Famous quotes containing the words information and/or technology:

    “I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.”
    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
