The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don’t understand the software parts of it. And so you really can’t make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple’s the only company that has everything under one roof. Steve Jobs
When the International Trade Centre, the agency I head, works with German electronics giant Bosch to help Kenyan food processing companies boost their productivity and export competitiveness, we may well be creating future customers for Bosch washing machines. Arancha Gonzalez
People think unless you have loops and electronics and so on, you must be in your 50s. I quite like a lot of things that have loops and sequencers, but I couldn’t really be bothered. Teddy Thompson
I love electronics. Doug McMillon
We see portability in electronics being a continuing requirement, higher functionality, better battery life, requiring lower power for the actual electronics. David Milne
Many Americans are unaware that discarded electronics often contain lead, mercury, and other toxins and end up being salvaged under inhumane conditions in the developing world. Gene Green
During my pre-college years, I went on many trips with my father into the oil fields to visit their operations. On Saturday mornings, I often went with him to visit the company shop. I puttered around the machine, electronics, and automobile shops while he carried on his business. Robert Woodrow Wilson
Electronics are getting more and more accessible now – you don’t have to be an engineer to start building things. Simone Giertz
One of the issues in electronics is that we work only in two scales – transistors and collections of transistors – and that’s the device. But to take full advantage of nano, we’re going to have to think about that full hierarchy of levels of structure. George M. Whitesides
Consumer electronics is a challenging one. Kevin Rollins
Shiv Nadar University has five schools with 16 departments offering 14 undergraduate, 10 master’s and 13 doctoral programmes. The demand for engineering courses – computer science, engineering, electronics, communication engineering, mechanical engineering – is slightly on the higher side compared to other engineering courses. Shiv Nadar
Forty percent of all electronics sold are assembled by Foxconn. Charles Duhigg
I think that a lot of guys reach for electronics first, but the truth is that you can never keep up with electronics. You buy a flat-screen TV, and then six months later, there’s one that has 3D and Blu-ray and all this business, and that is just going to keep continuing. Nate Berkus
I love to shop. Clothes, electronics, and I love jewelry, especially yellow gold. Apolo Ohno
Nanoengineering is learning how to make devices as small as 10 to 100 atoms in width. Much of the work is going on in the electronics industry, where there is great demand to pack more components onto computer chips. George M. Whitesides
A basic truth that the history of the creation of the transistor reveals is that the foundations of transistor electronics were created by making errors and following hunches that failed to give what was expected. William Shockley
Because the last time I saw my family was 2015. Sometimes I even forget what they look like, you know? It’s so hard to communicate with them. Because Turkish police raided my house. They took electronics away, computers away. They wanted to see if I’m still in contact with my family or not. Any single text, they will all be in jail. Enes Kanter
When the Grateful Dead needed a quality sound system to deliver our sonic payload, I learned electronics and speaker design. Mickey Hart

I met Woz when I was 13, at a friend’s garage. He was about 18. He was, like, the first person I met who knew more electronics than I did at that point. We became good friends, because we shared an interest in computers and we had a sense of humor. We pulled all kinds of pranks together. Steve Jobs
People tend to associate Qualcomm with the chip – and they should: We’re an excellent chip company – but I think we have a larger role in the ecosystem of cellular that I think people are not aware of. And our relevance to more consumer electronics – and, I would say, industries – is actually just increasing. Steve Mollenkopf
I fell in love with electronics, which for me was the terra incognita, because I had never heard such sounds. If you’d asked me 50 years ago, I would have said the future of music is only electronic, but I would have been wrong. I learnt how to produce everything I needed with live instrumentalists, so I don’t need electronics. Jonny Greenwood
I knew there was a way to blend records together, but I didn’t know how to. This was haunting me when I was in my teens. In my frustration, I decided to start experimenting with electronics. I tested the torque factor on different turntables. I had to figure needles out. See, there are two kinds, elliptical and conical. Grandmaster Flash
Going back to the technical track of my life, note that I have been designing electronic products, both of the consumer and defense electronics variety, since Pluto was a pup. Many of these products broke new ground… creativity at work! Ralph H. Baer
As homeowners see the value of their homes decline, they become more likely to delay purchases of the big items – like automobiles, electronics and home appliances – that are ballasts of the American economy. When those purchases decline, large manufacturing firms, suddenly short on funds, could begin laying off employees. Charles Duhigg
Other kids went out and beat each other up or played baseball, and I built electronics. Robert Moog
As far as using electronics in my music, I have to do that as honestly as possible. Also, I have a broad range of listeners from a classical music base, as well as people, like me, who listen to a lot of different music. So I’m mindful of letting my sitar playing remain at the center of what I do. Anoushka Shankar
Lumileds is a highly successful supplier of lighting components to the general illumination, automotive, and consumer electronics markets, with a strong customer base. Frans van Houten

My father owned a small company, called Gundel Electronics, where he did community band radio and some repair stuff. Rashid Johnson
The electronics industry expanded rapidly and the seeds for the semiconductor and software revolution were planted. The postwar period also saw the suburbanization of America, the rise of the homeowner, the build-out of the interstate highway system, and the rise of automobile culture. Credit availability expanded dramatically. Barry Ritholtz
Electronics companies are purchasing the minerals that come out of the Eastern Congo, and they are illicit; they’re dirty. Robin Wright
At Netflix, we realized that we weren’t in business with the Toshibas and the Sonys of the world. We were in business with the guy sitting at home trying to find a DVD to watch. If we had the courage to focus on him, everyone – movie studios, electronics companies, Netflix itself – won. Marc Randolph
This current round of gigs, I’m just doing it using pure electronics. Tom Jenkinson
Components are important in the evolution of cars, and there is increasing need for electronics. John Elkann
Japan, not only a mega-busy city that thrives on electronics and efficiency, actually has an almost sacred appreciation of nature. One must travel outside of Tokyo to truly experience the ‘old Japan’ and more importantly feel these aspects of Japanese culture. Apolo Ohno
Our kids are actually doing what we told them to do when they sit in front of that TV all day or in front of that computer game all day. The society is telling kids unconsciously that nature’s in the past. It really doesn’t count anymore, that the future is in electronics, and besides, the bogeyman is in the woods. Richard Louv
The best way to do that is to pick up a new instrument or an instrument that you don’t typically write on and see where it takes you. Whether it’s using an acoustic guitar, or piano, or electronics as tools, all of these lead to creating different types of songs and I used all of these methods for this record. Serj Tankian
When it comes to consumer electronics, I’m a big fat sucker, because even though I know you should never, ever buy anything until the second version of it is released, I just can’t resist. I live in a state of perpetual Beta. Susan Orlean
One of the world’s most successful and yet mysterious companies in the world, Samsung Electronics, has been operating without its leader for months and likely will continue to do so for some time to come. Adam Lashinsky
In 2013, Samsung accounted for about 20 percent of South Korea’s total business profits. Samsung Electronics, just one of scores of subsidiaries, accounts for close to 15 percent of the total shares in the South Korean stock market. But you don’t need to know these figures to get a feel for Samsung’s hold on the country. Kim Young-ha
When I graduated high school, nearly a half-million people subscribed to ‘Popular Electronics’ magazine. Soldering up some radio or hi-fi amplifier on the basement workbench was not just a personal passion – a lot of young people were doing the same. The magazine expired in 1999 for lack of interest. Seth Shostak
Silver is used in the electronics industry and is consumed daily; stock piles of silver are dwindling. Robert Kiyosaki
Robotics has already made significant inroads in electronics assembly, with sewing trades – traditionally many countries’ first entry point to the global trading system – likely to come next. Michael Spence

When I got started, I was a sideshow. At my first Consumer Electronics Show, in 1977 in Chicago, people came from all over the floor to see the ‘lady programmer.’ They had me dressed in a turquoise lab coat with my name embroidered on the pocket. Brenda Laurel
We are telling our kids that nature is in the past and it probably doesn’t count anymore, the future is in electronics, the boogeyman is in the woods, and playing outdoors is probably illicit and possibly illegal. Richard Louv
In the 1920s, a generation before the coming of solid-state electronics, one could look at the circuits and see how the electron stream flowed. Radios had valves, as though electricity were a fluid to be diverted by plumbing. With the click of the knob came a significant hiss and hum, just at the edge of audibility. James Gleick
It seems that every generation needs its public, tweedy, literary personality to sell its consumer electronics. To whatever degree I can live up to the Plimptonian legacy, I am humble and proud. John Hodgman

I don’t think people change; electronics change, the things we have change, but the way we live doesn’t change. Judy Blume
Well, the big products in electronics in the ’50s were radio and television. The first big computers were just beginning to come in and represented the most logical market for us to work in. Jack Kilby
I probably use email the most. I dunno if that counts as an app. I try to stay off my electronics as much as possible. Real life is happening all around you; you’re better off just being a part of it. Nathan Parsons
Essentially, every technology you have ever heard of, where electrons move from here to there, has the potential to be revolutionized by the availability of molecular wires made up of carbon. Organic chemists will start building devices. Molecular electronics could become reality. Richard Smalley
I’ve been a bit of an electronics enthusiast and maker for a long time. I actually started the forum called ModRetro.

If you build a robot, you’re welding, machining sculpting, casting, dealing with electronics and hydraulics. Jamie Hyneman
A lot of my music tends to combine electronics and orchestra. Johann Johannsson
I’m a very textural composer. I care a lot about textures and gestures. Electronics add so much to that. It’s like a flavor – it creates so much texture. Du Yun
I think I have this field around me that makes electronics work bad. It’s not like an entropy thing; it happens very quickly. Cary Fukunaga
I was classically trained. But more than just the fact that I play violin, there’s a lot of classical elements in the way I write, in the way I hear chords. A lot of times, I think of my songs as a symphony made out of electronics rather than instruments. And I love to do orchestral arrangements of my songs after they’re done. Lindsey Stirling
When it came time to find employment, I set my sights on becoming an engineer at a home electronics manufacturer, a field that was closely related to my major at university. Koichi Tanaka
My poor children have been the subject of all of my experiments. We’re still doing what I call ‘Amish summers’ where I turn off all electronics and pack away all their computers and stuff and watch them scream for a while until they settle down into, like, an electronic-free summer. Shonda Rhimes
I’m not much into current electronic stuff, what I think of as lounge electronics, mumbling electronics. Derek Bailey
I did a lot of blue collar work. I also worked as a temp. I did, you know, light construction and cleaning. I did clerical temping. I also fix cars and motorcycles and electronics. David Autor
I always wonder if Apple iPhones and all these electronics that we use today are still going to be a thing in like 10, 20 years. Noah Schnapp
I’d learned enough about circuitry in high school electronics to know how to drive a TV and get it to draw – shapes of characters and things. Steve Wozniak
In the developed world, we are surrounded by electronics – from the computers on our desks to the smart phones in our pockets to the thermostats in our homes to our data in the virtual cloud. Joe Kaeser
Forrest Mims is the author of the famous book ‘Getting Started in Electronics,’ published by RadioShack for many years. I bought the book in the 1980s and had a blast making the projects in it. When I was editor-in-chief of ‘MAKE,’ I asked Forrest to write a column for the magazine, called ‘The Backyard Scientist.’ Mark Frauenfelder
I quite frankly enjoy the touch and feel of a store, so I am a big bookshop person. Or, I go to an electronics store; Best Buy and Croma are places I could spend a lot of time in. Ratan Tata
The Germans are clear about what they do – cars and machine tools; the Japanese are clear about what they do – electronics; the Chinese are clear about what they do – they’re the workshop of the world. Evan Davis
Go where your customers take you! For example, did you know that Sony’s first product was a rice cooker? Since abandoning the rice cooker, it has merely managed to become the world’s biggest consumer electronics company. Naveen Jain
People are craving this great progress in electronics, going after computers, the Internet, etc. It’s a giant progress technologically. But they must have a balance of soul, a balance for human beauty. That means art has an important role. Mstislav Rostropovich
Kickstarter has shifted from funding creative projects to funding products and videogames; the biggest funded are consumer electronics and video game projects. Freddie Wong
A lot of the Warp stuff has infected people’s minds ’cause they’re at the point where they can put tracks out, ’cause electronics are cheaper in America and kids are richer generally. Sean Booth
Microprocessors were instantly attractive to us because you could build something for a fraction of the cost of conventional electronics. That’s essentially what we did with the Traf-O-Data computer – only it was too narrow and challenging an area to try to build a service business in. Paul Allen
The urge to miniaturize electronics did not exist before the space program. I mean our grandparents had radios that was furniture in the living room. Nobody at the time was saying, ‘Gee, I want to carry that in my pocket.’ Which is a non-thought. Neil deGrasse Tyson
We hope to be a leader in the convergence of consumer electronics and communications. Ted Waitt
I love to watch ‘Hoarders.’ My grandmother was a hoarder. My mother’s on her way. I’m an electronics hoarder – I won’t throw any out. I still have my first T-Mobile Sidekick… old VCRs in my garage. It scares me that I’m going to end up being buried under electronics. Kevin Frazier
There’s a lot of pressure to release a game early. In Syndicate’s case there was a lot of pressure from us on distributors Electronics Arts to release it in March ’93, and I said no. Peter Molyneux
I don’t think Apple would be making the computers, the iPhone, being the top electronics company it is, if Steve Jobs didn’t have some regrets over mistakes he made and learned to overcome them. Vitor Belfort
The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to mechanize production. The Second used electric power to create mass production. The Third used electronics and information technology to automate production. Klaus Schwab
Dad was very into electronics, robotics and computers, so I was interested in what he was doing. Rhianna Pratchett
I don’t have any of the modern electronics at all. I know the Internet would be a distraction. I would see things that interested me and never get back to writing. Elmore Leonard
When a nanotech company matures and becomes a real business, it becomes something else. It becomes a biotech company or a cleantech company or a memory chip company. Nanotechnology has fueled the core innovations in electronics and energy. Steve Jurvetson
I think right now the jury is out on where and how much profit is available in the consumer electronics industry, because if you look at the current consumer electronics players, the biggest ones on the planet struggle to make profit consistently. Kevin Rollins
I often think about, ‘How do we return to a simpler way of living? Is there some way that we can start to think of each other as human beings again, instead of worshiping money, instead of worshiping electronics, instead of worshiping getting ahead just for me?’ Giancarlo Esposito
For more than 10 years, Daniel Snaith has been playing mad scientist with pop and psychedelic music. As Manitoba, and more recently as Caribou, he’s pushed the genres’ limits with electronics and studio trickery. Anthony Fantano
I like really sparse electronics, lush arrangements, and interesting chord structures. Josh Klinghoffer
