There is no single development in either technology or management technique which by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvement within a decade in productivity in reliability in simplicity.
I really believe that we don't have to make a trade-off between security and privacy. I think technology gives us the ability to have both.
Technology has saved us money in some circumstances but it has really afforded us the ability to cover stories from locations we might not have been able to in the past.
Ten years ago U.S. defence investment represented almost half of all defence expenditure in the whole alliance. Today it is 75%. This increasing economic gap may also lead to an increasing technology gap which will almost hamper the inter-operability between our forces.
Civilization depends on our expanding ability to produce food efficiently which has markedly accelerated thanks to science and technology.
When you look at other countries that are developing the capabilities and the technology to deploy missiles of very significant destructive capability with nuclear chemical or biological warheads then the MAD dogma makes even less sense.
Today 80 percent of all the oil that comes out of the Gulf is from 1 000 feet or more and today almost a third of it is more than 5 000 feet below the surface. What hasn't happened is the safety and the ability to respond to a negative event such as this blowout has been far outrun by the technology of drilling itself. We need to close that gap.
Take therefore what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally.That in my view gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.
The goal for many amputees is no longer to reach a 'natural' level of ability but to exceed it using whatever cutting-edge technology is available. As this new generation sees it our tools are evolving faster than the human body so why obey the limits of mere nature?
These days the technology can solve our problems and then some. Solutions may not only erase physical or mental deficits but leave patients better off than "able-bodied" folks. The person who has a disability today may have a superability tomorrow.
Technology is driving the innovation. Technology is driving the creativity. Technology and the use of that is going to determine our workers' ability to compete in the 21st century global marketplace.
If your goal is anything but profitability - if it's to be big or to grow fast or to become a technology leader - you'll hit problems.
Don't let that weapon technology proliferate. Don't let Saddam Hussein get capability for nuclear or chemical weapons because he's already shown a willingness to use any weapon at his disposal.
My younger sister had kids before I did and managed to earn a master's degree while raising them as a single parent. Now she's a brilliant second-grade teacher. I'm in awe of her ability to juggle everything and still be a great mother.
In other words if a teacher only teaches in one way then they conclude that the kids who can't learn well that way don't have the ability when in fact it may be that the way the teacher's teaching is not a particularly good match to the way those kids learn.
Success is what you do with your ability. It's how you use your talent.
People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.
