Adam Smith
The robot is going to lose. Not by much. But when the final score is tallied, flesh and blood is going to beat the damn monster.
|
Antoine de Saint
The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
|
Calvin Tomkins
Each year, it seems, larger and more daunting mountains of text rise from the lush lowlands of visual reproduction.
|
Carl Sagan
All of the books in the world contain no more information than isbroadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year.
|
Carl Sagan
We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
|
Carrie P. Snow
Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.
|
E. F. Schumacher
The system of nature, of which man is a part, tends to be self-balancing, self-adjusting, self-cleansing. Not so with technology.
|
E. F. Schumacker
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.
|
Evan Esar
Definition of Statistics: The science of producing unreliable facts from reliable figures.
|
Flip Wilson
You can't expect to hit the jackpot if you don't put a few nickels in the machine.
|
Frank Lloyd Wright
If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger.
|
Gertrude Stein
Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense.
|
Herbert Simon
What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.
|
Isaac Asimov
Nothing interferes with my concentration. You could put on an orgy in my office and I wouldn't look up. Well, maybe once.
|
John Spencer
The research rat of the future allows experimentation without manipulation of the real world. This is the cutting edge of modeling technology.
|
Mary Schmich
The cell phone has transformed public places into giant phone-a-thons in which callers exist within narcissistic cocoons of private conversations. Like faxes, computer modems and other modern gadgets that have clogged out lives with phony urgency, cell phones represent the 20th Century's escalation of imaginary need. We didn't need cell phones until we had them. Clearly, cell phones cause not only a breakdown of courtesy, but the atrophy of basic skills.
|
Oscar Wilde
The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.
|
Thomas Alva Edison
I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent. My main purpose in life is to make money so that I can afford to go on creating more inventions.
|
Thomas Alva Edison
I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it. I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others. I want to save and advance human life, not destroy it. I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill. The dove is my emblem.
