Machines seem to sense that I am afraid of them. It makes them hostile.

Technology is so much fun, but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.

The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.

The civilized man has built a coach but has lost the use of his feet.

The ability to store our data externally helps us imagine that our time is limitless, our space infinite.

When man wanted to make a machine that would walk, he created the wheel, which does not resemble a leg.
