A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
I think that technology has both introduced new sounds but also allowed an increasingly painterly approach to recording music as you can now paint over what you've done and more and more refine an existing performance.
我认为，科技不仅带来了新的声音，也让人们越来越多地以绘画的方式来录制音乐，因为你现在可以在你已经做过的事情上作画，而且越来越完善现有的表演。
Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.
不久，寂静将成为传奇。人类已经抛弃了沉默。日复一日，他发明了各种机器和装置，这些机器和装置会增加噪音，让人类从生活、沉思和冥想的本质中分心。
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.
今天的技术最重要和紧迫的问题不再是满足基本需要或原型愿望，而是用昨天的技术对罪恶和破坏进行补偿。
It took us three years to build the NeXT computer. If we'd given customers what they said they wanted, we'd have built a computer they'd have been happy with a year after we spoke to them - not something they'd want now.

A battery by definition is a collection of cells. So the cell is a little can of chemicals. And the challenge is taking a very high-energy cell, and a large number of them, and combining them safely into a large battery.
电池的定义是电池的集合。细胞是一罐化学物质。现在的挑战是把一个高能量的电池，以及大量的电池，安全地组合成一个大电池。
I was trying to make something really hard, but then I thought I should make something really soft instead, that could be molded into different shapes. That was how I came up with the first plastic. I called it Bakelite.

I also administer the Internet Assigned Names Authority, which is the central coordinator for the Internet address space, domain names and Internet protocol conventions essential to the use and operation of the Internet.

My school in St. Louis is great. They basically created a program where I can do online classes and independent studies when I'm traveling. But then I still get to go home and take classes in a normal school environment.

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.

People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives, have more knowledge, more information. All this is the result of communications technology. How is any of that bad?

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.
