Quotes About Innovation

Scientists can also insert a chip into the brain of a patient who is totally paralyzed and connect it to a computer, so that through thought alone that patient can surf the web, read and write e-mails, play video games, control their wheelchair, operate household appliances, and manipulate mechanical arms. In fact, such patients can do anything a normal person can do via a computer.

By 2020, the flat panel displays will likely come in a variety of forms. They will be miniaturized to work as wristwatch screens and may be added to eyeglasses or key chains. Eventually, they will become so cheap they will be everywhere: on the backs of airplane seats, in photo albums, in elevators, on notepads, on billboards, on the sides of buses and trains. They may one day be as common as paper.

The lesson here is that it is very dangerous to bet against the future.

Science and technology are the engines of prosperity. Of course, one is free to ignore science and technology, but only at your peril. The world does not stand still because you are reading a religious text. If you do not master the latest in science and technology, then your competitors will.

Speculation is never a waste of time. It clears away the deadwood in the thickets of deduction. —ELIZABETH PETERS

If you remove a single transistor in the digital computer's central processor, the computer will fail.

Since Einstein derived his famous equation, literally millions of experiments have confirmed his revolutionary ideas.

In other words, the reason why the string theory cannot be solved is that twenty-first mathematics has not yet been discovered.

Atomic machines are actually found in nature. Cells can swim freely in water because they can wiggle tiny hairs. But when one analyzes the joint between the hair and the cell, one sees that it is actually an atomic machine that allows the hair to move in all directions. So one key to developing nanotechnology is to copy nature, which mastered the art of atomic machines billions of years ago.)

The problem is that while twenty-first-century physics fell accidentally into the twentieth century, twenty-first-century mathematics hasn't been invented yet. It seems that we may have to wait for twenty-first-century mathematics before we can make any progress, or the current generation of physicists must invent twenty-first-century mathematics on their own.

By the year 2020 or 2030, all this will finally culminate in personalized DNA codes. Gilbert claims, "You'll be able to go to a drugstore and get your own DNA sequence on a CD, which you can then analyze at home on your Macintosh.

Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. —M. C. ESCHER

If at first an idea does not sound absurd, then there is no hope for it. – ALBERT EINSTEIN

Like the invention of the telescope, the introduction of MRI machines and a variety of advanced brain scans

I'm as fond of my body as anyone, but if I can be 200 with a body of silicon, I'll take it. —DANIEL HILL, COFOUNDER OF THINKING MACHINES CORP.

We are now entering a new golden age of neuroscience.

Bilim ÅŸüphesiz ki iki taraf? keskin bir k?l?çt?r; çözüme ulaÅŸt?rd??? say?da problem yarat?r, ve yaratt??? her problem bir öncekinden hep daha zordur.

La ley de Moore dice simplemente que la potencia de los ordenadores se duplica más o menos cada dieciocho meses.

La idea de crear máquinas pensantes que sean al menos tan listas como los animales, y quizá tan listas o más que nosotros, se hará una realidad si podemos superar el colapso de la ley de Moore y el problema del sentido común, quizá incluso a finales de este siglo.

What we usually consider are impossible are simply engineering problems ... there's no law of physics preventing them

Naves espaciales nanorrobóticas inteligentes, no tripuladas, podrían alcanzar sistemas estelares vecinos con una pequeña fracción del coste de construir y lanzar una enorme nave espacial que lleve una tripulación humana.

CzÄ™sto siÄ™ twierdzi, ?e ze wszystkich teorii powstaÅ'ych w tym stuleciu najgÅ'upsza jest teoria kwantowa. Niektórzy uwa?ajÄ…, ?e na jej korzy?? przemawia wyÅ'Ä…cznie to, i? jest niepodwa?alnie poprawna.

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.

The essence of humor is when our simulation of the future is suddenly disrupted in surprising ways.
