Technology has the benefit of being easily scalable. A few weeks or months of coding can result in solutions that reap huge benefits. The global success of Facebook, Twitter, and Google are all triumphs of technology.
— Shawn Amos
There is a lack of talent in technology, and we need to be encouraging kids in school to learn how to code. We need to encourage computer science as a major. We need to encourage entrepreneurism.
— Jon Oringer
I started in comics in 2005, ten years ago, and at that time, I didn't have a cell phone. I don't even think I had a computer myself, you know. And just in those ten years, how much technology has changed.
— Jeff Lemire
I love technology - yes, I have fallen in love with older cars, but I'm all for new technology.
— Mario Andretti
I'm equally guilty of using technology - I Twitter, I text people, I chat. But I think there's something strangely insidious about it that it makes us think we're closer when in fact we're not seeing each other, we're not connecting.
— Jason Reitman
YouTube is akin to having my own network.
— Marlee Matlin
We can't blame the technology when we make mistakes.
— Tim Berners-Lee
American women are so fortunate. When I got married, all I wanted in the world was a dryer so I didn't have to hang up my diapers. And now women have paper diapers and all sorts of conveniences in the home. And it is the man and the technology that has made the home such a pleasant place for women to be.
— Phyllis Schlafly
When you consider that our technology has advanced from the first telephones to smart phones in roughly a century, it's easy to understand why it seems like tomorrow is arriving faster than it ever did.
— Annalee Newitz
I don't hate technology, I don't hate hackers, because that's just what comes with it, without those hackers we wouldn't solve the problems we need to solve, especially security.
— Fred Durst

Innovation is what we're going to need for the future, and that's always been a part of the technology industry.
— Suzan DelBene
It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the day's toil of any human being.
— John Stuart Mill
It's important with any new technology to try to pay conscious attention to what the drawbacks might be. We choose to multitask. Sometimes our choices aren't the wisest of choices, and we regret them, but they are our choices. I think it'd be wrong to think that they're automatically bad.
— James Gleick
Every time a new technology comes along, we feel we're about to break through to a place where we will not be able to recover. The advent of broadcast radio confused people. It delighted people, of course, but it also changed the world.
— James Gleick
The core concept of Samasource is essentially that technology helps us unlock human talent wherever it may happen to reside. That we should no longer be victims of the birth lottery. That no one should be stuck in a poor place where they don't have a job simply because of an accident of birth.
— Leila Janah
Civilization has given us enormous successes: going to the moon, technology. But then this is the civilisation that took us to debt, environmental crisis, every single crisis. We need a civilization where we say goodbye to these things.
— Muhammad Yunus
People gravitate to what they believe to be popular... Technology is enabling even more of that.
— Bob Iger
Technology teaches passivity. Absorbed in our devices - at any age - we are absorbed in someone else's perspective.
— Julia Cameron
Libraries function as crucial technology hubs, not merely for free Web access, but those who need computer training and assistance. Library business centers help support entrepreneurship and retraining.
— Scott Turow
For the blue-collar worker, the driving force behind change was factory automation using programmable machine tools. For the office worker, it's office automation using computer technology: enterprise-resource-planning systems, groupware, intranets, extranets, expert systems, the Web, and e-commerce.
— Tom Peters
In the technology world, you have to execute fast or you're out of business.
— Vivek Wadhwa
Ask any venture capitalist, and they will tell you that they consider the experience and completeness of the founding team to be a more important factor in their investment decision than the technology that is being built.
— Vivek Wadhwa
Police departments no longer have to pay overtime or divert resources from other projects to find out where an individual goes - all they have to do is place a tracking device on someone's car or ask a cell phone company for that individual's location history and the technology does the work for them.
— Ron Wyden
I can't live without my smartphone, but I really geek on coding. It's not so much technology that I like, but puzzle solving.
— Sylvia Day
A moderate tax on robots, even a temporary tax that merely slows the adoption of disruptive technology, seems a natural component of a policy to address rising inequality. Revenue could be targeted toward wage insurance, to help people replaced by new technology make the transition to a different career.
— Robert J. Shiller
What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.
— Barbara Kruger
There is technology where you can watch the match live online and also on TV. If people understood the game, I'm sure we would have a lot of chess fans by now.
— Viswanathan Anand
Creative people are notoriously the slowest to adopt new technology.
— Robert Rodriguez
Once anthropology and geology had opened up the pre-recordkeeping darkness of humanity's long, slow, sustained infancy as suitable grounds for speculation, writers began trying to imagine human existence as it must have been with only stone-age technology.
— Paul Di Filippo
The mandate for the CTO's office is to unleash the power of technology, data, and innovation on behalf of the nation. The CTO's office is really trying to bring best practices, possibilities, pilots, and policy advising.
— Megan Smith
Television has changed the American child from an irresistable force to an immovable object.
— Laurence J. Peter
Style used to be an interaction between the human soul and tools that were limiting. In the digital era, it will have to come from the soul alone.
— Jaron Lanier
Advertisers are not thinking radically enough - they look for technology to lead instead of trying the neuroscience approach and thinking about what parts of the brain haven't been activated before. These new experiences bring new capabilities to the brain.
— Jaron Lanier
What does it mean to not be alone? I've approached that question through music, technology, writing and other means.
— Jaron Lanier
The latest technology is not always good for anything except to the producers of the technology.
— Wendell Berry
Storytelling is storytelling. You still play by the same narrative rules. The technology is completely different. I don't use one piece of technology that I used when I started directing.
— James Cameron
I believe 3D is inevitable because it's about aligning our entertainment systems to our sensory system. We all have two eyes we all see the world in 3D. And it's natural for us to want our entertainment in 3D as well. It's just getting the technology - it's really more the business model than the technology piece. We've solved the technology. 
— James Cameron
Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.
— Andy Rooney
The divine wisdom which requires a division of labor has sown different abilities and tendencies in human nature and has enabled human beings to carry out the duty of establishing sciences and developing technology. The fulfillment of this duty is obligatory upon humanity as a whole, though not on every individual.
— Said Nursi
I am extraordinarily fascinated by the future of technology. We are in the early infancy of technology, and we have an opportunity to guide how technology develops and integrates into our lives. I talk a lot about the 'invisible interface,' or the idea that we can utilize technology without being absorbed into a screen.
— Yves Behar
I don't particularly enjoy watching films in 3D because I think that a well-shot and well-projected film has a very three-dimensional quality to it, so I'm somewhat sceptical of the technology.
— Christopher Nolan
For the last 10 years, I've felt increasing pressure to stop shooting film and start shooting video, but I've never understood why. It's cheaper to work on film, it's far better looking, it's the technology that's been known and understood for a hundred years, and it's extremely reliable.
— Christopher Nolan
I am fascinated by all the new technology that creates places for us to meet in what is called cyberspace. I understand what it must have meant for the rebellions in the 19th century, especially in 1830 and 1848, when the mass circulated newspaper became so important for the spreading of information.
— Henning Mankell
I am critical of modernity giving science and technology a blank check as if it were the fountain of all truth. That is not true. And I think I may have introduced a word which has now caught on quite a bit, scientism. Science is good. It simply reports a discovery.
— Huston Smith
These days the technology can solve our problems and then some. Solutions may not only erase physical or mental deficits but leave patients better off than 'able-bodied' folks. The person who has a disability today may have a superability tomorrow.
— Daniel H. Wilson
Change creates fear, and technology creates change. Sadly, most people don't behave very well when they are afraid.
— Daniel H. Wilson
All these experiments I've done over the years with technology have been asking whether I can tell stories that affect humans in a deeper way than I could without the technology.
— Chris Milk
I make short films, little documentaries, about the co-evolution of humans and technology.
— Jason Silva
My mode of presentation is short-form video - basically I create fast cut, impassioned 'idea explainers' that explode with enthusiasm and intensity as they distill how technology is expanding our sphere of possibility.
— Jason Silva
I'm a futurist. Technology is our way out of almost every problem we have. Technology can create a new sense of community.
— Hal Sparks
There used to be this country called the Soviet Union it's not there anymore. Our technology was better than theirs. 
— Tom Clancy
Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences.
— Freeman Dyson
The telephone is a 100-year-old technology. It's time for a change. Charging for phone calls is something you did last century.
— Niklas Zennstrom
Absolutely everything undergoes evolvement - whether it's technology, journalism, the NFL, medicine.
— Marv Levy
It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance.
— Barry Commoner
One of the big things coming out of healthcare reform is a thing called the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act (CLASS) which is a mechanism to reimburse people staying at home for technology and services that allow them to stay at home.
— Colin Angle
The computer offers another kind of creativity. You cannot ignore the creativity that computer technology can bring. But you need to be able to move between those two different worlds.
— Tadao Ando
I don't mind if somebody texts me but I'm not a big texter, the things are too small. I don't mind if they text, '7 o'clock,' that's fine, that's logistics but, 'What's up?' Get real! Pick up a phone!
— Penny Marshall
With today's technology, you can actually see the baby grow, move, and hear their little heart beats.
— Stephen Fincher
We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.
— John Perry Barlow
I'll take transformational change any way it comes. One way to look at meditation is as a kind of intrapsychic technology that's been developed over thousands of years by traditions that know a lot about the mind/body connection. To call what happens 'the placebo effect' is just to give a name to something we don't understand.
— Jon Kabat-Zinn
Technology has to be invented or adopted.
— Jared Diamond
Technology is something you have to embrace because technology is part of our generation. Digital natives, for instance, are people who grew up in a world that always had the Internet and who always had smartphones. Millennials aren't too far behind: my generation of people, who were in the mix of the Internet when it first came out.
— Jon Batiste
I think it's important for people to stay human and remember that genuine human connection is more fulfilling than anything that technology has to offer. We all have it within us, and music is something that can bring that out of us.
— Jon Batiste
This really is a merger of equals. I wouldn't have come back to work for anything less than this fantastic opportunity. This lets me combine my two great loves - technology and biscuits.

You cannot make thousands of universities or hundreds of thousands of professors, but with technology and the Internet you can have great courses and make a digital university.
— Carlos Slim
I'd like to get back home to Nova Scotia more, but thankfully, with technology you can call and text and FaceTime. But physically being in Toronto or Nova Scotia... there's nothing like it.
— Diego Klattenhoff
There is no Constitutional right to prey on others. The Internet is just a piece of technology, like the telephone. Society has the right to modify its uses.
— Andrew Vachss
Be skeptical of concepts that divorce war from its political nature, particularly those that promise fast, cheap victory through technology.
— H. R. McMaster
I'm afraid I am a bit of a technophobe - a nineteenth-century man caught in the twenty-first century. But there is one piece of technology that I would especially welcome: a device to automatically balance restaurant tables on all four legs so that they don't rock back and forth.
— Leonard Susskind
People are stunned to hear that one company has data files on 185 million Americans.
— Ralph Nader
What's sort of interesting about the whole public relations disaster that is the Net, in some ways, is that the fundamentals are really good.
— Meg Whitman
I got to get the right people in the right job. Because a lot of costs can be taken out in the context of your administration without the legislature. For example, using technology to do more with less. Using technology to fight fraud. Reorganizing and streamlining can be done within the context of the administration.
— Meg Whitman
You can have the best technology in the world, but if you don't have a community who wants to use it and who are excited about it, then it has no purpose.
— Chris Hughes
Doing linear scans over an associative array is like trying to club someone to death with a loaded Uzi.
— Larry Wall
Real programmers can write assembly code in any language.
— Larry Wall

— Larry Wall
Technology has made music accessible in a philosophically interesting way, which is great. But on the other hand, when everybody has the ability to make magic, it's like there's no more magic - if the audience can just do it themselves, why are they going to bother?
— Thomas Bangalter
ChicagoNEXT is focused on making Chicago the best possible place for technology entrepreneurs.
— J. B. Pritzker
I understood the importance in principle of public key cryptography but it's all moved much faster than I expected. I did not expect it to be a mainstay of advanced communications technology.
— Whitfield Diffie
Every time somebody tries to go in and reinvent what we do, it always ends up being more about technology and sets, and flash and dash, forgetting the main thing, which is interesting people saying interesting, important things.
— Diane Sawyer

— David D. Burns
We are already producing enough food to feed the world. We already have technology in place that allows us to produce more than we can find a market for.
— Jeremy Rifkin
For a lot of people, one of the reasons they don't like to work for founders of startups is that they can be sensitive and protective around what they've built. You have an emotional attachment to the early marketing and technology materials, and you don't want to hear that anything's wrong with them.
— Lynn Jurich
Advances in technology and in our understanding of illness and disease together with an expanded workforce and greater resources will allow us to provide more services to a higher quality.
— John Hutton
Light-field photography is a transformational technology that needs a transformational product to introduce it. For the first time, we have a light-field camera that's going to be for everyone - not something in a huge room in a research facility.
— Ren Ng
With light field technology, there is a huge opportunity for creativity in photography that hasn't been available in the past.
— Ren Ng
I made physical objects because I know how to do something on the computer. That struck a chord with me: Most women of my generation have grown up with technology but lack the handmade creative skills of former generations. This is a big opportunity to fill that gap.
— Brit Morin
The great growling engine of change - technology.
— Alvin Toffler
I forced myself to think what is the new concept and it became clear to me that it was risk, not only in technology and ecology, but in life and employment, too.
— Ulrich Beck
Because of technological limits, there is a certain amount of food that we can produce per acre. If we were to have intensive greenhouse agriculture, we could have much higher production.
— Ralph Merkle
I've been looking at the iPod- the Apple iPod. One of the interesting things about the iPod, one of the things that people love most about it is not the technology; it's the box it comes in.
— Donald Norman
The DJ still has the relationship with the people, I believe. I don't know to call the DJ 'the ambassadors' or what, but we still are connecting the dots, getting the good stuff and passing it on to the people. DJs still have relevance, even with the technology that elevates the DJ beyond being a selector.
— Ali Shaheed Muhammad

— Alan Perlis
What constrains or enables the capacity of human beings to work in groups is not so much the technology, but rather the capacity of the human brain to have and monitor social interactions.
— Nicholas A. Christakis
I see robotic technology getting rid of the dangerous, the dirty, and the just plain boring jobs. Some people say, 'You can't. People won't have anything to do.' But we found things that were a lot easier than backbreaking labor in the sun and the fields. Let people rise to better things.
— Rodney Brooks
You go to a technology conference or an engineering conference, there are very few women there. At the same time it's a blessing in the fact that you do get noticed. People tend to remember you as the only woman in the room 'who said that', or the only woman in the room who was an engineer.
— Padmasree Warrior
We could talk, act, and dress funny. We were excused for socially inappropriate behavior: 'Oh, he's a programmer'. It was all because we knew this technology stuff that other people found completely mystifying.
— Kent Beck
If someone is trying to skip the struggle - which is the creative job - our machines today, the technology that we have, can help the person, but it is only momentary. On the other hand, if you are creative, you have the skill, and you are hardworking, technology can only make you superior.
— Arijit Singh
The internet is a great way to get on the net.
— Bob Dole
While there have been terrific advances in the state of technology around heuristics, behavior blocking, and things like that, technology is only a part of the approach to solving the problem with the more important aspect involving putting the right process in place.
— John W. Thompson
One of the things that has been truly incredible to observe though, is the amount of venture investment that has gone into early stage security technology.
— John W. Thompson
When are boots in the ground no longer going to have to even be people, and is that right? When does it become 'Star Wars?' When is enough enough? When do we put this time and energy into eliminating war or reasons for war instead of creating new technology to make war easier for us?
— Michael Kelly
Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure, but it has great difficulty in generating joy.

— Gray Scott
I'm an optimist about the power of technology to transform lives for the better.
— Julius Genachowski
If cheap immigrant labor is made unavailable, employers can hire Americans at a higher wage, or replace low-wage immigrant workers with technology and automation, which will create a smaller number of skilled jobs for Americans.
— Jan C. Ting
There are no morals about technology at all. Technology expands our ways of thinking about things, expands our ways of doing things. If we're bad people we use technology for bad purposes and if we're good people we use it for good purposes.
— Herbert Simon
Broadband access is the great equalizer, leveling the playing field so that every willing and able person, no matter their station in life, has access to the information and tools necessary to achieve the American Dream.
— Michael K. Powell
I believe the auto industry is a competition of human resources, competition of funding, competition of technology - and the competition is international.
— Li Shufu
In school all I wanted to do was build technology. That's what I loved.
— Marc Benioff
Although I loved working on technology - I've always been a computer geek at heart - my professors encouraged me to get a real-world job working with customers.
— Marc Benioff
It's very difficult for people who don't play video games to understand their power simply by watching, and it's very difficult for people who aren't close to technology to understand how rapidly it can change whatever it touches.
— Bing Gordon
The Strauss Group identified water as a strategic category presenting significant business opportunity in line with the Group's long term business strategy and vision. We view the development of a technology that enables high quality drinking water for both home and offices as a means to improve the quality of life of millions of people.

Biology, it's the technology which builds our world, and we can harness it to shift humanity from a scarcity to an abundance economy.
— Ryan Bethencourt
Building technical systems involves a lot of hard work and specialized knowledge: languages and protocols, coding and debugging, testing and refactoring.
— Jesse James Garrett
When dealing in the technology, it becomes a question of whether you overuse something. I think that's worse than having something technologically available to you and not using it.
— Al Michaels
For much of this decade, both Congressional and administration budget projections showed a decline in science and technology accounts of between 20 and 30 percent in real dollars. The real impact to date has been far less severe.
— Charles Vest
I had two passions growing up - one was music, one was technology. I tried to play in a band for a while, but I was never talented enough to make it. And I started companies. One day came along and I decided to combine the two - and there was Spotify.
— Daniel Ek
We are finally entering an exciting time in medicine where we have the technology to custom-tailor treatment and preventive protocols just as we'd custom-tailor a suit or designer gown to one's individual body. But it all begins with you. You have to know yourself in a manner that you've probably never done before.
— David Agus
If you're not looking toward the future or trying to improve the current technology, you'll be left behind.
— Gwynne Shotwell
People thought I was very pro-computer. I was on the cover of 'Wired' magazine. Then things began to change. In the early '80s, we met this technology and became smitten like young lovers. But today our attachment is unhealthy.
— Sherry Turkle
I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up.
— Dan Millman
The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited.
— Alan Kay
To bring out a new technology for consumers first, you just had a very long road to go down to try to find people who actually would pay money for something.
— Marc Andreesen
If you want to be a modern citizen of the world, you have to be minimally capable in technology. It's a new literacy test. Technology rules your outcome in life. And software is making a lot of decisions in our lives.
— Daniel Suarez
Technology is similarly just a catalyst at times for fundamental forces already present.
— Scott Cook
I think that's the phenomenon of our time is that a lot of women keep themselves in good shape but that there's not a lot of accommodation or people out there to connect with and the technology.
— Stockard Channing
If we're building high quality companies, if the customers like the products, if the technology innovation is real, then the substance is going to win out in the end.
— Marc Andreesen
There's evidence of a social decline in direct proportion to technology and the industrialization of the motion picture industry.
— Mark Rydell
When you think about things like power efficiency or performance or Internet connectivity as major technology areas where you have multiple investments, multiple products - security is like that.
— Renee James
Piecemeal social engineering resembles physical engineering in regarding the ends as beyond the province of technology.

This is magic we're talking about. It's supposed to go places science can't, defy logic, wink at technology, fill us all with the sensawunda that comes of gazing upon a fictional world and seeing something truly different from our own.
— N. K. Jemisin
Rarely do you walk down the street doing anything that my grandparent's generation did. And half of that comes with the technology advances.
— Gabriel Basso
The great paradox of the 21st century is that, in this age of powerful technology, the biggest problems we face internationally are problems of the human soul.
— Ralph Peters
My wife handles all of our technology. So if something goes wrong with the computer, I throw up my arms and step aside while the IT gal figures it out.
— Ty Burrell
I became a member of the faculty at Northwestern University in 1965 but did not complete my thesis until two years later at a graduate ceremony at which Carnegie Institute of Technology became Carnegie-Mellon University. At Northwestern, I was mentored by the 'three Bobs:' Robert Eisner, Robert Strotz and Robert Clower.

— Bertrand Piccard
I worked in information technology and academia for a long time and met many people who were better with things and ideas than with people.
— Graeme Simsion
I'm no online whiz, but I'm not a Luddite, either. I love that we have these laptops and tablets and smart phones; they're awesome and convenient and all that. It's more about maintaining balance. Technology should always be a predicate of the true subject: our individual humanity, our examined lives.
— Paul Harding
I grew up in the Silicon Valley when it was a bunch of apricot groves, and now it's this center of incredible activity. So I have this sense of what technology has done for this region, and I want to spread it to the world.
— Timothy C. Draper
I love my BlackBerry, I love my Apple Mac, I love technology.
— Richard Desmond
We need a data network that can easily carry voice, instead of what we have today, a voice network struggling to carry data.
— Reed Hundt
We don't really even know how the Internet and technology are changing us, or our brains and our attention span.
— Nancy Jo Sales
Britain has trend-setting fashion, ground-breaking scientists, and innovative technology companies. It is also a welcome home for investors.
— Princess Beatrice of York
Most people who are on the inside of a technology have no idea what it's like to look at from an end user's point of view. This is why they have focus groups. I'm really familiar with this because I worked 10 years for Hallmark Cards in the U.S.
— Pat Cadigan
We have innovative differentiated technology that is recognized by our customers and third party analysts as the best in the industry we have industry-leading support with a very large satisfied installed base due to our best-in-class support and development organisations.

My job as artistic director at the Brighton digital agency Lighthouse is all about trying to show that digital culture is about more than just tools and gadgets - it's about perceiving the societal transformations being brought about by technology.
— Honor Harger
I was really fascinated by some of the things happening with Anonymous, the hackers group. I don't necessarily agree with everything they've done, but I thought it was a really interesting use of technology and the fact that there's a whole group of people who can take over systems and fight things from behind the scenes.
— Michelle Gagnon
Technology makes the world a new place.
— Shoshana Zuboff
People would like better batteries but they are wary of making investments. What is required is both a technology push and a market pull.
— Donald Sadoway
Technology has eliminated the basement darkroom and the whole notion of photography as an intense labor of love for obsessives and replaced them with a sense of immediacy and instant gratification.
— Joe McNally
Just the idea to have everything you need essentially stored in one piece of portable technology is very exciting.
— Graham McTavish
Society has changed so dramatically that it's empowered the individual, and technology has a lot to do with that. Years ago, if you had a bad experience at a restaurant, you could complain to the manager. Maybe you could picket. Now, you go online and write a review that may go viral.
— Brad Katsuyama
