I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft and smooth.

I love the way you make me so happy,
And the ways you show you care.
I love the way you say, "I Love You,"
And the way you're always there.

I love the way you touch me,
Always sending chills down my spine.
I love that you are with me,
And glad that you are mine.











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

Owes ecology
An apology.

If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger.  ~Frank Lloyd Wright


Soon silence will have passed into legend.  Man has turned his back on silence.  Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation...tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego.  His anxiety subsides.  His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation.  ~Jean Arp


Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.  ~Aldous Huxley


Technology... the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.  ~Max Frisch


Do you realize if it weren't for Edison we'd be watching TV by candlelight?  ~Al Boliska


Western society has accepted as unquestionable a technological imperative that is quite as arbitrary as the most primitive taboo:  not merely the duty to foster invention and constantly to create technological novelties, but equally the duty to surrender to these novelties unconditionally, just because they are offered, without respect to their human consequences.  ~Lewis Mumford


God never made his work for man to mend.
~John Dryden


It is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.  ~T.S. Eliot, about radio


Technology... is a queer thing.  It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.  ~C.P. Snow, New York Times, 15 March 1971


Don't get smart alecksy
With the galaxy
Leave the atom alone.

The drive toward complex technical achievement offers a clue to why the U.S. is good at space gadgetry and bad at slum problems.  ~John Kenneth Galbraith


The system of nature, of which man is a part, tends to be self-balancing, self-adjusting, self-cleansing.  Not so with technology.  ~E.F. Schumacher, Small is Beautiful, 1973


I am sorry to say that there is too much point to the wisecrack that life is extinct on other planets because their scientists were more advanced than ours.  ~John F. Kennedy


The most important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes, but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday.  ~Dennis Gabor,Innovations:  Scientific, Technological and Social, 1970


This is perhaps the most beautiful time in human history; it is really pregnant with all kinds of creative possibilities made possible by science and technology which now constitute the slave of man - if man is not enslaved by it.  ~Jonas Salk


Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.  ~J.K. Rowling

We are becoming the servants in thought, as in action, of the machine we have created to serve us.  ~John Kenneth Galbraith


I'm struck by the insidious, computer-driven tendency to take things out of the domain of muscular activity and put them into the domain of mental activity.  The transfer is not paying off.  Sure, muscles are unreliable, but they represent several million years of accumulated finesse.  ~Brian Eno, Wired, January 1999


Use of advanced messaging technology does not imply an endorsement of western industrial civilization.  ~Anonymous email sig line


Once upon a time we were just plain people.  But that was before we began having relationships with mechanical systems.  Get involved with a machine and sooner or later you are reduced to a factor.  ~Ellen Goodman, "The Human Factor," The Washington Post, January 1987


I think I should not go far wrong if I asserted that the amount of genuine leisure available in a society is generally in inverse proportion to the amount of labor-saving machinery it employs.  ~E.F. Schumacher


Technology presumes there's just one right way to do things and there never is.  ~Robert M. Pirsig


It is difficult not to wonder whether that combination of elements which produces a machine for labor does not create also a soul of sorts, a dull resentful metallic will, which can rebel at times.  ~Pearl S. Buck


The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.  ~B.F. Skinner, Contingencies of Reinforcement, 1969


The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.  ~Saint-ExupĂ©ry, Wind, Sand, and Stars, 1939


What the country needs are a few labor-making inventions.  ~Arnold Glasow


Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons.  ~R. Buckminster Fuller


The greatest task before civilization at present is to make machines what they ought to be, the slaves, instead of the masters of men.  ~Havelock Ellis

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.  ~Arthur C. Clarke


You cannot endow even the best machine with initiative; the jolliest steam-roller will not plant flowers.  ~Walter Lippmann


We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.  ~Carl Sagan


Where there is the necessary technical skill to move mountains, there is no need for the faith that moves mountains.  ~Eric Hoffer


We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.  We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology.  This is a prescription for disaster.  We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.  ~Carl Sagan


Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.  ~Alfred North Whitehead

Wide ramification

WikiLeaks seems to have tarnished everyone it touched. But there were plenty of politicians and celebrities who did not need help from the internet whistle-blower to get themselves into trouble in 2010. WikiLeaks' release of cables from US embassies to Washington - often bluntly written accounts of confidential discussions - have in most cases only confirmed what was already widely suspected in international relations. But they have nevertheless embarrassed US friends and foes alike and risk undermining US diplomacy. Text: IANS, Photo: AP
