More quotes by Kevin Kelly
A single thread of self generation ties the cosmos, the bios, and the technos together into one creation. Humans are not the culmination of this trajectory but an intermediary, smack in the middle between the born and the made... The arc of complexity and open-ended creation in the last four billion years is nothing compared to what lies ahead.

Each system is trying to anticipate change in the environment.
Kevin Kelly
What technology is really about is better ways to evolve. That is what we call an 'infinite game.' ... A finite game is played to win, and an infinite game is played to keep playing.
Kevin Kelly
Well, here's what you can do, and that's about it.
Kevin Kelly
The most interesting thing about change in the environment is that for the most part the environment isn't changing.
Kevin Kelly
When a system is in turbulence, the turbulence is not just out there in the environment, but is a part of the organization or organism that you are looking at.
Kevin Kelly
We're just at the beginning of the beginning of all these kind of changes. There's a sense that all the big things have happened, but relatively speaking, nothing big has happened yet. In 20 years from now we'll look back and say, 'Well, nothing really happened in the last 20 years.'
Kevin Kelly
The way that organizations and organisms anticipate the future is by taking signals from the past, most the time.
Kevin Kelly
Technology is anything that was invented after you were born.
