Rana el Kaliouby Quotes

New technologies, however remarkable they might seem, are fundamentally just tools made by people for people.

There are technologies you couldn't predict at all when I started.

The purpose of technology is not to confuse the brain but to serve the body.

Computers are still technology because we are still wrestling with it: it's still being invented; we're still trying to work out how it works. There's a world of game interaction to come that you or I wouldn't recognise. It's time for the machines to disappear. The computer's got to disappear into all of the things we use.

I think that integrating information to everyday objects will not only help us to get rid of the digital divide, the gap between these two worlds, but will also help us, in some way, to stay human, to be more connected to our physical world.

My life project is humanizing technology: making technology more real and bringing it back into human interactions.

The digital world has power because it has dynamic information, but it's important that we stay human instead of being another machine sitting in front of a machine.

I'm fascinated by technology and how it is changing the way we live and view our humanity.

I've come to a view that humans will continue to do what we do well, and that computers will continue to do what they do very well, and the two will coexist, but in different spaces.

Technology is at the forefront of everything these days - communication, work. It's amazing and scary at the same time how robots have evolved, but I find it hard to believe that robots will completely rule the world. Not in my lifetime anyway.

My goal for technology has always been to reach a point where the technological mediation becomes invisible.

Technology is only an enabler, which can help achieve the intention of the person who is using it.

The world that our children living in is going to be completely different because of big data.

My little self-analysis is that consumer technology is the closest thing we have to magic. You push a button and something happens at your command. The things that get me fired up the most have always been the things that seem the most magical.

The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.

I think I'd take a human butler over a robot one.

We speak of 'software eating the world,' 'the Internet of Things,' and we massify 'data' by declaring it 'Big.' But these concepts remain for the most part abstract. It's hard for many of us to grasp the impact of digital technology on the 'real world' of things like rocks, homes, cars, and trees. We lack a metaphor that hits home.

People need to understand how exponential technologies are impacting the business landscape. They need to do some future-casting and look at how industries are evolving and being transformed.

We need to get smarter about hardware and software innovation in order to get the most value from the emerging Internet of Things.

Through our evolution, we're so specialized for social interaction. So, if you can really design robots that can interact with people, in this very natural, interpersonal way, I think that would be great. You wouldn't have to have people read manuals, in order to operate them.

I like to think of it as this new field. Instead of computer science, it's going to be virtual science.

We humans have a love-hate relationship with our technology. We love each new advance and we hate how fast our world is changing... The robots really embody that love-hate relationship we have with technology.

Technology has brought us further than man could ever imagine, and it makes all information available. But it might not do the same exact thing that one human being asking another human being might do.

We're already cyborgs. Your phone and your computer are extensions of you, but the interface is through finger movements or speech, which are very slow.

I am extraordinarily fascinated by the future of technology. We are in the early infancy of technology, and we have an opportunity to guide how technology develops and integrates into our lives. I talk a lot about the 'invisible interface,' or the idea that we can utilize technology without being absorbed into a screen.
