- The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.
- Arthur C. Clarke (1917 - ), Technology and the Future
- Technology... the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.
- Max Frisch
- Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.
- Omar Bradley (1893 - 1981)
- It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.
- John Von Neumann (ca. 1949)
- Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it.
- Max Frisch, `Homo Faber'
- Because we do not understand the brain very well we are constantly tempted to use the latest technology as a model for trying to understand it. In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard. ('What else could it be?') I was amused to see that Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought that the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electro-magnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill, and I am told some of the ancient Greeks thought the brain functions like a catapult. At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital computer.
- John R. Searle, MINDS, BRAINS AND SCIENCE, p 44
