If Al Gore invented the Internet, I invented spell check.

It’s a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.

People are very reluctant to talk about their private lives but then you go to the internet and they’re much more open.

Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.

The technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.

As everything becomes digitized, there’s the idea that things that can’t be digitized become more valuable.

The wealth of information now available at the click of a finger amazes me.

I’m always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven’t thought of doing yet.

I don’t have a computer. A computer’s a typewriter. I already have a typewriter.

Whenever you have multiple devices including multiple PCs that you want to share information with, it’s always been a bit complicated.

When I was born in 1920, the auto was only 20 years old. Radio didn’t exist. TV didn’t exist. I was born at just the right time to write about all of these things.

I am amazed at the wonders of technology and am grateful for the ways in which we are able to use it to share the Gospel around the world.

If there were camera phones back in the day, the biggest athletes in the world would have had a lot of explaining to do.

People everywhere love Windows.

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.

Although designers continue to dream of ‚transparency‘ – technologies that just do their job without making their presence felt – both creators and audiences actually like technologies with ‚personality.‘

It took us three years to build the NeXT computer. If we’d given customers what they said they wanted, we’d have built a computer they’d have been happy with a year after we spoke to them – not something they’d want now.

After launching the first version of Facebook for a few thousand users, we would discuss how this should be built for the world. It wasn’t even a thought that maybe it could be us. We always thought it would be someone else doing it.

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.

I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.

I think there will be PCs at every price point.

The usual method of finding a little dongly thing that actually matches a gizmo I want to use is to go and buy another one, at a price that can physically drive the air from your body.

Whether it’s Google or Apple or free software, we’ve got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.

The press, the machine, the railway, the telegraph are premises whose thousand-year conclusion no one has yet dared to draw.

Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians. They also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world. But if it hadn’t been computer science, these people would have been doing amazing things in other fields.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.

Eventually we’ll be able to sequence the human genome and replicate how nature did intelligence in a carbon-based system.

The internet has been a boon and a curse for teenagers.

I have always felt it is my destiny to build a machine that would allow man to fly.

If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.

Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.

While I have never learned to use a computer, I am surrounded by family and friends who carry information to me from blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and various websites.

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.

California is not just the Golden State. We are also the Internet State.

If anyone has a vested interest in space solar power, it would have to be me.

These days, children can text on their cell phone all night long, and no one else is seeing that phone. You don’t know who is calling that child.

Harnessing steam power required many innovations, as William Rosen chronicles in the book ‚The Most Powerful Idea in the World.‘

This is a fantastic time to be entering the business world, because business is going to change more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50.

For NASA, space is still a high priority.

After ten years of word processing, I can’t even do hand writing anymore.

I very much believe the Internet is indeed all it is cracked up to be.

I’m so thankful for the Internet because actors and singers and performers now have a way to connect with their fans on a very personal level which I think is quite special.

This whole phenomenon of the computer in a library is an amazing thing.

Among all the marvels of modern invention, that with which I am most concerned is, of course, air transportation. Flying is perhaps the most dramatic of recent scientific attainment. In the brief span of thirty-odd years, the world has seen an inventor’s dream first materialized by the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk become an everyday actuality.

Really advanced civilization is based on advances in energy.

It is definitely true that the fundamental enabling technology for electric cars is lithium-ion as a cell chemistry technology. In the absence of that, I don’t think it’s possible to make an electric car that is competitive with a gasoline car.

You can think of the entire Internet as a place where ideas embodied in cyberspace are having a war, and it’s not much different than the war of gods in heaven, which has been taking place since there’s been human beings.

If you grew up, and you never had a computer, and you’ve never used the Internet, and someone asked you if you wanted to buy a data plan, your response would be ‚What’s a data plan, and why would I want to use this?‘

Technology has allowed people to make records really cheap. You can make a record on a laptop.

I think – I don’t know, maybe it’s nostalgia. But the choice, losing the choice to be able to use film is going to be – it’s gone. It’s going to be gone.

Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.

All art is dependent on technology because it’s a human endeavour, so even when you’re using charcoal on a wall or designed the proscenium arch, that’s technology.

One of the most important things you learn from the Internet is that there is no ‚them‘ out there. It’s just an awful lot of ‚us.‘

We 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.

Perhaps one day we will have machines that can cope with approximate task descriptions, but in the meantime, we have to be very prissy about how we tell computers to do things.

The microprocessor is a miracle.

I just think people have a lot of fiction. But, you know, I mean, the real story of Facebook is just that we’ve worked so hard for all this time. I mean, the real story is actually probably pretty boring, right? I mean, we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines.

The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don’t really even notice it, so it’s part of everyday life.

Computers are still technology because we are still wrestling with it: it’s still being invented; we’re still trying to work out how it works. There’s a world of game interaction to come that you or I wouldn’t recognise. It’s time for the machines to disappear. The computer’s got to disappear into all of the things we use.
