We are in a race between knowledge and catastrophe. If we keep track of what is important, never lower our standards or forget why we are here, we have the ability to determine the fate of the world.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

We live in a world where virt...

We live in a world where virtually everybody expects there's going to be some reasonable therapy for virtually any situation.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

As we move towards 8 or 10 bi...

As we move towards 8 or 10 billion people on the planet, there's a little less gold per capita. Each one of us will continue to be fighting over an ever smaller percentage of total resources. This is not a happy thought

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

I consider high-speed data transmission an invention that became a major innovation. It changed the way we all communicate

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

I think in our lifetime, that...

I think in our lifetime, that level of acceptance of "well, we couldn't do any better," won't be tolerated. We're going to start to see individual therapies customized for individual patients, and it's going to change the way people get healthcare.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

I think our society is no lon...

I think our society is no longer properly valuing the intangible potential of innovation, even if we have to be a little uncomfortable with the risks associated with it, and a little bit willing to fail, pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off and try again. We don’t seem to want to do that as much as we used too.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

New ideas in technology are l...

New ideas in technology are literally a dime-a-dozen, or cheaper than that

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

The word entrepreneur is asso...

The word entrepreneur is associated with success and adventure. From my life, the only thing I can tell you that's consistently associated with entrepreneurship is failure, and the only thing consistently associated with invention is frustration. There is a long road between the idea and the reality.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

Kids are intimidated by the w...

Kids are intimidated by the way science and technology is presented. It's made, frankly, quite boring and it becomes part of a curriculum that chases particularly women and minorities away.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

Invention and entrepreneurshi...

Invention and entrepreneurship isn't about pure technology. Most people take whatever they see in front of them and relate it to something they understand. For at least ten years after Ford started building cars, people called them horseless carriages. It wasn't obvious to call it a car. They used to call the radio 'the wireless.' Innovation is much more about changing people and their perceptions and their attitudes and their willingness to accept change than it is about physics and engineering.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

Education, actual learning - ...

Education, actual learning - it is hard work. It's very personal. Your parents don't teach you anything. Your teachers don't teach you anything. The government doesn't teach you anything. You read it. You don't understand it; you read it again. You break a pencil and read it again.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

Innovation is so hard and so ...

Innovation is so hard and so frustrating; it takes the intersections of people with courage, vision, and resources.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

Don't be irresponsible in you...

Don't be irresponsible in your risks, but as long as the project can fail without it causing the person to fail, keep trying; keep taking the best shots. Learn from them; pick yourself up.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

Get used to dealing with fail...

Get used to dealing with failure as long as it doesn't hurt people around you, as long as it doesn't hurt you physically, or it doesn't hurt you so much that you can't pick yourself up.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

Americans thinking that Ameri...

Americans thinking that America will continue to lead the world in innovation and quality of life without some quick and serious educational improvements are dangerously delusional.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

The future is going to requir...

The future is going to require really smart people. What we think are crises today probably will be no big deal, and we have no idea what will really be crises in the future.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

Every once in a while, a new ...

Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into an innovation.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

A patent, or invention, is an...

A patent, or invention, is any assemblage of technologies or ideas that you can put together that nobody put together that way before. That's how the patent office defines it. That's an invention.

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

I started realizing that I wa...

I started realizing that I wasn't so dumb; rather, most people simply didn't know the answers to the questions that I was interested in-or they didn't care

Dean Kamen 73 quotes

To me, innovations are the wheel, fire, language, movable type. There are not 3 million innovations; there are 3 million inventions
