“Would you prefer to have $100,000 today or be a millionaire in 1920? Many would love to be a millionaire in the previous century, but your money then could not buy lifesaving penicillin, a phone call to family on the other side of the county, or many of the benefits of innovations we take granted today.”

“When history was made at Kitty Hawk [by the Wright brothers - inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful motor-operated airplane], it was man with machine - not man against machine. Today we don't think of aviation as "artificial flight" - it's simply flight. In the same way, we shouldn't think of technological intelligence as artificial, but rather as intelligence that serves to augment human capabilities and capacities.”
