Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.

The first thing I did when I returned to China was start an Internet company. We didn’t have much technology back then.

Science is a magnificent force, but it is not a teacher of morals. It can perfect machinery, but it adds no moral restraints to protect society from the misuse of the machine. It can also build gigantic intellectual ships, but it constructs no moral rudders for the control of storm tossed human vessel. It not only fails to supply the spiritual element needed but some of its unproven hypotheses rob the ship of its compass and thus endangers its cargo.

Technology is what enables you to make a film bigger, more immersive, and more dynamic.

Technology has certainly reduced performance differences among drivers. Whereas a talented driver could get a half-second out of every lap in the past, nowadays talent makes up for only about one or two tenths of a second. But the driver is still the key factor.

My technicians are my most important tools. Once I establish a rapport with them, then they would understand me in my next film. I wouldn’t have to train anyone new. I give a lot of respect to all my technicians, because I’m a technician too. I wouldn’t be able to convey a feeling if the writer didn’t write it well, and the cameraman didn’t shoot it well.

The science of operations, as derived from mathematics more especially, is a science of itself.

A new science cannot be imposed as a ready-made garment.

Technology is going to transform people’s lives and society everywhere in the world. I spend most of my time studying new technologies. My main task is to understand what’s going on and try to see where we can fit in.

The greatest innovation of the 21st century will be the intersection of biology and technology.

All of us technology companies need to create some tools that help diminish the volume of fake news. We must try to squeeze this without stepping on freedom of speech and of the press, but we must also help the reader.

I’m not interested in technology for technology’s sake. I’m interested in technology that improves people’s lives.

I think as technologists we should have some safe places where we can try out new things and figure out the effect on society.

We want to build technology that everybody loves using, and that affects everyone. We want to create beautiful, intuitive services and technologies that are so incredibly useful that people use them twice a day. Like they use a toothbrush. There aren’t that many things people use twice a day.

Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.

Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.

The growth story of India depends on success in the science and technology sector.

Science and technology is the backbone for Good Governance.
