It saddened him that military technology was so much more advanced than he’d ever imagined.

Chapter 8 “Security Concerns” (p. 122)Ken MacLeod
You see how increasingly the only way we in the advanced industrial nations, with our bewildering technology network, can survive, is by selling bewilderment and dependence on technology to the rest of the world. Or is it not bewilderment and dependence, but a healthier wealthier better way of living than the old way? And, yet, whether or not you dress up technology to look local, the technology network is the same. And as it spreads, will it spread the ability to use machines, as we do, without understanding them?
James (science historian) Burke
Technology has not advanced because people are starved for instruments to make a better civilization, but because they are starved for entertainment – technology is still mostly a toy factory for grown-ups.
Eugene J. Martin
Any technology that does not appear magical is insufficiently advanced.
Arthur C. Clarke
Any technology that does not appear magical is insufficiently advanced.
Gregory Benford
Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.
