My vision is for a fully reusable rocket transport system between Earth and Mars that is able to re-fuel on Mars - this is very important - so you don't have to carry the return fuel when you go there.
— Elon Musk
Technology does not run backward. Once a technical capability is out there, it is out there for good.
— Ellen Ullman
I don't know where anyone ever got the idea that technology, in and of itself, was a savior. Like all human-created 'progress,' computers are problematic, giving and taking away.
We are involved in technology development for, you know, missions that we hope to plan that would take us to an asteroid and eventually to Mars.
— Ellen Ochoa
We need to develop clean, affordable, and reliable energy sources, and frankly, we need to license that technology to the rest of the world.
— Elizabeth Esty
The powers that technology and independent contracting give to workers enables them to take greater control of their careers to preserve work-life balance.
— Elise Stefanik
Intelligence is the source of technology. If we can use technology to improve intelligence, that closes the loop and potentially creates a positive feedback cycle.
— Eliezer Yudkowsky
Israel stands proudly at the forefront of international achievement. The world's leading corporations - Google, Intel and Motorola, to name but a few - maintain research and development facilities here, and our technology start-ups continue to be acquired by the likes of AOL, eBay and IBM.
— Ehud Olmert
Lucasfilm has always had an openness to technology.
— Edwin Catmull
The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it.
— Edward R. Murrow
History buffs expect historical background in historical fiction. Mystery readers expect forensics and police procedure in crime fiction. Westerns - gasp - describe the West. Techno-thriller readers expect to learn something about technology from their fiction.
— Edward M. Lerner
In the category of economic superpowers, more is better than less - the more technology those leaders develop, the more we all benefit.
— Edward C. Prescott
What we are witnessing is the birth of something I call 'Polisdigitocracy.' This is a form of government that counts participation and transparency as its cornerstones and uses technology as its guide. The digital revolution is allowing democracy to recall its foundations and evolution is modernizing and reinforcing our fundamental values.
— Eduardo Paes
The primary way that we know about what lives in the ocean is we go out and drag nets behind ships. And I defy you to name any other branch of science that still depends on hundreds-of-year-old technology. The other primary way is we go down with submersibles and remote- operated vehicles. I've made hundreds of dives in submersibles.
— Edith Widder
I've always felt that technology companies have disrespected the content creation process, and the content creation people disrespect technology.
— Eddy Cue
We know that al Qaeda is seeking radioactive materials and technology to launch a devastating attack, and that hundreds of radioactive sources have been lost or stolen in the U.S. and around the world.
— Ed Markey
The system of nature, of which man is a part, tends to be self-balancing, self-adjusting, self-cleansing. Not so with technology.
— E. F. Schumacher
Silicon Valley has some of the smartest engineers and technology business people in the world.
Y2K has challenged a belief in digital technology that has been almost religious.
So many people I talk to who work in technology, you ask them, 'What got you interested in science?' and those from my generation say, 'The Apollo landings.'
— Ellen Stofan
Those inevitable dreams where you can't get your column in, you know, and at first they were the Xerox telecopy, and then they were the fax machine, and then they were, you know, email. The anxiety remains the same, but the technology has changed.
— Ellen Goodman
We all know Sen. Feinstein is out of touch, but just to make it worse, by not embracing today's technology, she isn't even connected. Out of touch and disconnected.
— Elizabeth Emken
Technology is the foundation of the empowerment economy.
Since the rise of Homo sapiens, human beings have been the smartest minds around. But very shortly - on a historical scale, that is - we can expect technology to break the upper bound on intelligence that has held for the last few tens of thousands of years.
My best advice came by examples. A supportive environment at home, school, and grad school. Support at the New York Institute of Technology, then George Lucas, Steve Jobs, and Bob Iger. The examples meant that I should support other people, even when things aren't going well. It will pay off.
The minimum we should hope for with any display technology is that it should do no harm.
— Edward Tufte
A satellite has no conscience.
Social media and technology are democratising and opening up fashion and the process of fashion for all - this has good and bad sides, but that comes with any change.
— Edward Enninful
I like to think of Photography 1.0 as the invention of photography. Photography 2.0 is digital technology and the move from film and paper to everything on a chip. Photography 3.0 is the use of the camera, space, and color and to capture an object in the third dimension.
— Edward Burtynsky
Broadband, wireless, and technology services have become a vibrant sector of our national economy with the potential to both empower and invest in our communities.
— Eduardo Bhatia
The history of the music industry is inevitably also the story of the development of technology. From the player piano to the vinyl disc, from reel-to-reel tape to the cassette, from the CD to the digital download, these formats and devices changed not only the way music was consumed, but the very way artists created it.
— Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
I'd like people to be educated on the voting machines, making sure that our democracy isn't being hijacked by computer technology. There's no reason there can't be a paper trail on those machines.
— Eddie Vedder
Scientists at MIT and engineering schools all across America say that they could improve the fuel economy standards for the existing set of vehicles by 10 miles per gallon using existing technology, without compromising safety or comfort at all.
Technology is playing an increasing role in our industry, and we at Colliers are keenly focused on the impact of some of the technology platforms. We have invested in or partnered with some firms to make sure we know what is happening within the disruptive technologies in the industry.
— Dylan Taylor
So many people for so many years have promoted technology as the answer to everything. The economy wasn't growing: technology. Poor people: technology. Illness: technology. As if, somehow, technology in and of itself would be a solution. Yet machine values are not always human values.
It's possible to let technology absorb what we know and then re-express it in intricate mechanisms - parts and circuit boards and software objects - mechanisms we can use but do not understand in crucial ways. This not-knowing is fine while everything works as we expected.
I hope to continue to inspire our nation's youth to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math so they, too, may reach for the stars.
We just have to do better as a country on incorporating the best technology to allow us to get where we want to get quickly and safely.
Architecture is a technology. And it's involved in all of the different networks of systems that produce architecture - including politics, economics, social and cultural conditions. So architecture is already in technology.
— Elizabeth Diller
Technology is neutral: It convicts and finds innocents. We must make it a regularized part of the system, giving defendants access to DNA testing and evidence whenever it might be relevant.
— Eliot Spitzer
One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.
— Elbert Hubbard
We need business leaders who have a respect for technical issues even if they don't have technical backgrounds. In a lot of U.S. industries, including cars and even computers, many managers don't think of technology as a core competency, and this attitude leads them to farm out technical issues.
The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.
— Edward Teller
Many a fine SF story uses science or technology merely as backdrop. Many a fine SF story presumes a technological breakthrough and explores its implications without attempting to predict how the thing might actual work.
I've always been very fascinated by technology - the Internet, social media.
I have always been interested in following the technology that I feel are presenting themselves as true industry and innovation.
As Chair of the Broadband and Technology Task Force, I will strive to ensure that legislative and regulatory policy making on these rapidly evolving services takes fully into account the needs of the Latino community.
One thing you know, if you've been in technology a while, you're only as good as the last thing you did. No one wants an original iPod. No one wants an iPhone 3GS.
Energy has become a national security issue and as technology continues to improve, there will be more debates like the one on Keystone.
— Ed Royce
No one has ever been able to stop the process and evolution of technology, not even I.B.M. That is going to continue. Those who grab it and move ahead with it will determine the future in this industry.
— Eckhard Pfeiffer
