Daniel H. Wilson Quotes

We are beginning to see intimations of this in the implantation of computer devices into the human body.

I absolutely believe that a lot of the issues raised in 'Amped' about technology migrating into our bodies are issues that we're really going to deal with soon.

It only makes sense that as our society becomes more and more integrated with technology, we'll start to see more cyborgs, grinders, biohackers - whatever you want to call us - thriving at the intersection of tech and body modification.

Our species is on the verge of changes that will fundamentally alter what it means to be human... and we are the people driving that change.

When you talk to a human in 2035, you'll be talking to someone that's a combination of biological and non-biological intelligence.

I see technology as being an extension of the human body.

I had a great time creating the future on 'Minority Report,' and it's a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would.

At this present time, matter is still the best way to think of architecture, but I'm not so sure for very long. The computer is radicalizing the way we think about our world.

I make short films, little documentaries, about the co-evolution of humans and technology.

Our grandkids will lead the lives of the gods of mythology. Zeus could think and move objects around. We'll have that power. Venus had a perfect, timeless body. We'll have that, too. Pegasus was a flying horse. We'll be able to modify life in the future.

Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings.

In my books the technology that I choose to talk about has to serve the themes. What that means is that I end up having to cut out a lot of cool technology that would be really fun to describe and play with, but which would just confuse everybody. So in 'Amped,' I focus on neural implants.

Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence.

Ultimately, it's not going to be about man versus machine. It is going to be about man with machines.

There will come a time when the human race and super intelligence will coexist to create a richer and happier life.

In some ways, technology keeps on enhancing us, and we embrace it.

Someday in the distant cyborg future, when our internal and external memories fully merge, we may come to possess infinite knowledge. But that's not the same thing as wisdom.

Growing new limbs, copying internal organs like a Xerox machine, exponential increases in computing power, better eyes and ears - I could read stories like this endlessly.

Whatever people thought the first time they held a portable phone the size of a shoe in their hands, it was nothing like where we are now, accustomed to having all knowledge at our fingertips.

From the growth of the Internet through to the mapping of the human genome and our understanding of the human brain, the more we understand, the more there seems to be for us to explore.

Skin has become inadequate in interfacing with reality. Technology has become the body's new membrane of existence.

The next evolutionary step is into the screen.

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence.

We build our technologies as a way of addressing all our anxieties and desires. They are our passions congealed into these prosthetic extensions of ourselves. And they do it in a way that reflects what we dream ourselves capable of doing.

In this electronic age we see ourselves being translated more and more into the form of information, moving toward the technological extension of consciousness.
