Alison Moyet
15

The Internet of Things tell us that a lot of computer-enabled appliances and devices are going to become part of this system, too: appliances that you use around the house, that you use in your office, that you carry around with yourself or in the car. That’s the Internet of Things that’s coming.

A. J. Liebling
114

Daniel Lyons
130
Computer power grows according to Moore’s law, as does the sophistication of handheld devices.

139

D. A. Pennebaker
143

Alan Huffman
150
The N.R.A.’s blessing of restrictions on bump stocks – devices that make semiautomatic weapons fire faster – is designed to pre-empt anything more serious by giving the illusion of action. It substitutes accessory control for actual gun control.
Charlie Sykes
151

The advent of Kindle, the iPad, and other portable reading devices has so far simply resulted in turning analog print into digital print while keeping the same linear prose format.
Daniel Lubetzky

We already know that spam is a huge downside of online life. If we’re going to be spammed on our telephones wherever we go, I think we’re going to reject these devices.
Howard Rheingold
158
When I was fighting communism, there was rapid development of satellite television and cell phones, and communism, to survive, would have to block all these information devices.
Lech Walesa
159
The world got enamored with smartphones and tablets, but what’s interesting is those devices don’t do everything that needs to be done. Three-D printing, virtual-reality computing, robotics are all controlled by PCs.
Michael Dell

When you’re in prison, and we’re left to our own devices, you’re stripped of everything, and you really get to see who these people are, the good and the bad.
Laura Prepon
161
In my own work, I don’t have favorite characters, but I have characters that I relate to the most. And I relate the most to Simon from ‘The Mortal Instruments,’ and also Tessa from ‘The Infernal Devices.’ They’re more sort of bookish and shy characters.
Cassandra Clare
162
Essentially, every technology you have ever heard of, where electrons move from here to there, has the potential to be revolutionized by the availability of molecular wires made up of carbon. Organic chemists will start building devices. Molecular electronics could become reality.
Richard Smalley
163
In the digital world, he who hesitates is abandoned. So you have to generate 3-D excitement with as many devices as you can find.
Howard Stringer

Immersion was founded in 1993 with the mission of bringing the sense of touch to computing. Our technology, TouchSense, is embedded in computer peripheral devices and allows users to reach in and physically interact with content on their computer screens.
Louis B. Rosenberg

I’m carrying an iPhone 5. I like this device. It’s been impressive. I have a Windows and an Android device… I carry an iPad. I carry a Kindle… Yeah, I have a lot of devices.
Randall L. Stephenson

Some grocery stores began using electronic scanners as early as 1976, and the devices have been in general use in American supermarkets for a decade.
Andrew Rosenthal
167
Let the free market for wireless services and devices flourish. If the government gets out of the way, the wireless marketplace will continue to be an American success story.
Ajit Pai

Internet service providers should not be permitted to block, throttle and unfairly favor certain content, applications, services or devices.
Ro Khanna

Today, medical devices such as catheters and stethoscopes use silver, and every hospital in the western world uses silver sulfadiazine to prevent infections.
Robert Kiyosaki
170
We incorporate various electronic devices – the echo plugs and things like that. Actually, all we’re trying to do is make that sound musical. As opposed to just making sounds, we do musical things with them.
Chico Hamilton
171
There is absolutely zero doubt that you can technically do an excellent full-featured FPS game, because these devices are more powerful now than, like, a previous generation Xbox.
John Carmack
172
I detest flying anywhere. Left to my own devices, I’d never leave my keyboard.
Kage Baker

We need to work together to fairly assess and improve the long-term economic and health value – and affordability – of all components of the healthcare system, including hospitalizations, drugs, devices, and other interventions, to optimize our health investment decisions.
Kenneth Frazier
174
Ideally, in the future, you’ll just pay your cable company for the stream, which you’ll be able to watch and manipulate through whatever means on whatever devices you like.
Alex Pareene
175
I think of myself as naturally idle. The trouble is, the ‘nothing’ that I do every day is not really nothing. I potter. I muck about with emails, I make coffee, I fiddle with my computer to make sure that the book I haven’t started writing is perfectly synced across all platforms and devices.
Robert Webb
176
I am not a politician. I am an engineer who has spent most of his career working in factories that manufacture the world’s most advanced devices.
Brian Krzanich
177
Communism in Cuba will collapse sooner or later because you can’t control the free flow of information. Communism prevents organizations from developing by stopping the flow of information. The system is based on police and listening devices and triggers the worst characteristics in humans.
Lech Walesa
178
The futures of Crackle and Hulu and so forth become more and more important as we connect to more and more devices. We need our content to make our services as attractive as Apple’s or Amazon’s or Microsoft’s. We’re in a brave new world of fierce competition.
Howard Stringer
179
We must not show to all and sundry the secrets of the waters flowing in ocean and river, or the devices that work on these waters. Let there be convened a council of experts and masters in mechanical art to deliberate what is needed to compose and construct these works.
Filippo Brunelleschi

Courses can, and should, incorporate the excitement and fun of programming games, apps or even real digital devices.
Geoff Mulgan
181
A song has to take on character, shape, body and influence people to an extent that they use it for their own devices. It must affect them not just as a song, but as a lifestyle.
David Bowie
182
Devices that allow people to shoot up to 100 rounds of ammunition at one time have no place in our schools, no place in our parks, no place on our streets, no place in our communities, and no place in this country.
Elizabeth Esty
183
I’m interested in ways that digital interfaces can be utilized as powerful narrative devices, and to engage people in new and exciting ways.
Aaron Koblin
184
As more and more of our lives become digital, we are fighting a losing battle trying to curb our usage of devices in order to reclaim our emotions. So what I’m trying to do instead is to bring emotions into our technology and make our technologies more responsive.
Rana el Kaliouby
185
Phones and tablet PCs are primarily consumption devices and not typically used for creation of content. It’s here that we need PCs.
Jean-Philippe Courtois
186
If I’m left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.
John Lydon
187
As our various electronic devices gain more and more sensory awareness, we open up the potential for entirely new forms of interaction. Not just new interfaces – tapping and shaking and whatnot – but a shift in presence.
Jamais Cascio
188
The pursuit of curiosity about the basic facts of nature has proven, with few exceptions throughout the history of medical science, to be the route by which the successful drugs and devices of modern medicine were discovered.
Arthur Kornberg
189
Crucially, healthcare needs to become connected. It should become effortless for medical professionals to share relevant data with colleagues around the world. Medical devices and systems in hospitals should be able to combine multiple sources of information.
Frans van Houten
190
There are always going to be people who are experts in security or end-user devices or collaboration or databases. That’s not going to go away. But what’s the reason all of these professions come together? To help the business transform itself.
Satya Nadella
191
We are a wealthy country. We also are the global engine of innovation in health care, whether it’s the pharmaceutical industry or the creation of medical devices.
Ron Williams
192
I never really saw my dad around when the Iron Maiden and the AC/DC were playing. But he knew what I was doing. I was just absorbing music. So he just kind of left me to my own devices.
Dhani Harrison
193
Religious speech is extreme, emotional, and motivational. It is anti-literal, relying on metaphor, allusion, and other rhetorical devices, and it assumes knowledge within a community of believers.
Amy Waldman
194
Tarantino’s movies are smartly intoxicating cocktails of rampage and meditation; they’re in-your-face, with a mac-10 machine pistol and a quote from the Old Testament. They blend U.S. and European styles of filmmaking; they bring novelistic devices to the movie mall.
Richard Corliss
195
We want the technology in our devices to enable a social experience.
Reggie Fils-Aime
196
My father had a big brick cell phone, before anyone had a cell phone, because he was really just into that kind of thing – communication devices. I grew up between my father’s laboratory and my mother’s library.
Rashid Johnson
197
I set out to create chips that used low-energy technology, and that has allowed me to develop devices that can do all their data crunching on site.
Chris Toumazou
198
I don’t usually like teen novels written in the present tense, particularly those told from a first-person viewpoint. Too many writers seem to believe that using either or both devices automatically imbues their stories with deep seriousness and a contemporary feel.
Tony Bradman
199
The technology, called near-field communication, involves a microchip that can send and receive data across very short distances, about four inches. Instead of swiping a credit card, you hold your phone near a reader and let the data zip between the two devices.
Daniel Lyons

The rise of digital technology put marketers in a bind. No longer a captive audience, consumers were splitting their time across devices, social networks and websites.
Shawn Amos
201
What I try to do is that when I’m at home, I’m at home. We’re working hard at putting away our devices and not taking calls. Sometimes, you have to, but I’ll say, ‘Look guys, I’ve got to take this call, but when I’m done, I’m all yours. I just need 20 minutes.’
Al Roker
202
I have no ancestral link to the mountains. But I really do feel close to mountain culture. Their ways of food, of thinking. The way they hang out with no recording devices and just sing songs with each other.
Lizz Wright
203
The smuggling and distribution of misbranded drugs and medical devices of uncertain foreign origin has the potential for serious harm to patients.
Dana Boente
204
It is users that are driving the networks with innovations on top of the networks and with innovations in the devices space. This is very healthy.
Hans Vestberg
205
TiVo and other digital recording devices have confounded advertisers. The ad industry sees the technology as a threat to their product.
Simon Sinek
206
Our intelligence experts are rightly concerned about the use of the TikTok app, especially on U.S. government-issued devices.
Abigail Spanberger
207
The rules or ‘laws’ of poetry are only tentative devices, an approximate scheme. There is no Sinaitic recipe for poetry, for the individual poem is the norm.
Louis MacNeice
208
Today there are paparazzi out, I’m doing a day of press, I’m in a hotel, I’ve just been on Radio 1. But when I’m in my day-to-day life people don’t know who I am and I’m left to my own devices.
Ed Westwick

In digital healthcare, we have introduced connected devices, including thermometers and blood pressure monitors that are connected through a common app. For instance, our weighing scales can measure your arterial stiffness and warn you.
Rajeev Suri

When gamers can play a game together with all of their friends, regardless of the devices they own, you have a much more compelling social experience. That applies to all multiplayer games.
Tim Sweeney
211
Mobile phones are one of the most insecure devices that were ever available, so they’re very easy to trace; they’re very easy to tap.
Evgeny Morozov
212
Most devices have been hacked in some way and are part of – part of a botnet network that can come after you in DDoS attacks.
