Luke Perry

Why doesn't Apple stop for a year and make medical devices? When people talk about technology, that's where I start to get a little hot under the collar because I know that it's the key to solving some of the world's biggest problems. Having a faster, thinner telephone is not one of the world's biggest problems.

Wearable devices are here to stay, and they'll only get more sophisticated and effective as they evolve.

Martin Filler

The tall building, concentrating man in one place more densely than ever before, similarly concentrates the dilemma of our public architecture at the end of the twentieth century: whether the new forms made possible by technology are doomed by the low calculations of modern patrons and their architects.

Martin Heidegger

So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.

Martin Heidegger

The threat to man does not come in the first instance from the potentially lethal machines and apparatus of technology. The actual threat has already affected man in his essence. The rule of Enframing threatens man with the possibility that it could be denied to him to enter into a more original revealing and hence to experience the call of a more primal truth

Martin Heidegger

The will to mastery becomes all the more urgent the more technology threatens to slip from human control

It could be used for that. People aren't developing technology for that purpose.

Noam Chomsky
