Stone Age. Bronze Age. Iron Age. We define entire epics of humanity by the technology they use.
In fact technology has been the story of human progress from as long back as we know. In 100 years people will look back on now and say 'That was the Internet Age.' And computers will be seen as a mere ingredient to the Internet Age.
The age of innocent faith in science and technology may be over.
If we can reduce the cost and improve the quality of medical technology through advances in nanotechnology we can more widely address the medical conditions that are prevalent and reduce the level of human suffering.
It worries me about our unwillingness to really address reforms and modernization in Medicare. This thing was designed 37 years ago. It has not evolved to keep pace with current medical technology.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
You'd think that in this age especially in the 21st century - especially with all the technology and all the discoveries that we've made - that we would figure out how to tackle abuse.
I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age my generation find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.
What is design? It's where you stand with a foot in two worlds - the world of technology and the world of people and human purposes - and you try to bring the two together.
We are led by lawyers who do not understand either technology or balance sheets.
It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.
The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.
As technology advances it reverses the characteristics of every situation again and again. The age of automation is going to be the age of 'do it yourself.'
For a successful technology reality must take precedence over public relations for Nature cannot be fooled.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence our servant may prove to be our executioner.
The new information technology Internet and e-mail have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.
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.
What new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want done.
The most important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday.
Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other.
I hate to mention age but I come from an era when we weren't consumed by technology and television.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1000 MPG.
I think it's brought the world a lot closer together and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything; there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I've ever seen is called television - but then again television at its best is magnificent.
We humans are an extremely important manifestation of the replication bomb because it is through us - through our brains our symbolic culture and our technology - that the explosion may proceed to the next stage and reverberate through deep space.
Capitalist production therefore develops technology and the combining together of various processes into a social whole only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer.
If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1000 MPG.
Even when I work with computers with high technology I always try to put in the touch of the hand.
Science and technology revolutionize our lives but memory tradition and myth frame our response.
Globalization as defined by rich people like us is a very nice thing you are talking about the Internet you are talking about cell phones you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.
America has the best doctors the best nurses the best hospitals the best medical technology the best medical breakthrough medicines in the world. There is absolutely no reason we should not have in this country the best health care in the world.
As a physician I know many doctors want to utilize new technology but they find the cost prohibitive.
