More From Kevin Kelly

The most revolutionary aspect of technology is its mobility. anybody can learn it. it jumps easily over barriers of race and language. ... the new technology of microchips and computer software is learned much faster than the old technology of coal and iron. it took three generations of misery for the older industrial countries to master the technology of coal and iron. the new industrial countries of east asia, south korea, and singapore and taiwan, mastered the new technology and made the jump from poverty to wealth in a single generation.

What’s next for technology and design? a lot less thinking about technology for technology’s sake, and a lot more thinking about design. art humanizes technology and makes it understandable. design is needed to make sense of information overload. it is why art and design will rise in importance during this century as we try to make sense of all the possibilities that digital technology now affords.

Life is the ultimate technology. machine technology is a temporary surrogate for life technology. as we improve our machines they will become more organic, more biological, more like life, because life is the best technology for living.

Technology isn't a villain. technology should help, but if you just use the technology for the sake of technology, then you're cheating your audience. you're not giving them the best story and the best direction and so forth.
Cheating Technology Giving
I have no opposition at all to technology. i think technology is a wonderful thing that has to be used thoughtfully, and we can't just assume that every bit of new technology improvesthe quality of life; it's really in how the technology is used. what i am very disturbed about is this trend of everything happening faster and faster and faster and there being more and more general noise in the world, and less and less time for quiet reflection on who we are, and where we're going.
Technology Thinking Reflection
Anyone who has studied the history of technology knows that technological change is always a faustian bargain: technology giveth and technology taketh away, and not always in equal measure. a new technology sometimes creates more than it destroys. sometimes, it destroys more than it creates. but it is never one-sided. the invention of the printing press is an excellent example. printing fostered the modern idea of individuality but it destroyed the medieval sense of community and social integration.

Similar Quotes
The fact that cultures are failing all over the world means that they don't know how to operate a society to make it work. politicians have no real knowledge of technology; therefore, they are not capable of increasing food production, designing transportations systems that are safe… they have no knowledge in that area. therefore it's senseless to talk to them about anything of significance.
Real Mean Technology
I obviously use computers. my car is wondrous. my phone is amazing. i've already talked about the music i'm digitizing. technology is fantastic, of course.

I don't believe [africa] is ready to shift - and she needs to shift. so she needs to get the technology and she can only get that technology from the developed world.

For the blue-collar worker, the driving force behind change was factory automation using programmable machine tools. for the office worker, it's office automation using computer technology: enterprise-resource-planning systems, groupware, intranets, extranets, expert systems, the web, and e-commerce.
