The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.
- John F. Kennedy

There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute force and ignorance.

For half the people in the world, the nearest telephone is a two day walk away.

Two thirds of the earth's population lives and dies without ever making or receiving a phone call.

It all depends on your PERSPECTIVE:
Top 5 Reasons Why Computers Must Be Female:

Humans ability to invent new things almost always exceeds their capacity to make them function correctly.

Technology does not drive change --- it enables change.

You live in a deranged age, more deranged that usual, because in spite of great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.

We must learn to balance the material wonders of technology with the spiritual demands of our human race.

America has run the world for at least the past 50 years, and when you're at the top that long, you forget what it's like in the valley. There are 5+ billion people out there now who are willing to study harder, work harder for less money and be more industrious than we are. And we're linked to them by technology. With telecommunicating, you can have your bookkeeping done in Madra, India, for less than it costs here. Today technology can replace whole new industries, so you have to stay flexible. To survive today, you have to be able to walk on quicksand and dance with electrons.
