In the developing world, people often use quite basic technology. Many of the most imaginative schemes are using what we'd count as old tech.
Piecemeal social engineering resembles physical engineering in regarding the ends as beyond the province of technology.
Scientists are not these guys in lab coats deep in the inner bowels of universities and hospitals with their Bunsen burners. They're the people molding the culture that we live in, the future of our culture, and the technology we rely on every day. These are the rock stars of our time right now.
Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else.
So many of my rookie mistakes could have been avoided by first-hand exposure to other, more experienced technology entrepreneurs.
In 1958, my father graduated from secondary school as the highest-achieving student in the state of Kansas, earning a five-year scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He turned it down. For someone raised in a remote farming town, this would have been his opportunity to transform his life, a ticket to a bigger world.
In 1993, Israel and North Korea were moving towards an agreement in which North Korea would stop sending any missiles or military technology to the Middle East and Israel would recognize that country. President Clinton intervened and blocked it.
Technology is one of the key drivers of female economic empowerment, but the fields that women choose to participate in are still decidedly gendered.
My grandfather on my mother's side was a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; my other grandfather was a lawyer, and one time Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives.
If you want to get an email to Robert Redford, you send it to his assistant, and she prints it out. And then he will write you a letter, which is incredibly rare and incredibly classy. Unfortunately, I can't be that removed from technology.
The bottom line is there are lots of problems that were not created by government. The biggest one is loss of middle class incomes, loss of good-paying jobs which was created by technology and globalization. Above all, when you can move a job to China or India, it reduces wages.
I'm just hoping my children will get enough of a foundation to remember what it was like before technology, how good that feels. Because I remember.
The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.
In 1978, I entered Tohoku University, into the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Technology.
What is needed now is a transformation of the major systems of production more profound than even the sweeping post-World War II changes in production technology.
Investing in industries and technology for the 21st century generates high-skilled, high-wage jobs for industries of the future.
I'm very into science-fantasy, that kind of swordfights and magic and technology thing.
Blended-reality technology could play in a limited, walled-garden world, but history suggests that it won't really take off until it offers broad freedom of use.
Technology moves so fast and social media moves so fast because everyone wants the new thing, but also, everyone wants to be where their parents are not. Once the mom got a Facebook and a Twitter and an Instagram, I don't want to be there anymore.
So one begins to wonder what is going to happen to the human race. Technology keeps on advancing with greater and greater power, either for good or for destruction.
People are looking to have more meaning in their lives. It is a sign the technology community is coming of age.
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.
Sometimes a technology is so awe-inspiring that the imagination runs away with it - often far, far away from reality. Robots are like that. A lot of big and ultimately unfulfilled promises were made in robotics early on, based on preliminary successes.
The world changes materially. Science makes advances in technology and understanding. But the world of humanity doesn't change.
Technology has always been destroying jobs, and it has always been creating jobs.
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.
Just the idea to have everything you need essentially stored in one piece of portable technology is very exciting.
With the way everything's going now and the way that technology is going, you can do a lot of things with a lot of different new materials.
I do not think we are ever going to be able to, for a long time, get the kind of quality of school personnel that we need in our schools, especially in the areas of science and math. One of the answers to that problem is to use more educational technology.
I believe very strongly, and have fought since many years ago - at least over 30 years ago - to get architecture not just within schools, but architecture talked about under history, geography, science, technology, art.
My first job was as a programmer. So I feel like I'm familiar with the information technology sector and the information technology culture.
The point is technology and innovation have advanced far past what DCGS is capable of doing. It's not an agile enough tool to be able to incorporate and integrate the most advanced technology that is on the shelf today that can be bought by our forces that frankly our war-fighting units want.
We are in an electronic technology age now and it's about time we put away the old stuff.
We are involved in technology development for, you know, missions that we hope to plan that would take us to an asteroid and eventually to Mars.
I've gone to China, bought a manufacturing company and moved it to America. Now China wants to buy back some of that new technology from me. That's a great story for America.
It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.
