Charles Lindbergh on technology

In wilderness, I sense the miracle of life, and behind it, our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.

Life — a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.

If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.

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.
