I like connecting with people through technology.
~ Theophilus London
We humans usually feel that we are the best at everything we do, that we can safely drive ourselves. But tens of thousands of people die every year. We need to be open to having technology assist us, to find ways in which technology makes us safer.
~ Sebastian Thrun
What I found personally to be true was that it's easier to manipulate people rather than technology.
~ Kevin Mitnick
Technology is huge; I wanted to learn about it. People might say that's odd, but I think it's odd if artists aren't interested in the world around them. I'm always chasing that.
~ Bono
Digital technology is both arousing and distancing. We don't look at the users on the other side as people. They aren't - they're just usernames, Facebook photos and Twitter handles.
~ Douglas Rushkoff
I am much less concerned with whatever it is technology may be doing to people that what people are choosing to do to one another through technology. Facebook's reduction of people to predictively modeled profiles and investment banking's convolution of the marketplace into an algorithmic battleground were not the choices of machines.
We understand how to build and manage businesses that involve technology, engineering, and people at a large scale on a global platform.
~ Azim Premji
The reason steampunk attracts people is that it is premised on a technology which is visible and pleasing to the naked eye, and whose moving parts are comprehensible on a human scale.
~ Nick Harkaway
I'm equally guilty of using technology - I Twitter, I text people, I chat. But I think there's something strangely insidious about it that it makes us think we're closer when in fact we're not seeing each other, we're not connecting.
~ Jason Reitman
When designers replaced the command line interface with the graphical user interface, billions of people who are not programmers could make use of computer technology.
~ Howard Rheingold
Every time a new technology comes along, we feel we're about to break through to a place where we will not be able to recover. The advent of broadcast radio confused people. It delighted people, of course, but it also changed the world.
~ James Gleick
People gravitate to what they believe to be popular... Technology is enabling even more of that.
~ Bob Iger
A moderate tax on robots, even a temporary tax that merely slows the adoption of disruptive technology, seems a natural component of a policy to address rising inequality. Revenue could be targeted toward wage insurance, to help people replaced by new technology make the transition to a different career.
~ Robert J. Shiller
There is technology where you can watch the match live online and also on TV. If people understood the game, I'm sure we would have a lot of chess fans by now.
~ Viswanathan Anand
Creative people are notoriously the slowest to adopt new technology.
~ Robert RodrÃguez
Change creates fear, and technology creates change. Sadly, most people don't behave very well when they are afraid.
~ Daniel H. Wilson
One of the big things coming out of healthcare reform is a thing called the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act (CLASS) which is a mechanism to reimburse people staying at home for technology and services that allow them to stay at home.
~ Colin Angle
Technology is something you have to embrace because technology is part of our generation. Digital natives, for instance, are people who grew up in a world that always had the Internet and who always had smartphones. Millennials aren't too far behind: my generation of people, who were in the mix of the Internet when it first came out.
~ Jon Batiste
I think it's important for people to stay human and remember that genuine human connection is more fulfilling than anything that technology has to offer. We all have it within us, and music is something that can bring that out of us.
People are stunned to hear that one company has data files on 185 million Americans.
~ Ralph Nader
I got to get the right people in the right job. Because a lot of costs can be taken out in the context of your administration without the legislature. For example, using technology to do more with less. Using technology to fight fraud. Reorganizing and streamlining can be done within the context of the administration.
~ Meg Whitman
Every time somebody tries to go in and reinvent what we do, it always ends up being more about technology and sets, and flash and dash, forgetting the main thing, which is interesting people saying interesting, important things.
~ Diane Sawyer
For a lot of people, one of the reasons they don't like to work for founders of startups is that they can be sensitive and protective around what they've built. You have an emotional attachment to the early marketing and technology materials, and you don't want to hear that anything's wrong with them.
~ Lynn Jurich
I've been looking at the iPod- the Apple iPod. One of the interesting things about the iPod, one of the things that people love most about it is not the technology; it's the box it comes in.
~ Donald Norman
I think it is inevitable that people program poorly. Training will not substantially help matters. We have to learn to live with it.
~ Alan Perlis
I see robotic technology getting rid of the dangerous, the dirty, and the just plain boring jobs. Some people say, 'You can't. People won't have anything to do.' But we found things that were a lot easier than backbreaking labor in the sun and the fields. Let people rise to better things.
~ Rodney Brooks
When are boots in the ground no longer going to have to even be people, and is that right? When does it become 'Star Wars?' When is enough enough? When do we put this time and energy into eliminating war or reasons for war instead of creating new technology to make war easier for us?
~ Michael Kelly
People thought I was very pro-computer. I was on the cover of 'Wired' magazine. Then things began to change. In the early '80s, we met this technology and became smitten like young lovers. But today our attachment is unhealthy.
~ Sherry Turkle
To bring out a new technology for consumers first, you just had a very long road to go down to try to find people who actually would pay money for something.
~ Marc Andreesen
I worked in information technology and academia for a long time and met many people who were better with things and ideas than with people.
~ Graeme Simsion
Most people who are on the inside of a technology have no idea what it's like to look at from an end user's point of view. This is why they have focus groups. I'm really familiar with this because I worked 10 years for Hallmark Cards in the U.S.
~ Pat Cadigan
I was really fascinated by some of the things happening with Anonymous, the hackers group. I don't necessarily agree with everything they've done, but I thought it was a really interesting use of technology and the fact that there's a whole group of people who can take over systems and fight things from behind the scenes.
~ Michelle Gagnon
People would like better batteries but they are wary of making investments. What is required is both a technology push and a market pull.
~ Donald Sadoway
The people who influence you are the people who believe in you.
~ Henry Drummond
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
~ George S. Patton
Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.
~ Albert Schweitzer
Earl Nightingale has inspired more people toward success and fortune than any other motivational speaker on the planet.
~ Zig Ziglar
As long as I'm not selling out the people that ride or die with me, I'm glad I'm not an MC. I'm a motivational speaker. I'm not that rapper dude.
~ Young Jeezy
I started doing motivational tours. I've seen all kinds of people, from the CEOs to the lowest executive, opening up to their fears. We don't introspect as much as we should.
~ Anupam Kher
A lot of times when people become successful, people don't really understand what they had to do or the sacrifices they made to do that, or they assume that they had money. This is coming from, like, a kid who was broke and lived with roaches and a single mom in Dorchester.
~ Clinton Sparks
