Wired Quotes - BrainyQuote

Love, People, Fall, Loved, Hurt, Deep

Science, Brain, Thinking, Think, Facts

Light, Home, World, Thinking, Ready, Got

My first project out of grad school was 'Wired' magazine. John Battelle

People thought I was very pro-computer. I was on the cover of 'Wired' magazine. Then things began to change. In the early '80s, we met this technology and became smitten like young lovers. But today our attachment is unhealthy. Sherry Turkle

Brain, Research, Process, Way, Get, Lack

The next innovation, Sensavision, will be like a Walkman attached to your forehead. You won't actually have your head wired because infrared wires will send signals to you. In 2007 Mick Jagger will be on stage, and when Mick feels heat, you'll feel heat. Tony Verna

Innovation, You, Feel, Heat, Head, Stage

Stress, Action, Performance, Long, Feel

Life, Value, Me, Humanity, Face, Race

I think, as most of us do, I put such high expectations on myself that this spills over onto other people. And not everyone is wired this way.

Myself, People, Cool, Think, Hot, Way

If you see voters as rational, you'll be a terrible politician. People are not wired to be rational. Our brains simply evolved to keep us alive. Brains did not evolve to give us truth.

Truth, People, You, Movies, True, Minds
