This would only come if you have a revolutionary change in technology like the jet brought about.

As a matter of fact when compression technology came along we thought the future in 1996 was about voice. We got it wrong. It is about voice video and data and that is what we have today on these cell phones.

In my column series 'The Main Thing ' I often talk about how Internet technology can improve the way people communicate - both within a business and between a business and its customers and partners.

Technology may create a condition but the questions are what do we do about ourselves. We better understand ourselves pretty clearly and we better find ways to like ourselves.

I've been looking at the iPod- the Apple iPod. One of the interesting things about the iPod one of the things that people love most about it is not the technology it's the box it comes in.

If you think the technology is infeasible you don't worry about what it might do and what its potential is.

Don't leave hold of your common sense. Think about what you're doing and how the technology can enhance it. Don't think about technology first.

So many times these kids know more about the technology than their parents. And so many times we're putting kids in very adult situations and expecting them to behave like they're 40 years old. Well that's just not going to happen.

You can have the best technology in the world but if you don't have a community who wants to use it and who are excited about it then it has no purpose.

Since fantasy isn't about technology the accelleration has no impact at all. But it's changed the lives of fantasy writers and editors. I get to live in England and work for a New York publisher!

I spend so much time on the screen when I am writing the last thing you want to do is spend more time on the Internet looking at a screen. That's what I hate about all this technology.

We're in a time now where technology is such that we can create anything and that's what's new about television and film these days.

I've been so entwined with technology since I was about 15 recording myself and multitracking and producing things on my own.

I've been really excited about some new cutting edge electronic music and technology.

I absolutely believe that a lot of the issues raised in 'Amped' about technology migrating into our bodies are issues that we're really going to deal with soon.

I suppose that every time there is difficulty. I remember about Space Mountain: It took us ten years before we found the technology that would allow such a ride. And during these ten years I had a model that I kept waiting for the technology we needed.

People are naming it the Third Wave the Information Age etc. but I would say those are basically technological descriptions and this next shift is not about technology - although obviously it will be influenced and in some cases expressed by technologies.

Every time somebody tries to go in and reinvent what we do it always ends up being more about technology and sets and flash and dash forgetting the main thing which is interesting people saying interesting important things.

Readers probably haven't heard much about it yet but they will. Quantum technology turns ordinary reality upside down.

What's happened with computer technology is perfectly timed for someone with my set of skills. I tell stories with pictures. What I love about CGI is that if I can think it it can be put on the screen.

What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can't imagine until you come up with the idea. It's idea-based. You can do anything.

I definitely think what drives technology companies is the people because in a technology company it's always about what are you going to do next.

The most important thing about technology is that it can seamlessly work its way into your routine and your life.

The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before and so in a sense it is all about potential.
