Government isn't that good at rapid advancement of technology. It tends to be better at funding basic research. To have things take off, you've got to have commercial companies do it. (Elon Musk)
Silicon Valley has some of the smartest engineers and technology business people in the world. View quote
Elon Musk
I think the high-tech industry is used to developing new things very quickly. It's the Silicon Valley way of doing business: You either move very quickly and you work hard to improve your product technology, or you get destroyed by some other company. View quote
Elon Musk
There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions. View quote
Elon Musk
If you think back to the beginning of cell phones, laptops or really any new technology, it's always expensive. View quote
Elon Musk
It is definitely true that the fundamental enabling technology for electric cars is lithium-ion as a cell chemistry technology. In the absence of that, I don't think it's possible to make an electric car that is competitive with a gasoline car. View quote
Elon Musk
I don't think people buy technology products because of the personalities of the people behind them. View quote
Jim Balsillie
Despite my emphasis on technology, I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones, even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail. View quote
Bram Cohen
I've always felt that technology can be used to our benefit and should be used to our benefit. View quote

With any advent in technology, any technological innovation, there is the good and the bad. View quote
Henry Rollins
Frank, you are, without doubt, a scarcity. Anyone who looks at the historical record of the juncture of art and technology finds you nearly unaccompanied when it comes to documenting this historical record between the years of the late-1960's up to the early 1990s. Basically there is you, Jack Burnham's book Beyond Modern Sculpture (1968), and Gene Youngblood's reference work Expanded Cinema (1970). Specifically, your books Origins and Development of Kinetic Art (1968), Art, Action and Participation (1975) and Art of the Electronic Age (1993) are indispensable research tools in helping us figure out how art got to where it is today - in your terms virtualized. (Joseph Nechvatal)
Our laws need to reflect the evolution of technology and the changing expectations of American society. This is why the Constitution is often called a "living” document. View quote

Technology is an incredible tool - it connects people to each other, creates jobs all over the world, and makes life easier for millions of Americans. View quote
Al Franken
Each technology equated to some human value or set of values, she saw. She'd known that. But on Earth, in the Archipelago and everywhere else, technologies came first, and values changed to accommodate them. Under the locks, values were the keys to access or shut away technologies... The locks proclaimed that there were no neutral technologies. The devices and methods people used didn't just represent certain values-they were those values, in some way. View quote
Karl Schroeder
A good piece of technology dreams of the day when it will be replaced by a newer piece of technology. This is one definition of progress. View quote
Douglas Coupland
Even when you take a holiday from technology, technology doesn't take a break from you. View quote
Douglas Coupland
Propaganda is called upon to solve problems created by technology, to play on maladjustments, and to integrate the individual into a technological world. View quote
Jacques Ellul
The development of the nation is intimately linked with understanding and application of science and technology by its people. View quote
Vikram Sarabhai
The days are over when technology can be advanced in laboratories by individual scientists alone. Now you need an army of lawyers to negotiate the hazardous terrain of interlocking patents. Unless we find a solution to the problem of interlocking patents, the patent system may actually impede the very innovation it was designed to encourage. View quote
Ha-Joon Chang
The FBI and the CIA, I really thought they had everything under control. I thought they knew what was going on with everybody. I thought they had a camera in the air in a satellite right now taking very accurate pictures of my prostate. I thought they had that kind of technology. I thought they knew everything about everybody, but it turns out they're really no different than many other government bureaucracies, say, the Post Office or the Department of Motor Vehicles. Just, uh, you know, 50-60 year old men waiting for their pensions to kick in. Except for the three that let the attack [9/11] happen. They've been promoted. (Marc Maron)
Unfortunately, as technology has improved, that which was 'underground' now heads towards obsolescence. View quote
Andrew Sega
What we see today is an American economy that has boomed because of policies and developments of the 1950s and '60s: the interstate-highway system, massive funding for science and technology, a public-education system that was the envy of the world and generous immigration policies. View quote
Fareed Zakaria
The Internet allows the small guy a global marketplace. But technology is harmful in the sense that we get too much information from it. Because of the web we get 10 times the amount of noise we ever got, which makes harmful fallacies far more likely. View quote
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
All of technology, really, is about maximizing free options. View quote
