The advancement of technology generally evokes a range of emotions in people from all walks of life.  Some view technology as a great evil that slowly diminishes our humanity, while others view it as a way to bring the world closer together and to help solve some of our greatest challenges.  Regardless of your view, almost everyone has a favorite quote or two about the impact that technology has on our lives.  These are my 20 favorites.

1)  Technology is anything that wasn’t around when you were born. – Alan Kay (Computer Scientist)
2)  Any sufficiently advanced technology is equivalent to magic. – Arthur C. Clarke (Author)
3)  All of the biggest technological inventions created by man – the airplane, the automobile, the computer – says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness. – Mark Kennedy (Author)
4)  Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless. – Thomas Edison (Inventor)
5)  It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. – Albert Einstein (Scientist)
