Is it the prophet's thought I speak, or am I raving?
What do I know of life? what of myself?
I know not even my own work past or present,
Dim ever-shifting guesses of it spread before me,
Of newer better worlds, their mighty parturition,
Mocking, perplexing me.

Walt Whitman

Technological Change and Development
and the Philosophy of Technology

I believe that, in the end, technology is going to do more to destroy capitalism than all the revolutions in history.

Gerald V. Bull

If you have plenty of money, the best consequence (so they say) is that you no longer need to think about money. In the future we will have plenty of technology -- and the best consequence will be that we will no longer have to think about technology.

We will return with gratitude and relief to the topics that actually count.

David Gelernter

We must concede that if there are other beings, they are very much farther along in technology than we are. That is not to say that they are infinitely powerful, rather, they have reached the limitations of technology. We do not know what those limits are, but they must exist.
