John Ratzenberger Quotes

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

Technology is permeating every single thing we do... And to the extent that we can better expose our young people to all the different ways that technology can be used, not just for video games or toys, we're planning for the future.

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

I have always been interested in following the technology that I feel are presenting themselves as true industry and innovation.

As a technologist, I see how AI and the fourth industrial revolution will impact every aspect of people's lives.

I think tech is driving most of the innovation and will continue to for a very, very long time.

The coming changes in technology will be as profound as the creation of the Internet.

Technology is growing in all possible ways. It is affecting our lifestyle also.

In the area of robotics and in the area of connectivity, technology is offering us things that we are vulnerable to - and we have to have a better response than a shrug.

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.

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.

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.

I don't think love for technology itself breeds change.

What is sure is that technological change is accelerating in all directions and, like children playing in a fountain, consumers are reveling in the experience.

Technology has to be invented or adopted.

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

Science and technology is going to change every day for the rest of your lives.

IT for a long time has been about how do you make old processes more efficient. But with all of the progress in digital technology, there is a kind of digital transformation that is occurring. And you see it with the explosion in the number of devices; you see it in the explosion in the number of applications.
