So one begins to wonder what is going to happen to the human race. Technology keeps on advancing with greater and greater power, either for good or for destruction.

If we want technology to serve society rather than enslave it, we have to build systems accessible to all people - be they male or female, young, old, disabled, computer wizards or technophobes.

The next great technology revolution might be around the corner, but it won't automatically improve most people's lives. That will depend on politics, which is indeed ugly but also inescapable.

This is technology that will not go away. And to risk it moving into the hands of a terrorist group like al Qaeda or to other focused enemies of the United States, would have tragic consequences.

Everybody has to be able to participate in a future that they want to live for. That's what technology can do.

My greatest concern is that the emergence of this technology without the appropriate public attention and international controls could lead to an unstable arms race.

I think we have to be more forward-looking when considering any legislation dealing with technology.

We may have to force people to get together in terms of picking a particular type of technology and starting to build to that technology, as opposed to everybody exercising their right to buy their own system, you know, at will.

If you think the technology is infeasible, you don't worry about what it might do and what its potential is.

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.
