Technology Quotations Once upon a time we were just plain people. But that was before we began having relationships with mechanical systems. Get involved with a machine and sooner or later you are reduced to a factor. (Ellen Goodman) I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.(Albert Einstein) Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation... tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation. (Jean Arp) Modern technology owes ecology an apology. (Alan M. Eddison) The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.(Isaac Asimov) All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness. (Mark Kennedy) The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people. (Karl Marx) 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. Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonwealth, our governance will emerge. (John Perry Barlow) The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life. (Andrew Brown) Spending an evening on the World Wide Web is much like sitting down to a dinner of Cheetos, two hours later your fingers are yellow and you're no longer hungry, but you haven't been nourished. (Clifford Stoll) I am a hard-core believer that the clean desktop is the way to go... At the same time, we told OEMs that if they were going to put a bunch of icons on the desktop, then so were we. (Jim Allchin) If you walked into Netscape headquarters with a plain old modem from CompUSA they'd think it was a garage-door opener. (Walter Mossberg) Treat your password like your toothbrush.Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months. (Clifford Stoll) Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it. (Max Frisch) Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it. (Max Frisch) The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all his customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who by peddling second-hand, second-rate technology, led them all into it in the first place. (Douglas Adams) Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. (Rich Cook) If it's green, it's biology, If it stinks, it's chemistry, If it has numbers it's math, If it doesn't work, it's technology (Unknown) Beware of computer programmers that carry screwdrivers. (Leonard Brandwein) To err is human--and to blame it on a computer is even more so. (Robert Orben)
