Stephen Hawking on technology

Not only does God play dice, but he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.

The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.

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.
