Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other. Bill Gates |
We had to address information technology in the ways we had not before and give the agents the tools that they need to do their job more efficiently and more expeditiously. Robert Mueller |

The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential. Steve Ballmer |
If you thought the advent of the Internet, the spread of cheap and efficient information technology, and the growing fragmentation of the consumer market were all going to help smaller companies thrive at the expense of the slow-moving giants of the Fortune 500, apparently you were wrong. Robert Mueller |

It is impossible to work in information technology without also engaging in social engineering. Jaron Lanier |
As information technology restructures the work situation, it abstracts thought from action. Shoshana Zuboff |
|

It's hard to pay attention these days because of multiple affects of the information technology nowadays. You tend to develop a faster, speedier mind, but I don't think it's necessarily broader or smarter. Robert Redford |
In today's knowledge-based economy, what you earn depends on what you learn. Jobs in the information technology sector, for example, pay 85 percent more than the private sector average. William J. Clinton |

We have seven pillars of development. India has a cutting edge information technology industry. We are setting up a technology park. We would like to see technology penetration iin education. Besides, we would like to see cooperation in industries like fashion, filmmaking, ship-building, education, health and energy. Kamla Persad-Bissessar |
Computer games tend to be boys' games, warlike games with more violence. We have not spent enough time thinking through how to encourage more girls to be involved in computing before coming to college so they can see a possible career in information technology. Freeman A. Hrabowski III |

Developments in information technology and globalised media mean that the most powerful military in the history of the world can lose a war, not on the battlefield of dust and blood, but on the battlefield of world opinion. Timothy Garton Ash |
From computers to information technology to airplanes, it has been America's unique blend of republican government and free-market capitalism that has allowed us to surpass all other nations in history. George Nethercutt |

The reason is that till date, in spite of advances in information technology and strategies of information, the written word in the form of books still remains one of humanity's most enduring legacies. Ibrahim Babangida |
Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion. Ray Kurzweil |

Information technology has been one of the leading drivers of globalization, and it may also become one of its major victims. Evgeny Morozov |

The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications. Peter Drucker |

One of the biggest challenges to medicine is the incorporation of information technology in our practices. Samuel Wilson |
If computers get too powerful, we can organize them into committees. That'll do them in. The problem with troubleshooting is that trouble shoots back. Never let a computer know you're in a hurry. To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer. Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months. User, n. The word computer professionals use when they mean "idiot." Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy. Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living. After growing wildly for years, the field of computing appears to be reaching its infancy. Hardware: where the people in your company's software section will tell you the problem is. Software: where the people in your company's hardware section will tell you the problem is. Computers have lots of memory but no imagination. As network administrator I can take down the network with one keystroke. It's just like being a doctor but without getting gooky stuff on my paws. If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done. Database: the information you lose when your memory crashes. A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila. Back up my hard drive? How do I put it in reverse? Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done. Don't anthropomorphize computers - they hate it. Hardware: the parts of a computer that can be kicked. Spreadsheet: a kind of program that lets you sit at your desk and ask all kinds of neat "what if?" questions and generate thousands of numbers instead of actually working. If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. A picture is worth a thousand words but it takes 3,000 times the disk space. |
