When I was a student at MIT, we all shared one computer and it took up a whole building. The computer in your cell phone today is a million times cheaper and a thousand times more powerful. What now fits in your pocket 25 years from now will fit into a blood cell and will again be millions of times more cost effective.

By the time we get to the 2040s, we'll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that's singular in nature. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brains and make us healthier, make us smarter.

Mobile phones are misnamed. They should be called gateways to human knowledge.

The past is over the present is fleeting we live in the future.

A lot of movies about artificial intelligence envision that AIs will be very intelligent but missing some key emotional qualities of humans and therefore turn out to be very dangerous.

Inventing is a lot like surfing: you have to anticipate and catch the wave at just the right moment.

Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.

By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.

We'll be able to have very intelligent, little robots with computers going inside our bloodstream, keeping us healthy from inside, destroying cancer at the level of one cell.

Biological evolution is too slow for the human species. Over the next few decades, it's going to be left in the dust.

If we could convert 0.03 percent of the sunlight that falls on the earth into energy, we could meet all of our projected needs for 2030.

Doing real world projects is, I think, the best way to learn and also to engage the world and find out what the world is all about.
