Technology has been the great equalizer: you can find your audience, you can build your brand, and the people that are into you, great. They're going to follow you to whatever platform you go to.
— Phoebe Robinson
As our technology evolves, we will have the capacity to reach new, ever-increasing depths. The question is what kind of technology, in the end, do we want to deploy in the far reaches of the ocean? Tools of science, ecology and documentation, or the destructive tools of heavy industry?

I think any new technology that helps connect and create social cohesion is great. But at the end of the day, you and I are analog creatures.

— Peter Guber
All really worthwhile artists, creators, use the technology of their time, and anybody who doesn't becomes immediately a fossil.

And this is why Accenture remains the partner of choice for the world's leading companies in executing large-scale transformation programs.
— Pierre Nanterme
American women are so fortunate. When I got married, all I wanted in the world was a dryer so I didn't have to hang up my diapers. And now women have paper diapers and all sorts of conveniences in the home. And it is the man and the technology that has made the home such a pleasant place for women to be.
— Phyllis Schlafly
I love technology. I love the Internet.
— Philomena Kwao
What troubles me is the Internet and the electronic technology revolution. Shyness is fueled in part by so many people spending huge amounts of time alone, isolated on e-mail, in chat rooms, which reduces their face-to-face contact with other people.
— Philip Zimbardo
With social media and all the new technology, there's just more interfaces around and reminders to constantly be working on our body.
— Petra Collins
Spiraling demand for resources of which our world contains a finite supply is the great long-term threat posed by globalisation. That is why we need new technology to relieve it.

I don't want the technology of the 1950s, but I want the free market of the 1950s.
— Peter Schiff
We envision a more Germany-style economy, where 20 percent of our workforce is in manufacturing. And we're not talking about banging tin in the back room. We're talking about high technology across the board, whether it's computer chips or cars or anything in between.
— Peter Navarro
I think it's important that filmmakers look at the technology and figure out how to make the theatrical experience a little more exciting.

If we grab technology and adapt it and make it work for us, it will work in one way, whereas if we just leave it, it will stay in the hands of big corporations and governments, who have other agendas.
— Peter Gabriel
There was a Gallup poll that said something like 70 percent of people in the United States do not enjoy their job - they work to put food on the table and get insurance to survive. So, what happens when technology can do all that work for us and allow us to actually do what we enjoy with our time?
Regardless of what the naysayers believe about human interaction and social media, the data show us that the abundance of technology is actually increasing the abundance of happiness all over the world.
I'm good with digital technology, but I start to miss the physical world. I miss riding my bike, talking to friends.
I feel there is huge potential for India and the U.K. to work together both on the technology space and on the investment space.
— Piyush Goyal
'Globalization' has become the great tag phrase, but when we talk about it, it's nearly always in terms of the global marketplace or communications technology - either data or goods that are whizzing around. We forget that people are whizzing around more and more. On them, it takes a toll.
They are responsible for starting this relationship and wanting to help Africa. The United States is very well suited for this as they are a country that has the capacity, they have better access to technology and they are a successful country.

The optimism that many felt in the 1960s over labour-saving technology is giving way to a fearful question: 'Will your labour be good for anything in the future? Or will you be replaced by a machine?'
I believe that people are too complacent about technology.
Technology just means information technology.
Harnessing new communications technology offers one promising way to make public participation easier and more effective.

— Peter Lerangis
I just think that we're living in a world where the technology is advancing so rapidly. You're having cameras that are capable of more and more - the resolution on cameras is jumping up.
Use state-of-the-heart technology online and offline to turn listeners into viral advocates and customers into raving fans.
The rise of Twitter defined 2011. Once every 5-7 years, a company emerges that changes not just the technology industry, but the world... after what some viewed as a rocky start, in 2011 Twitter broke through into the elite group of companies that profoundly shape our world.
— Peter Fenton
I think we're heading towards a world of what I call 'technological socialism.' Where technology - not the government or the state - will begin to take care of us. Technology will provide our healthcare for free. The best education in the world - for free.
