• Modern technology has conveniently provided a measuring stick by which you can determine whether or not you are conducting your business in an acceptable, ethical way. . . . You can ask yourself: How will I feel if my business dealings today are secretly recorded on a hidden video camera, and appear on this evening's television newscast for all to see?

• The environmental crisis is somber evidence of an insidious fraud hidden in the vaunted productivity and wealth of modern, technology-based society. This wealth has been gained by rapid short-term exploitation of the environmental system, but it has blindly accumulated a debt to nature-a debt so large and so pervasive that in the next generation it may, if unpaid, wipe out most of the wealth it has gained us.

• The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.

• It seems like I always wrote, I just didn't think of it as a career choice. I just liked to tell stories ... to myself, to pen pals (I had a lot of them, all over the world). Of course this was in the days before computers were everywhere, and anyone could access the Web. You had to make an effort keeping up a correspondence, and the arrival of the mail once a day was a big deal. I think if modern technology had been around when I was a kid, I would never have left my bedroom except to take the dogs out for their run three times a day.

• A pesar de los deslumbrantes éxitos de la tecnología moderna y del poder sin precedentes de los sistemas militares modernos, adolecen de un defecto común y catastrófico. Al tiempo que nos proporcionan un abundante suministro de alimentos, grandes plantas industriales, transporte de alta velocidad y armas militares de una potencia sin precedentes, amenazan nuestra propia supervivencia.

• Hoy en día, a la gente le gusta estar junta, no a la antigua usanza, por ejemplo, mezclándose en la plaza de una ciudad renacentista italiana, sino apiñada en los atascos de tráfico, en las colas de los autobuses, en las escaleras mecánicas, etcétera. Es un nuevo tipo de unión que puede parecer totalmente extraño, pero es la unión de la tecnología moderna.

• I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology.

• Sólo la fotografía es capaz de hacer justicia a la rígida estructura lineal de la tecnología moderna, al elevado entramado de grúas y puentes, al dinamismo de las máquinas que funcionan a mil caballos de potencia. Lo que los partidarios del estilo pictórico consideran un defecto de la fotografía, la reproducción mecánica de la forma, es precisamente lo que la hace superior a todos los demás medios de expresión.

  Albert Renger-Patzsch

• Everybody dreams, but memory for dreams is famously elusive. Even Sigmund Freud, without the benefit of modern technology's electroencephalogram, or EEG, did not know that adult humans dream 90 minutes per night, and that newborns spend eight hours per day dreaming (out of their 16 hours of sleep). REM sleep helps grow the brain!

• Lighting was very primitive. And still it was really the way to learn because sometimes some of the modern technology is so extreme and so compartmentalized that we lose sight of exactly what we're doing.

• ¿Es el Islam una tribu o una fuerza de globalización? No cabe duda de que el islam se ha estudiado como un fenómeno local y tribal. Pero en teoría también es una idea universalista, su difusión se ha visto facilitada por las tecnologías modernas y es una identidad en la que la gente puede entrar y salir con bastante facilidad. No creo que el islam se haya entendido realmente como un producto de la globalización. Puede que sea uno de esos casos en los que globalismo y tribalismo acaban yendo de la mano.

• What modern technology has done has afforded us the luxury of abbreviation and being concise with time, I think. Things that it would take you a week to do can now be done in a day, which is absolutely awesome because you can concentrate on the bigger picture.
