Here, we’ve compiled a list of the best Mary Lou Jepsen Quotes. Let’s look at these pieces of wisdom. We definitely have something to learn from them!
1
Our brains are way, way more complex than any computer we know how to make. They’re way more creative. The input’s pretty good, but the output is constrained by our tongues and jaws moving and us typing.
2
I have decided to leave Facebook and Oculus to work on curing diseases using some new imaging technologies I’ve been incubating for awhile.
3
If we could communicate at the speed of thought, we can augment our creativity with the low-level stuff that AI and robots and 3-D printers and fab labs and all that do.
4
My system uses the speed of components in cameras and cell phones to get four inches of depth through the brain.
5
My central thesis is that combining increased temporal and spatial resolution in MRI techniques with increasingly powerful data correlation techniques will allow the derivation of interpreted meanings from neural signals. I observed, further, that the techniques that exist already allow some correlations.
6
I can tell you what images are in your head. I can tell what music you’re thinking of. I can tell if you’re listening to me or not. That’s possible with an MRI now.
7
A lot of people get really seduced by demos of the next display technology. I myself fell under that spell for about 20 years.
8
I’ve found that people who design computers don’t know a lot about displays.
9
I feel in love with holography, which is that you don’t have to wear anything or carry anything. It is augmented reality, if you will.
10
When I joined Google, it was a 1,500-person company, which I thought was huge, since I don’t think of myself as a corporate person.
11
If I throw you into an MRI machine right now, I can tell you what words you’re about to say.
12
I was going blind, and I was in a wheelchair. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life living with my parents.
13
The world’s information is digital. The web, the news, all of that is digital. And now… we have ten million books scanned. That was the last bastion of what was offline; it’s now online and accessible.
14
I figured out how to put basically the functionality of an M.R.I. machine – a multimillion-dollar M.R.I. machine – into a wearable in the form of a ski hat.
15
One of the technology lessons was to work inside the cost envelope of the developing world to lower costs overall. What’s even more important and useful is dramatically lowering power consumption. Everyone wants batteries that can last 10 times longer.
16
I designed a system to project video on the moon for all of humanity to see. I did this sort of as therapy as I was doing my Ph.D. in device physics.
17
I worked as an artist, played in a band, met Andy Warhol, Christo, Lou Reed, and David Byrne. I had fun.
18
I think that’s the point of what we all should all be doing: trying to make the impossible possible.
19
All devices should just sip power and be charged like a calculator is, with a small solar cell. No power adaptors. It’s easy to put a solar cell into a device, but it’s not powerful enough to drive today’s cell phones or laptops. They need too much power to run.
20
I left Google X. All the senior women have left Google X. I was the last to make it – I was, to be fair, the last there. Megan Smith left, Claire Hughes Johnson, vice presidents at Google left.
21
The future of reading is screens. Books are toast.
22
If you can make a lot more of something, you can make it much more inexpensive.
23
It’s exciting to be able to be part of the block and tackle of building a company from a smaller base.
24
I never stopped dreaming of how to create a wearable to communicate with our thoughts, how to do this at consumer electronics pricing.
25
Every time I meet with the CEO of a big laptop company, they tell me they ‘studied’ my design.
26
Could you imagine if we could leapfrog language and communicate directly with human thought? What would we be capable of then? And how will we learn to deal with the truths of unfiltered human thought? You think the Internet was big. These are huge questions.
27
These days, the manufacturing is controlled by a small number of countries, primarily Taiwan and South Korea.
28
More of us may be affected by variant hormone levels than we realize.
29
You can get really great reflective screens that rival e-paper at really amazing price points and with fantastic ultra-low-power capabilities.
30
I took on the math-intensive art form of holography and, in my early 20s, traveled the world, living on university fellowships to pursue this esoteric craft. I didn’t date much, really – perhaps because I didn’t have many hormones, though I didn’t know that at the time.
31
After my neurosurgery, part of my brain was missing, and I had to deal with that. It wasn’t the grey matter, but it was the gooey part dead center that makes key hormones and neurotransmitters.
32
You see very senior women leaving technology and the men stay, mostly because they feel quite isolated and are isolated by the very systems.
33
The future of screens isn’t about the iPad. It’s much, much bigger.
34
Redirecting sunlight on the earth to the moon gives you enough light so that all of humanity can see.
35
I didn’t want to be an electrical engineer. But I did want to go to college. And they said they’d help me pay for it if I’d major in electrical engineering.
