~ C.P. Snow
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.
Imagine that the telegraph is an immense long dog — so long that its head is at Vienna and its tail is at Paris. Well, tread on its tail, which is at Paris, and it will bark at Vienna.
You cannot endow even the best machine with initiative; the jolliest steam-roller will not plant flowers.

With the galaxy
Leave the atom alone.

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.

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

The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.
