Old tech quotes but still applicable

Some interesting quotes on technology that I found on Quoteland.com. Most of these quotes are quite dated, but still hold true today. I especially like the last one which is by Frank Lloyd Wright, about the overuse of the "push button finger". We're at a much stage now than when he fist said that. Interesting!!

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
-Arthur C. Clarke

“If we are on a path of getting nowhere fast, technology is allowing us to get nowhere faster and faster.”
-John Renesch

"Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards."
-Aldous Huxley

"If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger."
-Frank Lloyd Wright
