As information technology restructures the work situation it abstracts thought from action.

I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.

Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.

My goals over the decade include to develop new drugs to treat intractable diseases by using iPS cell technology and to conduct clinical trials using it on a few patients with Parkinson's diseases diabetes or blood diseases.

The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.

If we allow our self-congratulatory adoration of technology to distract us from our own contact with each other then somehow the original agenda has been lost.

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.

I first decided to become an actor at school. A teacher gave us a play to do and that had a major impact. At first I wanted to work in the theatre but there was something about the ambience of film especially American films that always attracted me.

Teachers make a difference and we would serve our students better by focusing on attracting and retaining the quality teachers by raising teacher pay.

It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change and whom no one can help become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.
