"I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I’ve invented." ― R. Buckminster Fuller Topic(s): Technology More From R. Buckminster Fuller "Great nations are simply the operating fronts of behind-the-scenes, vastly ambitious individuals who had become so effectively powerful because of their ability to remain invisible while operating behind the national scenery." "The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun." "I look for what needs to be done. After all, that’s how the universe designs itself." More In Technology "I have an almost religious zeal… not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up."― Dan Millman "If we attempt to block the development of new technology, we effectively have ensured that the most responsible parties will not develop them."― Ralph Merkle "I spend so much time on the screen when I am writing, the last thing you want to do is spend more time on the Internet looking at a screen. That’s what I hate about all this technology."― Irvine Welsh
