Timeline of Telescopes, Observatories, and Observing Technology

Famous quotes containing the words observing and/or technology:

“If we had no faults of our own, we should not take half so much satisfaction in observing those of other people.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
