23. There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on. - Mark Zuckerberg
24. Did you ever spell a word so bad that your spell check has absolutely no clue what you're trying to spell? What do you end up getting, you end up getting, like, a question mark. You got a million dollars of technology just looking back at you like, 'You got me, buddy. Which is pretty amazing because I have all the words.' - Bill Burr

Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman? - Barack Obama
38. The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment. - Steve Jobs
39. I'm sorry, it's true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We're born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It's been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much - if at all. - Steve Jobs
40. I think it's brought the world a lot closer together, and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything; there are unintended consequences to everything.

83. The key to making things affordable is design and technology improvements, as well as scale. - Elon Musk
84. The X is an amazing car, but we kind of got carried away with the art and technology. Obviously, you want great art. You want great technology.

93. Ever since the Industrial Revolution, investments in science and technology have proved to be reliable engines of economic growth. If homegrown interest in those fields is not regenerated soon, the comfortable lifestyle to which Americans have become accustomed will draw to a rapid close. - Neil deGrasse Tyson
94. The humanists' replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you'll either save yourself or you'll be immortal. Of course, that's a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there's no ethical progress whatsoever. - David Bowie
