Thomas Edison on technology

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

There is no substitute for hard work.

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.

The function of RAM is to give us guys a way of deciding whose computer has the biggest, studliest, most tumescent MEMORY. This is important, because with today’s complex software, the more memory a computer has, the faster it can produce error messages. So the bottom line is, if you’re a guy, you cannot have enough RAM.

Buying the right computer and getting it to work properly is no more complicated than building a nuclear reactor from wristwatch parts in a darkened room using only your teeth.
