Whether one welcomes or deplores it, nothing is more surely and exactly characteristic of modern times than the irresistible invasion of the human world by technology. Mechanism invading like a tide all the places of the earth and all forms of social activity.

Once you have a computer that can do a few things – strictly speaking, one that has a certain ‚sufficient set‘ of basic procedures – it can do basically anything any other computer can do. This, loosely, is the basis of the great principle of ‚Universality‘.

Move fast with stable infrastructure.

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

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

You can always think of something like the Xbox 360 as a super set-top box that can do everything the set-top box does, but then have the graphics to do the games as well.

I’m trying my best to keep up with all this new technology, and I surround myself with all these wonderful people that are in the know and kind of help me out with all that.

I feel very strongly that SpaceX would not have been able to get started, nor would we have made the progress that we have, without the help of NASA.

I think Tesla will most likely develop its own autopilot system for the car, as I think it should be camera-based, not Lidar-based. However, it is also possible that we do something jointly with Google.

I think there are going to be a bunch of tablet-like devices. It’s really a different product category.

The Marines have landed, and we now own a piece of Afghanistan.

I’m glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That’s cool.

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

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.

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

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.

In a time not distant, it will be possible to flash any image formed in thought on a screen and render it visible at any place desired. The perfection of this means of reading thought will create a revolution for the better in all our social relations.

People everywhere love Windows.

I think we are at the dawn of a new era in commercial space exploration.

SpaceX is only 12 years old now. Between now and 2040, the company’s lifespan will have tripled. If we have linear improvement in technology, as opposed to logarithmic, then we should have a significant base on Mars, perhaps with thousands or tens of thousands of people.

I hope that Facebook and other Internet technologies were able to help people, just like we hope that we help them communicate and organize and do whatever they want to every single day, but I don’t pretend that if Facebook didn’t exist, that this wouldn’t even be possible. Of course, it would have.

The thing that’s been really surprising about the evolution of Facebook is – I think then, and I think now – that if we didn’t do this, someone else would have done it.

There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions.

Study hard so that you can master technology, which allows us to master nature.

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.

If we drive down the cost of transportation in space, we can do great things.

But Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.

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

If Jesus were here today, he wouldn’t be riding around on a donkey. He’d be taking a plane, he’d be using the media.

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.

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

Everybody is entertained to death.

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

Apple has given me a platform to spread music. They’re giving us Latinos a chance to shine.

We will explore the mysteries of science and harness the power of technology and innovation. We will realise the opportunities of the digital world. Our youth will learn more from – and with – each other.

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

The microprocessor is a miracle.

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

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

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.

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

I’m never going to go to Mars, but I’ve helped inspire, thank goodness, the people who built the rockets and sent our photographic equipment off to Mars.

Computers make me totally blank out.

There is a difference between what technology enables and what historical business practices enable.

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

Software is a great combination between artistry and engineering.

I don’t write letters anymore.

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.

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.

What 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.

The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.

Certainly there’s a phenomenon around open source. You know free software will be a vibrant area. There will be a lot of neat things that get done there.

I think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.

Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.

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

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can’t replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

The biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5.

You’ll see more and more perfection of that – computer as servant. But the next thing is going to be computer as a guide or agent.

If that’s there, I believe that technology will probably step up to their part of it.

Sometimes 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.
