A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology

演员永远不会被取代。认为计算机版本的角色会成为人们喜欢看的东西，这是一个可笑的想法。
It's now possible to play and take lessons from any place of the world. The concept of physical distance doesn't exist in the online world, and that is so cool!

想想技术浮动:轮子花了几个世纪才获得普遍接受。现在，任何微芯片设备都可以在几周内在世界各地投入使用。
However far modern science and techniques have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson; nothing is impossible.
无论现代科学和技术离其固有的可能性有多远，它们至少给人类上了一课;没有什么事是不可能的。
One of the effects of living with electric information is that we live habitually in a state of information overload. There's always more than you can cope with.
与电子信息生活的一个影响是，我们习惯性地生活在信息过载的状态中。总有你无法应付的事情。
Technology is us. There is no separation. It's a pure expression of human creative will. It doesn't exist anywhere else in the universe. I'm rather sure of that.

There is an abundance of misinformation, exaggeration, and blatant lies being spread by interest groups regarding the prospects for embryonic stem cell research.
关于胚胎干细胞研究的前景，利益集团散布了大量的错误信息、夸大和明目张胆的谎言。
We sometimes freeze the specimen with liquid nitrogen, which is extremely cold, you know. This is another technique we use now - but the specimens are not alive.
我们有时用液氮冷冻标本，你知道，液氮非常冷。这是我们现在使用的另一种技术——但这些标本并不是活的。
I will go around the space shuttle and give a guided tour of the major areas and describe what is done in each area. This will be called The Ultimate Field Trip.

我强迫自己去思考什么是新概念，我清楚地意识到这是一种风险，不仅在技术和生态方面，而且在生活和就业方面也是如此。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

Technology gives us power, but it does not and cannot tell us how to use that power. Thanks to technology, we can instantly communicate across the world, but it still doesn't help us know what to say.
技术给了我们力量，但它没有也不能告诉我们如何使用这种力量。多亏了科技，我们可以在世界各地即时交流，但它仍然不能帮助我们知道该说什么。
