Social media is such a powerful tool and I would love it to be a hub of celebration rather than focusing on negativity.
I like computers. I like the Internet. It’s a tool that can be used. But don’t be misled into thinking that these technologies are anything other than aspects of a degenerate economic system.
On Staten Island, there’s a ship graveyard. I’m using that a lot, even for ‘Under the Dome.’ When I’m dissatisfied with a location scout, I go on Google Earth. It’s an amazing tool.
Thank the Lord for using each person as a tool in your life to deepen your insight into His grace and conforming you to the image of His Son.
I am State Senator Russell Pearce, the author of SB1070, which was signed by Governor Jan Brewer. Fear mongering and misinformation is the tool of the Left against this common sense legislation.
I’ve learned over decades of building that a deadline is a potent tool for problem-solving.
I was one of the first practitioners of social engineering as a hacking technique, and today it is my only tool of use, aside from a smartphone – in a purely white hat sort of way. But if you don’t trust me, then ask any reasonably competent social engineer.
I don’t see a groundswell of people willing to raise gas taxes right now. That leaves fuel economy standards as the only effective tool we have as a nation to make a dent in our dangerous and ever growing consumption of oil.
While abolishing judgeships and lower federal courts is a blunt tool and one whose use is warranted only in the most extreme of circumstances… it is one of many possibilities to check and balance the judiciary.
My main objective is to introduce students to dance and the other arts, not necessarily for them to pursue, but as a method of discipline. When they learn to apply themselves freely they can learn to enjoy themselves and apply that tool of discipline to other interests.
The Internet is a great communication tool, but just like anything, there can be negative aspects.
A computer is a general-purpose machine with which we engage to do some of our deepest thinking and analyzing. This tool brings with it assumptions about structuredness, about defined interfaces being better. Computers abhor error.
In terms of weapons, the best disarmament tool so far is nuclear energy. We have been taking down the Russian warheads, turning it into electricity. 10 percent of American electricity comes from decommissioned warheads.
Infinite power just isn’t very interesting, no matter what game you’re playing. It’s much more fun when you have a limited tool set to use against the odds.
The whole thing about Tool is that it kind of feeds on itself. If it’s going, it’s going. If it’s at a grinding halt, there’s either the will to pick it up again and get it going or not. We’ve been through serious stages of nothing… business problems or personal problems or whatever.
Film has always been a really good tool for me to communicate emotion about why I create a collection. I’m probably one of the first designers to make short films.
I like to work fast. I despise not having the right tool or, worse, knowing I have it but not being able to find it. It’s a pointless delay that wrecks my pace – and mood.
I think it’s a brilliant tool to have, not only to have a sense of humor, but to be able to use humor to help one navigate life, and I tend not to be that type of person. I wish I were.
I think that Twitter is a useful reporting tool sometimes, but an utterly toxic swamp that nonetheless I engage in more than I probably should.
God has given us an imagination, and our imagination is really the principle tool from which all creativity and artistry comes from.
I think social media is a great tool if you use it the right way.
Replacing human vision is more than just a tool: we need to understand how that affects the brain.
The death penalty in the U.S. has become a political tool – and it should never be that.
What is it to keep kosher? Is it eating kosher potato chips? Kosher is a bigger idea. I think it’s about being healthy. But according to some people, it’s about not eating this food because it’s forbidden by the Jewish law. My view of the halachah changed a little bit. The laws are there hopefully to be a tool.
When someone at the State Department proclaims Facebook to be the most organic tool for promoting democracy the world has ever seen – that’s a direct quote – it may help in the short run by getting more people onto Facebook by making it more popular with dissidents.
I mean, I certainly wouldn’t want to paint myself as, you know, the evangelist for practical effects or some sort of anti CG guy because it’s really a tool. Like filmmaking is this toolbox and you use what’s appropriate in relation to the story.
I really wanted to give people that tool, that thing, that answer, ‘Well, what are you going to do after Katrina? How does New Orleans come back?’ And I’m thinking to myself, New Orleans is back. We’re the definition of ‘back.’ We’re the definition of ‘rebirth,’ of ‘renaissance.’
A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.
I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Money is the great tool through whose means labor and skill become universally co-operative.
Giftedness gives you this amazing tool kit for handling self-discipline and gives you an area of knowledge, but then it also gives you this weird set of aspirations.
Music is your own talent and is an important tool. Even if you don’t want to be a role model, get ready to be in the public eye. Energy is there, you just have to use it.
I think computers are the ultimate writing tool. I’m a very slow writer, so I appreciate it every day.
I’d literally rather hang out at the T.G.I. Friday’s in New Jersey than tool around at a place that sells $40 cheeseburgers.
I mean, money is a tool.
For me, Venus are the experts in keeping my legs smooth, and offer a wide range of razors to ensure I have the right tool for the right time for the best results.
I don’t think it’s not feminist to use every tool you have to succeed, and part of that is being a woman – presenting yourself in a certain way.
Music is such a powerful tool, and there are so many people who need love and encouragement and hope.
I use Twitter as a tool to get involved with people, to sell tickets to gigs where I can stand in a room and smell the audience – and I love that!
I am not knocking the Net as a research tool. It is the best, and obviously, life has never been better for students.
There’s a fine line between artist and product. I don’t think the industry purposely does it, but I think that’s just the way they maneuver. You have to be careful that doesn’t become your story, where you become a product, and your art is tarnished because you’re just seen as a tool to make money.
Monsters are a storytelling tool, like domestic realism and close third.
I take a very different approach to public service. I’m a person that always takes it out in the streets and in the courts… the tool box that is attached to me is very diverse.
WordPress, it’s a complex tool; it’s like the back of a digital SLR… but that doesn’t work on a phone.
Comedy is like math – you can check your answer because you know you’ve gotten it right if you get a laugh. It just makes sense to me. I feel like because I’ve had to keep that tool in my box for so long, I’m ready to show it off a bit.
However much some journalists may criticize me, I know that I look, feel, and behave several decades younger than my actual age, and much of that is because I believe you are what you think you are. This is called positive affirmation, and it’s a really strong tool.
I think drones are a good tool to go after high-valued targets.
The thing with computer-generated imagery is that it’s an incredibly powerful tool for making better visual effects. But I believe in an absolute difference between animation and photography.
Public health is a powerful tool to level that playing field, to bend the arc of our country away from distrust and disparities and back towards equity and justice.
Waterboarding should never be used as an interrogation tool. It is beneath our values.
The word ‘midget’ is a slur. It evolved from P. T. Barnum’s era of circuses and freak shows. Society has evolved. So should our vocabulary. Language is a powerful tool. It does not just name our society. It shapes it.
I’m a novelist, a critic, an essayist – I tend to see politics as a subset of cultures rather than the other way around. It’s a human enterprise, a tool or a technology revealing our collective inner self.
For me, money is a tool.
The REAL ID Act is one tool to help safeguard against potential danger.
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
I certainly love the bluegrass ensemble, I think it’s a powerful tool, but I don’t think it’s more than a tool.
It’s amazing what we’ve been through already in our lives no matter what our age. Think of what we’ve seen, people we’ve met, our relationships, experiences, and accomplishments. Reflection is a powerful tool.
I feel ‘Love Letters’ has been part of a longer journey towards a very simple, international sound in which the sitar is no longer exotic or classical, but simply a tool of expression when juxtaposed with the voice and cross-genre elements.
