AI might be a powerful technology, but things won't get better simply by adding AI.

SpaceX is only 12 years old now. Between now and 2040, the company's lifespan will have tripled. If we have linear improvement in technology, as opposed to logarithmic, then we should have a...

The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.

The day I made that statement, about inventing the internet, I was tired because I'd been up all night inventing the Camcorder.

The trains that travel the Chunnel are massive machines. The Eurostars are bullet-shaped and a quarter-mile long. They are pulled by a 136,000-pound locomotive and move in the open air at 185 m.p.h....

People are doing amazing things right now on the Web.

Ubuntu is doing amazing things, and I think it's going to change the face of the desktop.

I'm more frightened than interested by artificial intelligence - in fact, perhaps fright and interest are not far away from one another. Things can become real in your mind, you can be tricked, and...

In the future, I think it's pretty plausible that collective intelligence tools and skills will be important in order to be a part of global dialog, global business, and global creativity. People who...

I am aware of the usefulness of science to society and of the benefits society derives from it.

We already have - thanks to technology, development, skills, the efficiency of our work - enough resources to satisfy all human needs. But we don't have enough resources, and we are unlikely ever to...

As computers have become more powerful, computer graphics have advanced to the point where it's possible to create photo-realistic images. The bottleneck wasn't, 'How do we make pixels prettier?' It...

Today, computers help us making the music. It's really a tool.

If I was designing a web site for elementary school children, I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has...

In the practical world of computing, it is rather uncommon that a program, once it performs correctly and satisfactorily, remains unchanged forever.

Yeah, computers are going to take over the programming business because they have become so fast recently that they can solve the Halting Problem in five seconds flat.

Not only have computers changed the way we think, they've also discovered what makes humans think - or think we're thinking. At least enough to predict and even influence it.

When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night.

My father had a big brick cell phone, before anyone had a cell phone, because he was really just into that kind of thing - communication devices. I grew up between my father's laboratory and my...

In the past, before phones and the Internet, all communication was face-to-face. Now, most of it is digital, via emails and messaging services. If people were to start using virtual reality, it would...

I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their...

I recently discovered Artkive, a wonderful app that allows you to archive your child's artwork and create cool gifts like photo albums, mugs, mousepads, etc. It's very easy to use, and since Arabella...

There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order...

I am convinced that grandkids are inherently evil people who tell their grandparents to just go to the library and open up an e-mail account - it's free and so simple.

To ask why we need libraries at all, when there is so much information available elsewhere, is about as sensible as asking if roadmaps are necessary now that there are so very many roads.

Sometimes I get such paranoia that I refresh and wait and wait on the same page until I get an answer???Why??I'm not crazy,...

Mechanism! Everywhere - - mechanism! Devices for getting away from life so complete that there seemed no life to get away from.

To some people, there is no noise on earth as exciting as the sound of three or four big jet engines rising in pitch, as the plane they are sitting in swivels at the end of the runway and, straining...

The screen and keyboard account for much of computers' weight. The intelligent part of a computer is a thousand times smaller than a Gucci buckle.

Technology would have long ago made privacy impossible, except that this had only made it more precious and desirable - - and in the close confines of starship life, respect for another's privacy had...
