I'm proud of young black america. I'm proud of them, even if they are misunderstood. I'm proud of them for using their voices, their way. Racism, classism, fear, it all exists. Still. It's here, embedded into the fibers of our society. But I have to be honest, I do believe that because of technology, no matter how problematic it can be, and the rapid spreading of information, I'd like to believe there is a slow awakening occurring, and that our babies, or at least the generation after them will have a very different reality here. I know my role is to do what so many have done before me in this tradition - tell the stories, unashamed and unafraid. (Jason Reynolds)
My little self-analysis is that consumer technology is the closest thing we have to magic. You push a button and something happens at your command. The things that get me fired up the most have always been the things that seem the most magical. View quote
David Pogue

Akio Morita
...the key factor in industry is creativity. I said there are three creativities: creativity in technology, in product planning, and in marketing. To have any one of these without the others is self defeating in business. View quote
Akio Morita
All the traditional STEM fields, the science, technology, engineering, and math fields, are stoked when you dream big in an agency such as NASA. View quote
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Even with all our technology and the inventions that make modern life so much easier than it once was, it takes just one big natural disaster to wipe all that away and remind us that, here on Earth, we're still at the mercy of nature. (Neil deGrasse Tyson)
Disabled people need more invested in their education, housing, job training, transportation, assistive technology, and independent-living facilities. Governments earn back this investment - and more - by making people with disabilities economically productive citizens. View quote

Vernor Vinge
The great secret, known to internists and learned early in marriage by internist's wives, but still hidden from the general public, is that most things get better by themselves. Most things, in fact, are better by morning. Obviously, it is a great time-saver and money-saver for the physician's family that anxiety about disease is not handled as though it were the disease itself; there is perhaps greater willingness to accept anxiety as a natural, often transient, phenomenon. And certainly there is much less ambition to deploy the full technology of medicine as a corrective for the human condition. View quote
Lewis Thomas
I won't compare ants and people, but ants give us a useful model of how single members of a community can become so organized that they end up resembling, in effect, one big collective brain. Our own exploding population and communication technology are leading us that way. View quote
Lewis Thomas
I think a lot of people are frightened of technology and frightened of change, and the way to deal with something you're frightened of is to make fun of it. That's why science fiction fans are dismissed as geeks and nerds. View quote
Iain Banks
Despite all our gains in technology, product innovation and world markets, most people are not thriving in the organizations they work for. View quote
Stephen Covey
I think people should be able to have at their behest, like, four hours of music, entertainment, visual knowledge, different pathways. That's what I'm trying to do with modern technology, not just another song and another song. View quote
Jon Anderson
The financial world is at the cutting edge of high technology. (Robert Harris (novelist))
90% of what is considered "impossible" is, in fact, possible. The other 10% will become possible with the passage of time & technology. View quote

Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology. View quote
Larry Niven
An asteroid or a supervolcano could certainly destroy us, but we also face risks the dinosaurs never saw: An engineered virus, nuclear war, inadvertent creation of a micro black hole, or some as-yet-unknown technology could spell the end of us. View quote
