The great paradox of the 21st century is that in this age of powerful technology the biggest problems we face internationally are problems of the human soul.

Stop relying only on technology.Technology can help the qualified well-trained human being but cannot replace him.

I am a technological activist. I have a political agenda. I am in favor of basic human rights: to free speech to use any information and technology to purchase and use recreational drugs to enjoy and purchase so-called 'vices' to be free of intruders and to privacy.

If the human race wants to go to hell in a basket technology can help it get there by jet.

The world changes materially. Science makes advances in technology and understanding. But the world of humanity doesn't change.

I have argued above that we cannot prevent the Singularity that its coming is an inevitable consequence of the humans' natural competitiveness and the possibilities inherent in technology.

It's true that humanity has seen a succession of crises wars and atrocities but this negative side is offset by advances in technology and cultural exchanges.

But now with technology I could sit down and do a bunch of character drawings and scan them into a computer and the computer using my exact style could bring it into life where it would have been edited by various human beings before.

Technology is a wonderful tool but also if used incorrectly a horrible tool. We're fascinated by all aspects of it whatever makes our human lives easier on the planet but eventually there will have to be some sort of merger. The fascination isn't going to die down.

Modern technology has become a total phenomenon for civilization the defining force of a new social order in which efficiency is no longer an option but a necessity imposed on all human activity.

We've been co-evolving with our technology for a hundred thousand years. Human beings and the technology we make were always inseparable. We're finally coming into this moment where it's coming inside our body for the first time in history.

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?

We must learn to balance the material wonders of technology with the spiritual demands of our human race.

So one begins to wonder what is going to happen to the human race. Technology keeps on advancing with greater and greater power either for good or for destruction.

Stone Age. Bronze Age. Iron Age. We define entire epics of humanity by the technology they use.

I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.

Technology is us. There is no separation. It's a pure expression of human creative will. It doesn't exist anywhere else in the universe. I'm rather sure of that.
