A Useful Source for Tech Quotes
December 23, 2013
If you ever feel the need to cite a technology expert to make a point, check out the Technology Quotes page at Woopidoo!, a Web site dedicated to business quotes. With words of wisdom from the likes of Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, and Stephen Hawking, you should be able to find a good argument or two. For example, Steve Jobs encourages us to become a multidisciplinarian:
“To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines.
Steve Jobs – Skill – Technology – Innovation”
Also, Larry Page would have innovators concentrate on the big picture:
“We have always tried to concentrate on the long term, and to place bets on technology we believe will have a significant impact over time. It’s hard to imagine now, but when we started Google most people thought search was a solved problem and that there was no money to be made apart from some banner advertising. We felt the exact opposite: that search quality was very poor, and that awesome user experiences would clearly make money.
Larry Page – Google – Internet – Money – Search – Technology – Focus – Advertising”
Meanwhile, novelist Daniel Quinn cautions us to be mindful of the planet in our zeal to embrace the cutting edge:
“Upwards of two hundred species.. mostly of the large, slow-breeding variety.. are becoming extinct here every day because more and more of the earth’s carrying capacity is systematically being converted into human carrying capacity. These species are being burnt out, starved out, and squeezed out of existence.. thanks to technologies that most people, I’m afraid, think of as technologies of peace. I hope it will not be too long before the technologies that support our population explosion begin to be perceived as no less hazardous to the future of life on this planet than the endless production of radioactive wastes.
Daniel Quinn – Nature – Life – People – World – Technology – Peace – Environmental”
