Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages or we remain mute.

Mythology and science both extend the scope of human beings. Like science and technology mythology as we shall see is not about opting out of this world but about enabling us to live more intensely within it.

Everything is fraught with danger. I love technology and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it and it always has been.

We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.

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

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.

Science and technology revolutionize our lives but memory tradition and myth frame our response.

I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an attempt maybe to get my father's respect or interest or maybe it was just a genetic love of technology but I was always trying to build things.

The respect for human rights essential if we are to use technology wisely is not something alien that must be grafted onto science. On the contrary it is integral to science as also to scholarship in general.

Instead in the absence of respect for human rights science and its offspring technology have been used in this century as brutal instruments for oppression.

And what is religion you might ask. It's a technology of living.

It's not just the effect of technology on the environment on religion on the economic structure on society on politics etc. It's that everything now exists in technology to the point where technology is the new and comprehensive host of nature of life.

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.

As social media is less about technology and more about relationship building we are starting to see more women have a heavy influence if not dominant role in the social media space. It's no wonder that Facebook is being run in part by chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg.

I've always been interested in the relationship between total external surround culture the political matrix technology etc. and the internal human consciousness.

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.

Right now we have the most complex relationship with technology that we've ever had. Your regular person has more technology in their life now than the whole world had 100 years ago.

I have a love/hate relationship with just about all technology in my life. My first typewriter in particular. I had a helluva time putting new ribbon on it.

Technology is such a broad kind of term it really applies to so many things from the electric light to running cars on oil. All of these different things can be called technology. I have kind of a love-hate relationship with it as I expect most people do. With the computer I spend so many hours sitting in front of a computer.

Technology gives us power but it does not and cannot tell us how to use that power. Thanks to technology we can instantly communicate across the world but it still doesn't help us know what to say.

We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

As a society I think we express our cultural mores through our politics. We're trying constantly to figure out what's OK and what's not OK. And it's hard because our society is constantly buffeted by gale force winds of technology. Things are always changing.

All tools have intrinsic politics and technology is the tool of now.
