Patrick Stewart Quotes

Sex times technology equals the future.

Nanotechnology has been moving a little faster than I expected, virtual reality a little slower.

I think about the Internet and cell phones and jets and spaceships, and I wonder, 'What's going to make that look ancient?'

We live in a science fictional world with things like cloning and face transplants, and things seem to be getting stranger and stranger.

If we could communicate at the speed of thought, we can augment our creativity with the low-level stuff that AI and robots and 3-D printers and fab labs and all that do.

I imagine a day, some time in the not too distant future when children and teenagers will be able to create their own genetically engineered machines, cure the diseases of the old and find new ways to build and extend the capabilities of humanity, moving from programming software to programing the physical world, through biology.

Within our lifetimes, we will be able to push out enough computational power to simulate reality.

We have artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D-printing, robotics and nanotechnology that have changed the face of modern medicine. It is essential for Indian doctors to familiarise themselves with the latest developments to be able to control technology and not the other way around.

I'd like to know what the Internet is going to look like in 2050. Thinking about it makes me wish I were eight years old.

The world got enamored with smartphones and tablets, but what's interesting is those devices don't do everything that needs to be done. Three-D printing, virtual-reality computing, robotics are all controlled by PCs.

I'm a big technology individual. I love science and technology, and anything that has to do with capturing events so that they can be experienced later.

Growing new limbs, copying internal organs like a Xerox machine, exponential increases in computing power, better eyes and ears - I could read stories like this endlessly.

Technology is making design more exciting, with color, wallpaper, textures, fabrics that could never have been created without the technology.

Science fiction has these obsessions with certain sciences - large scale engineering, neuroscience.

I think Google is a great company, and they're doing really cool things. But they're not doing things that are going to put us, I think, into the next generation of technology.

I wrote the first book, Harvest of Stars, and as I was writing it, I saw that certain implications had barely been touched on... It's perfectly obvious that two completely revolutionary things are going on, with cybernetics, and biological science.

I had a great time creating the future on 'Minority Report,' and it's a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would.

Post-human intelligence will develop hypercomputers with the processing power to simulate living things - even entire worlds. Perhaps advanced beings could use hypercomputers to surpass the best 'special effects' in movies or computer games so vastly that they could simulate a world, fully, as complex as the one we perceive ourselves to be in.

The truth of Moore's law has made remarkable things possible. On the software side, I think natural user interfaces in all their forms are equally significant.

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.

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence.

We build our technologies as a way of addressing all our anxieties and desires. They are our passions congealed into these prosthetic extensions of ourselves. And they do it in a way that reflects what we dream ourselves capable of doing.

In fact, there was general agreement that minds can exist on nonbiological substrates and that algorithms are of central importance to the existence of minds.

Ultimately, I hypothesize that technology will one day be able to recreate a realistic representation of us as a result of the plethora of content we're creating converging with other advances in machine learning, robotics and large-scale data mining.

You never know, the way technology is going, we might all use the games for scouting by the time I retire.
