Quotes About Technology

If you look at the various strategies available for dealing with a new technology, sticking your head in the sand is not the most plausible strategy.

We can grow crops less expensively because molecular manufacturing technology is inherently low cost.

Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and cellular level, yet today's surgical tools are too large to deal with that kind of problem.

The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom, and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this.

If we attempt to block the development of new technology, we effectively have ensured that the most responsible parties will not develop them.

A molecular manufacturing technology will let us build molecular surgical tools, and those tools will, for the first time, let us directly address the problems at the very root level.

If we can reduce the cost and improve the quality of medical technology through advances in nanotechnology, we can more widely address the medical conditions that are prevalent and reduce the level of human suffering.

Lighter computers and lighter sensors would let you have more function in a given weight, which is very important if you are launching things into space, and you have to pay by the pound to put things there.

Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We'll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today.

Well, that was a huge step. We had an instruction set. We could move data around. We could do conditionals. We could do most of the things a simple chip can do. We had the visual cortex for our display. The auditory cortex for our speakers. The motor cortex for our input. On top of that, we could write any damn software we wanted.

That would've been way too hard. We wanted to do neuroscience, not operating system development. So

Fortune Town IT Mall and buy software and electronics of all sorts very, very, very cheap,

Other people will reverse-engineer the technology. They'll remove the safeguards, or figure out how to build a clone system that doesn't have them. That's how it always works. Once the genie is out of the bottle, you can't control what they do.

One of the significant aspects of Love, Death + Robots is that it offers up a buffet of the visual styles and technologies available in animation today.

In Silicon Valley, most engineers work on projects that will never be completed- this holds true at large companies as well as small.
