“For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I hope that the human talent for self-destruction can be successfully controlled, or at least channelled into productive forms, but I doubt it. I think we are moving into extremely volatile and dangerous times, as modern electronic technologies give mankind almost unlimited powers to play with its own psychopathology as a game.” ThinkingGivingHumansChildrenSelfPlayMovingFormGamesTechnologyDoubtModernMankindTalentDangerousDestructionSakeMy ChildrenProductiveControlledUnlimitedGrandchildrenSelf DestructionChildren And GrandchildrenPsychopathologyUnlimited Power Author:J.

“There is no doubt that human survival will continue to depend more and more on human intellect and technology. It is idle to argue whether this is good or bad.

“Some recent occurrences such as the BSE disaster and even perhaps - dare I mention it - the present severe weather conditions in our country are, I have no doubt, the consequences of mankind's arrogant disregard of the delicate balance of nature. We have to find a way of ensuring that our remarkable and seemingly beneficial advances in technology do not just become the agents of our own destruction.” WayCountryTechnologyDoubtConditionsMankindBalanceConsequenceDestructionEnvironmentalDareDisasterWeatherOur CountryAgentsNo DoubtRemarkableDelicateArrogantSevereBeneficialStewardshipDisregard Author:Prince Charles
“You know, the technology was at the right place for us to build this world. The most difficult thing about doing The Croods was no doubt the building of the world. Every single thing in this film is organic. Organic things are tough. Very very labour intensive. And we have no man-made structures. You could argue that everything in this film is really an exterior. Even the interiors of the cave are exteriors. So building this world was the biggest thing of all, and the technology was there to do it.” KnowsMenWorldMadeFilmDifficultTechnologyDoubtThis WorldBuildingToughStructureArguingNo DoubtLabourInteriorsCavesRight PlaceDifficult ThingsExterior Author:Chris Sanders
“The recent period has been marked by a transformation to an economy that is more productive as competitive forces become increasingly intense and new technologies raise the efficiency of our businesses...While these tendencies were no doubt in train in the "old," pre-1990s economy, they accelerated over the past decade as a number of technologies with their roots in the cumulative innovations of the past half-century began to yield dramatic economic returns.” Has BeensPastForceNumbersHalfTechnologyEconomyDoubtEconomicCenturyReturnPeriodsRootsTransformationInnovationRaisesTrainDecadesIntenseTendenciesDramaticNo DoubtProductiveYieldEfficiencyOver The PastNew TechnologyCumulative Author:Alan Greenspan
“There's no doubt who was a leader in space after the Apollo Program. Nobody came close to us. And our education system, in science, technology, engineering and math, was at the top of the world.

“Today I believe that man cannot escape his destiny to create whatever it is we make - jazz, a wooden spoon, or graffiti on the wall. All of these are expressions of man's creativity, proof that man has not yet been destroyed by technology. But are we making things for the people of our epoch or repeating what has been done before? And finally, is the question itself important? We must ask ourselves that. The most important thing is always to doubt the importance of the question.” PeopleMenBelieveHas BeensImportantDoneTodayAsksI BelieveCreativityDestinyTechnologyDoubtExpressionWallImportanceImportant ThingsJazzProofDestroyedSpoonsEpochGraffitiWooden Spoons Author:Orson Welles
