Herbert Simon

Anything that gives us new knowledge gives us an opportunity to be more rational.

Knowledge

Herbert Simon

There are no morals about technology at all. Technology expands our ways of thinking about things, expands our ways of doing things. If we're bad people we use technology for bad purposes and if we're good people we use it for good purposes.

Technology

Herbert Simon

Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design.

Architecture

Herbert Simon

Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.
