Technology is, in many respects, an enabler for an open, transparent society. But it's also an enabler for supervision to a completely unforeseen degree. And for commercialising personal space to an unforeseen degree.
— Margrethe Vestager
Companies are bought for their revenue, customer base, technology, or people. A few great companies offer all of these, but any valuable business offers one.
— Margaret Heffernan
I think every age lives in a blend of technology so there's always older ones mixed in with newer ones, and when the new technology goes down, the immediate fallback position is either that technology just before that or one several technologies back.
— Margaret Atwood
I don't try to show off technology in my work. The technology is a means to tell stories, so I think conversations about my work can be had by very large audiences.
— Marco Tempest
I think that in a weird way, as technology gets more sophisticated, people have become less aware of it. It's become part of our day to day life. We're seeing large-scale projection mapping, like on buildings. There's video everywhere. It's much less noticeable that we're actually looking at technology.
— Marco Brambilla
I don't go digital. I was never good with technology. I didn't have a cellphone until I moved to New York. My gallery was like, 'What? How are we supposed to contact you?'
— Marcel Dzama
Canada's a huge country, so to be able to unite the country through communication satellite technology or to be able to observe it through remote sensing technology from space is a natural fit for a country like Canada.
— Marc Garneau
When I look at the next set of technologies that we have to build in Salesforce, it's all data-science-based technology. We don't need more cloud. We don't need more mobile. We don't need more social. We need more data science.
— Marc Benioff
Although I loved working on technology - I've always been a computer geek at heart - my professors encouraged me to get a real-world job working with customers.
If you want to bring down the prices of healthcare and education, the answer will be more innovation, more technology, which will then have the effect of freaking everybody out and saying, 'Oh, my God, you're going to kill all the jobs.'
— Marc Andreessen
An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in. Microsoft started with programming tools, but came out with an operating system. Oracle started doing contracts for the CIA. AOL started out as an online video gaming network.
There is an enormous market demand for information. It just has to be fulfilled in a way that fits with the technology of our times.
An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in.
Technology has changed our industry, and I think that's opened up different revenue streams and ways to make money and distribute television. It's made the global conversation easier, quicker.
— Mara Brock Akil
There is a lot of technology out there that can help people with hearing loss including wearable technology that vibrates.
— Mandy Harvey
I went to a technology conference in Germany, and there were these beautiful, model-like women standing there in front of the products. I asked a question, and she had no clue what the product was. She had to call someone from the back to explain it to me. To me, that's using a woman as an object. To me, that's totally wrong.
— Manal al-Sharif
The proliferation of outlets that digital technology has enabled has itself contributed to the changing nature of what we regard as 'news' and the way in which many citizens perceive politics.
— Malcolm Turnbull
How do we fill the need for technology workers, people who have computer skills and math and science skills? How do we get a more diverse science workforce? These are all issues - I would look at these documents that were from the '50s and '60s and '70s, and you'd swear they were written two weeks ago because the issues are the same.
— Margot Lee Shetterly
People use technology only to mean digital technology. Technology is actually everything we make.
Every aspect of human technology has a dark side, including the bow and arrow.
Combining magic with technology is a good way to influence the trajectory of where technology is going and show people what technology could be in our lives and what it shouldn't be.
Technology is now available that means you don't need to use fur. The alternatives are luxurious. There is just no need.
— Marco Bizzarri
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.
— Marc Ostrofsky
Technology's always taken jobs out of the system, and what you hope is that technology's going to put those jobs back in, too. That's what we call productivity.
The only constant in the technology industry is change.
In school all I wanted to do was build technology. That's what I loved.
If we're building high quality companies, if the customers like the products, if the technology innovation is real, then the substance is going to win out in the end.
The joke about SAP has always been, it's making '50s German manufacturing methodology, implemented in 1960s software technology, delivered to 1970-style manufacturing organizations, like, it's really - yeah, the incumbency - they are still the lingering hangover from the dot-com crash.
You are cruising along, and then technology changes. You have to adapt.
Today's stock market actually hates technology, as shown by all-time low price/earnings ratios for major public technology companies.
Definitely, I think I fulfill a very funny Indian stereotype because I love technology. It's something I've always been interested in.
— Manish Dayal
I use the aid of technology while running through songs. Visual tuners and feeling the vibrations through the floor to keep time.
I was born in the technology era.
— Maluma
Through all aspects of society be it art, design, the financial markets, government, technology or communications we are witnessing unprecedented global transformation - the result of which is impossible to predict.
— Malcolm Mclaren
If you don't integrate the technology in a way that's actually fun, the kids don't stay with the play pattern.
— Margo Georgiadis
Communications technology changes possibilities for communication, but that doesn't mean it changes the inherited structure of the brain. So you may think that you're addicted to online reading, but as soon as it isn't available anymore, your brain will pretty immediately adjust to other forms of reading. It's a habit like all habits.
My products and magic are free, but on the commercial side of what I do, the big tech companies are impressed with somebody like me who can emotionalize a piece of technology.
Thematically, most of my work deals with transition, our culture's constant acceleration, and emotional connection and disconnection through technology.
I've been impressed, obviously, with what Israel has done over the years, as it related to technology, agriculture, research in general.
— Marcia Fudge
Technology is permeating every single thing we do... And to the extent that we can better expose our young people to all the different ways that technology can be used, not just for video games or toys, we're planning for the future.
— Marc Morial
Technology is a continuum. It's constantly getting lower-cost and easier to use, and you see that, and that's true with our company.
I love software and I love technology.
In high school, I actually thought I was going to have to learn Japanese to work in technology. My big feeling was I just missed it, I missed the whole thing. It had happened in the '80s, and I got here too late. But then, I'm maybe the most optimistic person I know. I mean, I'm incredibly optimistic.
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.
I love what the Valley does. I love company building. I love startups. I love technology companies. I love new technology. I love this process of invention. Being able to participate in that as a founder and a product creator, or as an investor or a board member, I just find that hugely satisfying.
Technology is like water; it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers, it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.
Any new technology tends to go through a 25-year adoption cycle.
The fact that technology has developed so much gives you the liberty to tell the stories, which were difficult to say earlier. It allows you to tell it more convincingly, more elaborately and more beautifully.
— Mani Ratnam
Technology is improving to prevent musicians from losing their hearing while performing on stage... audience members losing their hearing from listening to loud music… people being able to experience music not just with their ears, but with touch or with through their eyes.
Look at countries like China, they are determined to dominate all clean technology areas, putting lots of money into wind, solar, electric vehicles and battery storage. America's political impotence, caused by their terrible partisanship, will see them left behind.
