We cannot sacrifice innocent human life now for vague and exaggerated promises of medical treatments thirty of forty years from now. There are ways to pursue this technology and respect life at the same time.

With tens of thousands of patients dying every year from preventable medical errors it is imperative that we embrace available technologies and drastically improve the way medical records are handled and processed.

Developments in medical technology have long been confined to procedural or pharmaceutical advances while neglecting a most basic and essential component of medicine: patient information management.

The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.

We have the greatest hospitals doctors and medical technology in the world - we need to make them accessible to every American.

It worries me about our unwillingness to really address reforms and modernization in Medicare. This thing was designed 37 years ago. It has not evolved to keep pace with current medical technology.

If we can reduce the cost and improve the quality of medical technology through advances in nanotechnology we can more widely address the medical conditions that are prevalent and reduce the level of human suffering.

As a physician I know many doctors want to utilize new technology but they find the cost prohibitive.

These technologies can make life easier can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups get medical information the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that.

We are led by lawyers who do not understand either technology or balance sheets.

I come from Montana and in eastern Montana we have a lot of dirt between light bulbs. It is expensive trying to bring the new technologies to smaller schools to upgrade their technologies to take advantage of distance learning.

People always ask me if I could live in any other era what would it be and I tell them none! I feel so lucky to live in an age where technology has changed and continues to change and make life so much more exciting. It keeps everyone young and constantly learning new things.

IBM has taken a leadership role in this area and is prepared to be a technology partner with companies around the world to take advantage of these new developments.

Such manifestations I account as representing the creative leadership of the new forces of thought and appreciation which attend changes in technological pattern and therefore of the pattern of human relationships in society.

I want American Dream growth - lots of new businesses well-paying jobs and American leadership in new industries like clean energy and biotechnology.

Just because scientists have the knowledge to do it the technology to do it and some may even have a financial motive or other incentive to do it does not make it right.

If we want to implement climate protection worldwide countries like Germany which are capable of developing new technologies will have to hand over some of their knowledge. We can't expect to have our cake and eat it too.

People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives have more knowledge more information. All this is the result of communications technology. How is any of that bad?

There's no question that as science knowledge and technology advance that we will attempt to do more significant things. And there's no question that we will always have to temper those things with ethics.

Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.

Every major player is working on this technology of artificial intelligence. As of now it's benign... but I would say that the day is not far off when artificial intelligence as applied to cyber warfare becomes a threat to everybody.

People don't want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals robotics artificial intelligence nanotechnology - all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why.

The reason we are doing these types of pat downs and using the advanced imagery technology is trying to take the latest intelligence and how we know al Qaeda and affiliates want to hurt us they want to bring down whether it is passenger air craft or cargo aircraft.

I want to improve TSA's counterterrorism focus through intelligence and cutting edge technology support the TSA workforce and strengthen the agency's relationships with stakeholders and the traveling public. All of these priorities are interconnected and are vital to TSA's mission - and I would say all of our collective mission.
