Without competition, the spectacular development of technology that we have seen in the last one hundred years in this country would not have happened.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Technology has transformed how we live, learn and work, but not everyone has been able to participate in these developments.
I want to see what technology's going to be like in a few hundred years, if the human race hasn't completely obliterated itself by then.
Technology changes all the time; human nature, hardly ever.
Even some of the greatest technology-led revolutions, or allegedly technology-led, really were only made possible because of trends already present.
In public, an admission of technological inadequacy would be too embarrassing.
For example, it's only about 20 years ago the people in that community would have got telephone lines, and it would be only about in the 1950s that electricity came to that part of the world. Television wouldn't have come till 1970.
Inventions have long since reached their limit, and I see no hope for further development.
For 300 years, higher education was not disruptable because there was no technological core.
There is no technology today that cannot be defeated by social engineering.
The problem is that there are very few technologies that essentially haven't changed for 60, 70 years.
