Zitat des Tages über Technologischen Fortschritt / Technological Progress:
Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.
Maybe the preoccupation with technological progress has overshadowed our concern with human progress.
Despite our high rate of unemployment, 300,000 jobs go unfilled largely because many of the unemployed lack the skills needed today as a result of technological progress.
Technological progress becomes even more exciting when it enters into the service of the social idea which demands that not only a small elite but humanity at large should profit by it.
Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.
I'm serenely convinced that we are heading into what will amount to a 'time out' from technological progress as we know it.
Of course, technology is not an exogenous force over which humans have no control. We are not constrained by a binary choice between acceptance and rejection. Rather, the decisions we make every day as citizens, consumers, and investors guide technological progress.
