3 December 2020 David Baltimore I think we can allow the therapeutic uses of nuclear transplant technology, which we call cloning, without running the danger of actually having live human beings born.
3 December 2020 Shinya Yamanaka My goals over the decade include to develop new drugs to treat intractable diseases by using iPS cell technology and to conduct clinical trials using it on a few patients with Parkinson’s diseases, diabetes or blood diseases.
3 December 2020 Emily Greene Balch Technology gives us the facilities that lessen the barriers of time and distance – the telegraph and cable, the telephone, radio, and the rest.
3 December 2020 Charles Foster Bass The U.S. government knew that China wanted to acquire sensitive U.S. technology, and instead of implementing a policy to prevent them from acquiring the information, the government all but gave them an invitation to take our equipment and designs.
3 December 2020 Mitchell Kapor Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.
3 December 2020 Sarah Zettel I have a better internal and intuitive understanding of folklore and myth than science and technology, so in that way fantasy is easier.
3 December 2020 Lawrence Clark Powell We are the children of a technological age. We have found streamlined ways of doing much of our routine work. Printing is no longer the only way of reproducing books. Reading them, however, has not changed.
3 December 2020 Condoleezza Rice We’re in a new world. We’re in a world in which the possibility of terrorism, married up with technology, could make us very, very sorry that we didn’t act.
3 December 2020 Christopher Nolan I don’t particularly enjoy watching films in 3D because I think that a well-shot and well-projected film has a very three-dimensional quality to it, so I’m somewhat sceptical of the technology.
3 December 2020 Marc Ostrofsky Internet entrepreneurs are using technology at every level of their company – from a one-person agency to a small firm, the newest technological advances are interwoven throughout every aspect of Internet-based businesses.
3 December 2020 Bruce Sterling I used to think that cyberspace was fifty years away. What I thought was fifty years away, was only ten years away. And what I thought was ten years away… it was already here. I just wasn’t aware of it yet.
3 December 2020 Whitfield Diffie I understood the importance in principle of public key cryptography but it’s all moved much faster than I expected. I did not expect it to be a mainstay of advanced communications technology.
3 December 2020 Michael Nutter The federal government… knows how to put a missile in someone’s room half way around the world with technology. Why don’t we use some of that technology to save some lives here in America?
3 December 2020 James Young Whereas with us – what you hear is what’s happening right then and there on the stage – so we don’t need no stinking technology.
3 December 2020 Jay Chiat But I think technology advertising will have to stop addressing how products are made and concentrate more on what a product will do for the consumer.
3 December 2020 Jaron Lanier People try to treat technology as an object, and it can’t be. It can only be a channel.
3 December 2020 Paul Allen The best museums and museum exhibits about science or technology give you the feeling that, hey, this is interesting, but maybe I could do something here, too.
3 December 2020 will.i.am We all rely on technology to communicate, to survive, to do our banking, to shop, to get informed, but none of us knows how to read and write the code.
3 December 2020 John McKinley Technology has been, and always will be, my one true passion professionally.
3 December 2020 John Callahan We’re competing with everything: the beach, the mall, bookstores. Libraries are in a transition right now, caught between two forces, the old ways and technology. Libraries are under a lot of pressure to provide both.
3 December 2020 Isaac Yeffet Stop relying only on technology.Technology can help the qualified, well-trained human being but cannot replace him.
3 December 2020 Larry Niven Building one space station for everyone was and is insane: we should have built a dozen.
3 December 2020 Scott Ritter Weapons of mass destruction aren’t pulled out of a black hat like a white rabbit at a magic show. They’re produced in factories. There’s science and technology involved. They’re not produced in a hole in the ground or in a basement.
3 December 2020 Meg Whitman I think we can be the very best place to start a business, to grow a business, to invent a new technology, to change the world, to change the country. But we’ve got a lot of work to deliver a new California to the people of California.
3 December 2020 Sylvia Day I can’t live without my smartphone, but I really geek on coding. It’s not so much technology that I like, but puzzle solving.
3 December 2020 Jim Rash Technology has changed, and we need to figure out how to improve the archaic way of what makes a hit, or how to determine how many viewers are watching beyond some people with Nielsen boxes in a small percentage of homes in random areas.
