~ Gillian Tans
I know it sounds strange to say, but the very technologies that have made traveling easier for most people - GPS, automated ticket machines, online schedules and ticketing, boarding passes you can print out at home - have actually made things harder for me.
~ Philip Schultz
We are living in the machine age. For the first time in history the comedian has been compelled to supply himself with jokes and comedy material to compete with the machine. Whether he knows it or not, the comedian is on a treadmill to oblivion.

The 'Star Trek' future, to me, is where we are headed. Everything is automated, and we are free to pursue our dreams. We are free to pursue lives that aren't about working and toiling away in dangerous jobs. For example, how many of us would love to be poets, or how many of us would love to be artists?
~ Gray Scott

It's hard to be decent in a money world. We want to shut down all repetitious jobs, automate it, free people.
~ Jacque Fresco
In 1911, Frederick Winslow Taylor's classic The Principles of Scientific Management enshrined the machine model for several generations. This approach to management rests on three premises: 1 In principle it is possible to know all you need to know to be able to plan what to do. 2 Planners and doers should be separated. 3 "There is but one right way." A manager was a programmer of robot workers. The essence of management was to create perfect plans and tell people precisely
~ Stephen Bungay
As a personal comparison, my total lifetime output of published material has been a bit under 3 million words, and over the past 30 years I've written about 15 million words of email, and altogether typed perhaps 50 million words—and in just the past couple of years I've spoken more than 10 million words on livestreams. And, yes, I'll train a bot from all of that.)
~ Stephen Wolfram
We're going to be able to ask our computers to monitor things for us, and when certain conditions happen, are triggered, the computers will take certain actions and inform us after the fact.
~ Steve Jobs
Look at trade and automation: two competing but slightly overlapping forces in the shrinking of the duration of jobs right now. We have to be able to talk honestly about how disrupted this world is going to be, and it is crazy to mislead people and say we're going to bring back all of the big factory jobs by creating a protectionist regime.

~ Chrystia Freeland
How strange it was to be inside a machine again! All his life he'd been inside machines, whether he realised it or not. Modern houses were machines. Shopping centres were machines. Schools. Cars. Trains. Cities. They were all sophisticated technological constructs, wired up with lights and motors. You switched them on, and didn't spare them a thought while they pampered you with unnatural services.
~ Michel Faber
Claude Shannon, the father of information theory, once declared, "I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I'm rooting for the machines.
~ Michio Kaku
trabajos de intermediario, haciendo inventarios y recuentos. Esto significa que los representantes, corredores, dependientes, contables, etcétera, serán despedidos gradualmente a medida que sus puestos de trabajo vayan desapareciendo. Estos empleos se encuadran en lo que se llama «la fricción del capitalismo». Ahora mismo ya es posible comprar un billete de avión buscando en la web los mejores precios, prescindiendo del agente de viajes.
~ Michio Kaku
The 3-D printers of the future might be able to re-create the delicate tissues that constitute functioning organs or the machine parts necessary to make a self-replicating robot.
~ Michio Kaku
En algún momento debemos esperar que las máquinas tomen el control. ALAN TURING
