I myself believe that there will one day be time travel because when we find that something isn't forbidden by the over-arching laws of physics we usually eventually find a technological way of doing it.
When dealing in the technology it becomes a question of whether you overuse something. I think that's worse than having something technologically available to you and not using it.
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.
The demographic weight of countries such as China and India exercise a massive pressure on our wages and salaries. They have accomplished massive technological advances and the revolution in information technology has reduced the costs of transport.
Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.
We cannot escape that Hollywood is in the middle of a wave of technological change. The current angst over all the implications of new entertainment technology is nothing new.
Internet entrepreneurs are using technology at every level of their company - from a one-person agency to a small firm the newest technological advances are interwoven throughout every aspect of Internet-based businesses.
My goal for technology has always been to reach a point where the technological mediation becomes invisible.
People are naming it the Third Wave the Information Age etc. but I would say those are basically technological descriptions and this next shift is not about technology - although obviously it will be influenced and in some cases expressed by technologies.
Our technological powers increase but the side effects and potential hazards also escalate.
Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.
Then I realized that there is an indigenous presence in the Solar System. It's us. So then I got to wondering what would happen if a more technologically advanced society moved next door to us the way we moved next door to the American Indians.
Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.
Deep down the US with its space its technological refinement its bluff good conscience even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation is the only remaining primitive society.
Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure but it has great difficulty in generating joy.
We're as clever as we think we are but we'll be a lot cleverer when we learn to use not just one brain but to pool huge numbers of brains. We're at a level technologically where we can share information and think collectively about our problems. We do it in science all the time - there's no reason why we can't do it in other endeavors.
The pace of technological change in recent years has been both impressive and positive for consumers.
