My opinion is it’s a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars.

The only way of catching a train I have ever discovered is to miss the train before.

I think most of the important stuff on the Internet has been built. There will be continued innovation, for sure, but the great problems of the Internet have essentially been solved.

I hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren’t consumed by technology and television.

People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.

If I went out to play basketball with other kids, when I came home I’d shower and go right back to the computer again. If there was a birthday party or a family activity, I would take my laptop and spend the whole day there.

Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.

Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

If somebody’s dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they’re going to have to take what they get.

It is easier to go to the Internet than to go to the library, undoubtedly. But the shift from no libraries to the existence of libraries was a much greater shift than what we’ve seen with the Internet’s development.

In my day, there were no vet video games.

Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.

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

I’m an iPod person.

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

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.

Drones overall will be more impactful than I think people recognize, in positive ways to help society.

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

I’m not a futurist.

Science is a tool, and we invent tools to do things we want. It’s a question of how those tools are used by people.

I’ll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I’ll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I’m not there, but I’ll always come back.

Our goal is not to build a platform; it’s to be cross all of them.

Move fast with stable infrastructure.

I’m never fully satisfied with any Microsoft product.

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

What turns me on about the digital age, what excited me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing. You see, it used to be that if you wanted to make a record of a song, you needed a studio and a producer. Now, you need a laptop.

I don’t like typing messages on my phone. Some people get used to it.

Many people will have nothing at the end of their working lives.

We need enlightenment, not just individually but collectively, to save the planet. We need to awaken ourselves. We need to practice mindfulness if we want to have a future, if we want to save ourselves and the planet.

Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.

The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.

Japan’s very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don’t think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that’s already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.

Without forgiveness, there’s no future.

Now everyone takes it for granted that you can look up movie reviews, track locations, and order stuff online. I wish there was a way we could take it away from people for a day so they could remember what it was like without it.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.

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.

It is true that SpaceX is partially a government contractor, but it would be unfair to say that SpaceX is entirely a government contractor.

It’s a juicy thing to say we’re building a phone, which is why people want to write about it. But it’s so clearly the wrong strategy for us.

I’m one of those people who says, ‚yes, cinema died when they invented sound.‘

You can’t be in love with a Google search.

I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.

I think that technology is always invented for historical reasons, to solve a historical problem. But they very soon reveal themselves to be capable of doing things that aren’t historical that nobody had ever thought of doing before.

I have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.

Even though the risks of death are higher driving than flying, many people would rather drive simply because they feel they have more control driving. The facts are that only a few hundred people die a year flying, and 44,000 are killed a year driving.

The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.

The truth is you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.

Facts are not interesting to me.

Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.

We can fear things into existence. Fear looks into the future and imagines the worst that can happen.

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.

Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

You can’t really imagine music without technology.

Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.

What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you – what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind – you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn’t a strategy.

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.

I think the definition of a book is changing.

I don’t envy or much respect people who are completely politicised.

In the twenty-first century, the robot will take the place which slave labor occupied in ancient civilization.
