Developments in information technology and globalised media mean that the most powerful military in the history of the world can lose a war not on the battlefield of dust and blood but on the battlefield of world opinion.

The rapid dissemination of technology and information offers entirely new ways of production but it can also bring the spectre of more states developing weapons of mass destruction.

Without competition the spectacular development of technology that we have seen in the last one hundred years in this country would not have happened.

Technology should be an important ingredient. It may be and should be a tool for social development.

We are involved in technology development for you know missions that we hope to plan that would take us to an asteroid and eventually to Mars.

My goals over the decade include to develop new drugs to treat intractable diseases by using iPS cell technology and to conduct clinical trials using it on a few patients with Parkinson's diseases diabetes or blood diseases.

When you look at other countries that are developing the capabilities and the technology to deploy missiles of very significant destructive capability with nuclear chemical or biological warheads then the MAD dogma makes even less sense.

Further the United States is moving ahead in the development of clean coal technology. There are vast coal reserves in our country and when it is burned cleanly coal can provide a resource to supply a large amount of our energy requirements.

We are the number one economy in the world and we ought to continue to pursue those kinds of policies that ensure that we maintain that position like innovation and like technology and like education and like just research and development and discovery.

Well Microsoft really does develop some really interesting technology.

Our technology is very scalable. Our software can accommodate enormous numbers of clients. It's a marvelous opportunity. We'll keep developing products.

For over 15 years through the clean coal programs of the Department of Energy the Federal Government has been a solid partner working jointly with private companies and the states to develop and demonstrate a new generation of environmentally clean technology using coal.

Accordingly it is our task to ensure that the Government formulates policies that foster the continued development of the IT sector while also providing for citizens' access to technology and opportunity for economic advancement.

People always underestimate the impact of technology. To give you an example: In the 1970s the frontier for offshore development was 200 meters today it is 4 000 meters.

So the major obstacle to the development of new supplies is not geology but what happens above ground: international affairs politics investment and technology.

While the technology revolution has yet to reach far into the households of those in developing countries this is certainly another area where more developed countries can assist those in the less developed world.

If we attempt to block the development of new technology we effectively have ensured that the most responsible parties will not develop them.

The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this.

I knew I wanted to do something at the nexus of what I call global development and technology.

I have never come across a technology that doesn't change. This is inevitable. You have to adapt your systems as technology develops.

If we invest in researching and developing energy technology we'll do some real good in the long run rather than just making ourselves feel good today. But climate change is not the only challenge of the 21st century and for many other global problems we have low-cost durable solutions.

World War II had a very important impact on the development of technology as a whole.

If you really want to improve technology if you want things to work better and be better you've got to protect the person who spends a lot of effort money and time developing that new technology.

Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.
