Diaspora starts about a thousand years from now. Most of human civilisation has moved inside computers essentially a major branch of our descendants consists of conscious software.

I don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.

What's happened with society is that we have created these devices computers which already can register and process huge amounts of information which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves as a species can process.

People assume that computers will do everything that humans do. Not good. People are different from each other and they are all really different from computers.

In fact technology has been the story of human progress from as long back as we know. In 100 years people will look back on now and say 'That was the Internet Age.' And computers will be seen as a mere ingredient to the Internet Age.

We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this.

There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.

Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010 and personal computers will do so by about 2020.

To err is human but to really foul things up you need a computer.

Because I believe that humans are computers I conjectured that computers like people can have left- and right-handed versions.

To err is human but to really foul up requires a computer.

To err is human - and to blame it on a computer is even more so.

Personally I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that once it is competently programmed and working smoothly it is completely honest.

Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit compassion love and understanding.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

I have seen that technology has contributed to improved communication that it's contributed to better health care that it's contributed to better food supplies that it has contributed to all the basic human needs.

You know Quincy Jones was a great mentor but he was a man in a man's world. Fortunately he's a very sensitive man and a beautiful human being and even though he was 14 or 15 years older than me he's a capable human being and has great communication skills.

The church acknowledges some Scientologists choose to sever communications with family members who leave. The church says it is a fundamental human right to cease communication with someone. It adds disconnection is used against expelled members and those who attack the church.

We have to realize only in communication in real knowledge in real reaching out can there be an understanding that there's humanity everywhere and that's what I'm trying to do.

The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting.

But behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense a way of concealing motives and thoughts as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.

Without a possibility of change in meanings human communication could not perform its present functions.

Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success.
