Theodosius Dobzhansky Quotes

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.

We are living, we have long been told, in the Information Age. Yet now we are faced with the sickening suspicion that technology has run ahead of us.

If you trace the history of mankind, our evolution has been mediated by technology, and without technology it's not really obvious where we would be. So I think we have always been cyborgs in this sense.

Technology is a wonderful tool, but also if used incorrectly a horrible tool. We're fascinated by all aspects of it, whatever makes our human lives easier on the planet, but eventually there will have to be some sort of merger. The fascination isn't going to die down.

I truly hope that we can evolve with technology, and use it for the benefit of all mankind, but history might suggest otherwise.

Where the world is going and what technology is leading us to in terms of the evolution of humanity is an incredibly valuable thing to understand.

With science, technology and globalization, man is changing the world faster than his evolution can keep up with the new dangers.

In the end the question is: Who is to be master, man or his machines? As long as the control over technology rests primarily on economic calculation, the victor is not likely to be man.

Technology is a wonderful thing if you are putting it to use, less so if it is putting an end to your usefulness.

Technology itself is neither good nor bad. People are good or bad.

The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.

We cannot turn back the clock. We cannot undo the impact of technology. Nor would we want to.

With any advent in technology, any technological innovation, there is the good and the bad.

I think that every generation will say that technology has gone too far. That's probably always going to be the case. We can't even imagine what our children will have in their adult lives.

The tech genie is out of the bottle; you can't put it back in.

Technology doesn't just do things for us. It does things to us, changing not just what we do but who we are.
