A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
What's different here is that we have now technologies that allow these life science companies to bypass classical breeding. That's what makes it both powerful and exciting.
这里的不同之处在于，我们现在拥有的技术可以让这些生命科学公司绕过传统育种。这就是为什么它既强大又令人兴奋。
At this present time, matter is still the best way to think of architecture, but I'm not so sure for very long. The computer is radicalizing the way we think about our world.
在这个时候，物质仍然是思考建筑的最好方式，但我不确定能持续多久。计算机正在使我们思考世界的方式变得激进。
The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself.
在算术计算中节省时间和脑力的愿望，以及消除人类易犯错误的倾向，可能和算术科学本身一样古老。
As for sticking strictly to presently known science, I will simply point out that we have already experienced at least two major revolutions in science in this century alone.
关于严格坚持目前所知的科学，我只想指出，仅在本世纪，我们就已经经历了至少两场重大的科学革命。
The automobile changed our dress, manners, social customs, vacation habits, the shape of our cities, consumer purchasing patterns, common tastes and positions in intercourse.

My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education.
我的专业背景是计算机科学和商学院，所以最终我在产品开发、测试、市场营销和用户教育等部门获得了晋升。
Digital imaging allows both groups to rise above the limitations of mess and clutter and mechanics, and apply our talents to creating images limited only by our imaginations.
数字成像让两组人都超越了混乱、杂乱和机械的限制，并将我们的才能应用于只受我们想象力限制的图像创作。
In my mind I needed a symbol of today's technology, and I realized that what I wanted to photograph was the Space Shuttle. And so that's where Places of Power came into being.
在我的脑海中，我需要一个今天科技的象征，我意识到我想要拍摄的是航天飞机。这就是权力产生的地方。
The only thing I understand deeply, because in my teens I was thinking about it, and every year of my life, is software. So I'll never be hands-on on anything except software.
我唯一深刻理解的是，因为在我十几岁的时候，我一直在思考这个问题，我生命中的每一年，都在思考软件。所以除了软件，我什么都不会做。
I have advocated an entirely different approach than cap and tax, which would be worldwide in application and which emphasizes technology as a way of reducing total emissions.
我提倡的是一种完全不同于限额和税收的方法，它将在全球范围内得到应用，并强调技术是减少总排放量的一种方式。
The technology used to detect if vehicles are carrying radioactive material is so sensitive it can tell if a person recently received radiation as part of a medical procedure.
用于检测车辆是否携带放射性物质的技术非常敏感，可以判断一个人最近是否在医疗过程中受到了辐射。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Wouldn't it be great if the technology we used to take care of ourselves was as good as the technology we use to make money?

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.

The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation.
