – so am I.
Barack ObamaThe main Facebook usage is so big. About 20 percent of the time people spend on their phone is on Facebook.
Mark ZuckerbergTruth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.
Khalil GibranI think that the digital media are interesting enough in their own right to be worth originating something in.
Douglas AdamsWhat I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others.
DiogenesOur best thoughts come from others.
Ralph Waldo EmersonMuch of India that we dream of still lies ahead of us: housing, power, water and sanitation for all; bank accounts and insurance for every citizen; connected and prosperous villages; and, smart and sustainable cities.
Narendra ModiMicrosoft is not about greed. It’s about innovation and fairness.
Bill GatesTwitter is my bar. I sit at the counter and listen to the conversations, starting others, feeling the atmosphere.
Paulo CoelhoI’m glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That’s cool.
Elon MuskI don’t use Twitter for bad.
Kevin HartGovernment 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.
Elon MuskWhether it’s Google or Apple or free software, we’ve got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.
Bill GatesHow 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 ReevesWe just think that there are all these different ways that people want to share, and that compressing them all into a single blue app is not the right format of the future.
Mark ZuckerbergWhy don’t they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff.
Steven WrightGod has given us two hands – one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.
Billy GrahamGames 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 ZuckerbergI’m a Twitter addict. Jose Andres is a serial tweeter. It’s funny to see which chefs have embraced it, and the different paths they take.
Anthony BourdainYou can’t be in love with a Google search.
Taylor SwiftI don’t have a computer. A computer’s a typewriter. I already have a typewriter.
Ray BradburyI think right now it’s a battle for the mindshare of developers and for the mindshare of customers, and right now iPhone and Android are winning that battle.
Steve JobsEbooks had to happen.
Jeff BezosThe intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.
Bill GatesMost people have no idea what something would sound like if it wasn’t an MP3.
Brian EnoMySpace is my wife… Facebook is my mistress.
Paulo CoelhoI am a giant proponent of giant screens. But I accept the fact that most of my movies are going to be seen on phones.
George LucasIt’s not that every single thing that happens on Facebook is gonna be good. This is humanity. People use tools for good and bad, but I think that we have a clear responsibility to make sure that the good is amplified and to do everything we can to mitigate the bad.
Mark ZuckerbergI didn’t used to wear a watch. Now I have a SPOT watch, which I wear all the time.
Bill GatesI am in touch with a company that hopes to replicate my voice. However, they are not replicating my original voice – if they did that, I would sound like a man in his 20s, which would be very strange! They are actually trying to replicate the synthesizer that sits on my wheelchair.
Stephen HawkingThe truth of Moore’s law has made remarkable things possible. On the software side, I think natural user interfaces in all their forms are equally significant.
Bill Gates
