Carl William Brown But if the radiant light that once shone is now forever removed from my gaze, if nothing can cause the grass to renew its splendor and revive the flower, we will not sleep over the baleful fate, but even more steadfast in chest we will enjoy what is left. William Wordsworth It is a strange desire, to seek power and to lose liberty: or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man’s self.

The Cult of Ignorance
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” -Issac Asimov
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” -Daniel J. Boorstin
“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.” -Harlan Ellison
"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
"I know of no time in human history where ignorance was better than knowledge." -Neil deGrasse Tyson
"There are in fact two things, science, and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance." -Hippocrates
"The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all." -John F. Kennedy
"Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." -Confucius
"To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today." -Isaac Asimov

• Because I believe that humans are computers, I conjectured that computers, like people, can have left- and right-handed versions. – Philip Emeagwali • Because we do not understand the brain very well we are constantly tempted to use the latest technology as a model for trying to understand it. In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard…Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electromagnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill…At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital computer. – John Searle • Before I published my first book, I worked for a while as a documentary and wedding/bar mitzvah videographer, and a part of me still mourns the lost filmmaker I’ll never be. Working on a documentary is nearly the opposite artistic process to writing: as a writer you are always trying to fill out a world to fit your story, but as a documentarian your work is to carve a story out of the world. Sometimes, when I’m feeling particularly blocked at my computer, I miss the days when I could just point my camera at something interesting and wait to see what happens. – Stefan Merrill Block • Bill Gates is the pope of the personal computer industry. He decides who is going to build. – Larry Ellison • Buying the right computer and getting it to work properly is no more complicated than building a nuclear reactor from wristwatch parts in a darkened room using only your teeth. – Dave Barry • Chess is one thing, but if we get to the point computers can best humans in the arts-those splendid, millennia-old expressions of the heart and soul of human existence-then why bother existing? to produce human art a computer would have to find, feel, absorb reality to the point it is overcome, to the point it sobs for release. A computer perhaps could replicate every possibility but could never transfer the energy art requires to exist in the first place. – Jonny Lee Miller • Children want the challenge of difficult tasks – just look how much better they are than their parents on a computer. – James Dyson • Computer dating is fine, if you’re a computer. – Rita Mae Brown • Computer games don’t affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music. – Kristen Wilson • Computer languages differ not so much in what they make possible, but in what they make easy. – Larry Wall • Computer Science is embarrassed by the computer. – Alan Perlis • Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. – Edsger Dijkstra • Computer science only indicates the retrospective omnipotence of our technologies. In other words, an infinite capacity to process data (but only data — i.e. the already given) and in no sense a new vision. With that science, we are entering an era of exhaustivity, which is also an era of exhaustion. – Jean Baudrillard • Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs. – Seth Lloyd • Computers are getting smarter all the time. Scientists tell us that soon they will be able to talk to us. (And by ‘they’, I mean ‘computers’. I doubt scientists will ever be able to talk to us.) – Dave Barry • Computers are good at following instructions, but not at reading your mind. – Donald Knuth • Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy. – Joseph Campbell • Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding. – Lou Gerstner • Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. – Pablo Picasso • Computers have become more friendly, understandable, and lots of years and thought have been put into developing software to convince people that they want and need a computer. – Roberta Williams • Computers have virtually replaced tape recorders. – Tony Visconti • Computers in classrooms are the filmstrips of the 1990s. – Clifford Stoll • Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don’t need to be done. – Andy Rooney • Computers may save time but they sure waste a lot of paper. About 98 percent of everything printed out by a computer is garbage that no one ever reads. – Andy Rooney • Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living. – Nicholas Negroponte • Considering what human beings do and have done to human beings (and to other living things as well) … I can never imagine what the devil people think computers can add to the horrors. – Isaac Asimov • Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming. – Brian Kernighan • Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together. – Steve Jobs • Electronic aids, particularly domestic computers, will help the inner migration, the opting out of reality. Reality is no longer going to be the stuff out there, but the stuff inside your head. It’s going to be commercial and nasty at the same time. – J. G. Ballard • Even in the developing parts of the world, kids take to computers like fish to water. – Nicholas Negroponte • Even when I work with computers, with high technology, I always try to put in the touch of the hand. – Issey Miyake • Experts agree that the best type of computer for your individual needs is one that comes on the market about two days after you actually purchase some other computer. – Dave Barry • For a long time it puzzled me how something so expensive, so leading edge, could be so useless. And then it occurred to me that a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match. – Bill Bryson • Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer. – Danielle Bunten Berry • Getting out of the hospital is a lot like resigning from a book club. You’re not out of it until the computer says you’re out of it. – Erma Bombeck • Here’s my library, where I don’t do a lot of reading but mostly play Angry Birds on the computer. – J. Lynn • Home computers are being called upon to perform many new functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog. – Doug Larson • I always say that my favorite game was Original Adventure, published by both Microsoft and Apple Computer back in 1980. – Roberta Williams • I am not the only person who uses his computer mainly for the purpose of diddling with his computer. – Dave Barry • I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. – Isaac Asimov • I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains. – Jeff Hawkins • I don’t have a computer. I don’t know anything about that. I don’t even know what a website is. – Michael Biehn • I don’t know anything about computers. – Adam Carolla • I don’t know when they first had feeds. Like maybe, fifty or a hundred years ago. Before that, they had to use their hands and their eyes. Computers were all outside the body. They carried them around outside of them, in their hands, like if you carried your lungs in a briefcase and opened it to breathe. – Matthew Tobin Anderson • I got interested in computers and how they could be enslaved to the megalomaniac impulses of a teenager. – Eugene Jarvis • I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen. – Steve Wozniak • I happen to think that computers are the most important thing to happen to musicians since the invention of cat-gut which was a long time ago. – Robert Moog • I read reviews of critics I respect and feel I can learn something from. Right now there are a lot of bottom-feeder critics who just have access to a computer and don’t necessarily have an academic or cinema background that I can detect, so I tend to ignore that and stay with the same top-tier critics that I’ve come to respect. I like reading a good review – it doesn’t have to be favorable, but a well-thought-out one – because I very much appreciate the relationship of directors and critics. – Alexander Payne • I should prefer to have a politician who regularly went to a massage parlour than one who promised a laptop computer for every teacher. – A. N. Wilson • I started on an Apple II, which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4,500 a year, and I spent half of it on the computer. – Bill Budge • I think computer viruses should count as life … I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image. – Stephen Hawking • I think computer viruses should count as life. – Stephen Hawking • I think computers have changed things tremendously. At one time, you tended to take the rough with the smooth. But now, because you can go back and stop and start, and have a limitless amount of tracks if anything looks remotely good, we keep it. You’ve got to go through the agony of sounding very human at first, and then you work on it with the aid of technology. Computers have revolutionized things in many ways allowing me to work to a standard I could have only joked about fourty years ago. – Steve Hackett • I think games are starting to branch out. It’s not just guys sitting at their computer stations. Games are so fun, that everybody gets into them a little bit. – Christian Slater • I think it’s fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we’ve ever created. They’re tools of communication, they’re tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user. – Bill Gates • I think that an artist is a bit like a computer. He receives information from the world around him and from his past and from his own experiences. And it all goes into the brain. – Gerald Scarfe • I visited a scientist who had a helmet with magnetic fields controlled by computer sequences that could profoundly affect your mood and your perceptions. – Douglas Trumbull • I want to be sitting in front of my computer, where you can press a button to block out your junk mail. These two are my junk mail. – Melina Marchetta • I was on one of my fruitarian diets” Steve Jobs recalled “I had just comeback from the apple farm. It sounded fun, spirited, and not intimidating. Apple took the edge of the word ‘computer’, plus it would get us a head of Atari in the phone book. He told Wozniak if a better name did not hit them by the next afternoon, they would just stick with apple and they did. 1 Apr 1976 – Walter Isaacson • I was planning on starting a new file on my computer with the title “Phrases That Sound One Way to Witches but Mean Something Else to Vampires. – Deborah Harkness • I wouldn’t know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it. – Marc Jacobs • I wrote an ad for Apple Computer: “Macintosh – We might not get everything right, but at least we knew the century was going to end”. – Douglas Adams • If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 MPG. – Bill Gates • If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them. – Steve Jobs • If more women want to be a part of the computer industry today, they have to do more to put themselves there. Nobody is keeping them out. – Roberta Williams • If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls Royce would today cost $100 and get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside. – Robert X. Cringely • If you could utilize the resources of the end users’ computers, you could do things much more efficiently. – Niklas Zennstrom • If you don’t want to be replaced by a computer, don’t act like one. – Arno Allan Penzias • If you put tomfoolery into a computer, nothing comes out of it but tomfoolery. But this tomfoolery, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow enobled and no-one dares criticize it. – Pierre Marie Gallois • If your computer speaks English, it was probably made in Japan. – Alan Perlis • If you’re a doctor, or a scientist, or a computer programmer, it shouldn’t matter whether you come from Nigeria, or Norway, or any other country on this earth. Today though we have a system that rewards ties of blood, ties of kin, ties of clan. That’s one of the most un-American immigration systems I can imagine. – Tom Cotton • If you’re working on a computer and you’re editing bass, it looks like a warm curvy, sort of feminine object. – Colin Greenwood • I’m a ’70s mom, and my daughter is a ’90s mom. I know a lot of women my age who are real computer freaks. – Florence Henderson • I’m bullish on writing. Movies, radio, television, and now digital media – everything was supposed to push us away from text, to video or “back” to speech. First, there’s no going back. We’re always stumbling forward. Second, writing is invincible. Thirty years ago, we thought we’d all be talking to our computers; instead, we’re all typing on our phones. – Tim Carmody • I’m too old-fashioned to use a computer. I’m too old-fashioned to use a quill. – Christopher Plummer • Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining. – Jef Raskin • In a chemistry class there was a guy sitting in front of me doing what looked like a jigsaw puzzle or some really weird kind of thing. He told me he was writing a computer program. – Jon Postel • In all large corporations, there is a pervasive fear that someone, somewhere is having fun with a computer on company time. Networks help alleviate that fear. – John C. Dvorak • It was a black and white only computer at the time, but it kept me fascinated. – Buffy Sainte-Marie • It was very difficult to startle or surprise someone with a particular sound during the family computer era. – Nobuo Uematsu • It’s hardware that makes a machine fast. It’s software that makes a fast machine slow. – Craig Reucassel • It’s not computer literacy that we should be working on, but sort of human-literacy. Computers have to become human-literate. – Nicholas Negroponte • I’ve got a computer, but I won’t go near it. – Jo Stafford • I’ve never been able to arouse any interest in myself for digitally produced sound, and so the computer turns me off. – David Tudor • Ive never really been anywhere, and now I get to go everywhere. I just have to make sure theres enough memory on my computer to hold all my pictures. – Carrie Underwood • Just remember: you’re not a ‘dummy,’ no matter what those computer books claim. The real dummies are the people who-though technically expert-couldn’t design hardware and software that’s usable by normal consumers if their lives depended upon it. – Walt Mossberg • Ladies and gentlemen.” He [Jabba] sighed. “Meet the kamikaze of computer invaders…the worm. – Dan Brown • Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do. – Donald Knuth • Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose. – Andy Rooney • Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all. – John F. Kennedy • Man, I don’t want to have nothing to do with computers. I don’t want the government in my business. – Erykah Badu • Many of our own people here in this country do not ask about computers, telephones and television sets. They ask – when will we get a road to our village. – Thabo Mbeki • Modern people are only willing to believe in their computers, while I believe in myself. – Alain Robert • My computer beat me at checkers, but I sure beat it at kickboxing.- Emo Philips • My instructors in science and technology have taught us about how the brain works. It’s full of electrical impulses. It’s like a computer. If you stimulate one part of the brain with an electrode, it… – They know nothing. – Lois Lowry • My tax return in the United States has to be kept on a special computer because their normal computers can’t deal with the numbers. So I am constantly getting these notices telling me I haven’t paid something when really it is just on the wrong computer. – Bill Gates • Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We’ll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today. – Ralph Merkle • Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window. – Steve Wozniak • No one will need more than 637Kb of memory for a personal computer – Bill Gates • No operational commander should have to assign a soldier a task that could be done as well by a computer, a remote sensor, or an unmanned airplane. – Richard Perle • Not even computers will replace committees, because committees buy computers. – Shepherd Mead • Now they can do all these magic things with computers. So you think you get to do something in a movie and you find out you don’t get to really do it. – Angelina Jolie • Now, what does a vampire do with a computer? Keep track of investments? Send e-mail to other vampires as you all plot to take over the world?” “I spend a lot of time on Wikipedia making corrections to the entries of historical figures I’ve known.” I blinked at him. “Really?” “No, Kitty. That was a joke. – Carrie Vaughn • On the molecular scale, you find it’s reasonable to have a machine that does a million steps per second, a mechanical system that works at computer speeds. – K. Eric Drexler • One day ladies will take their computers for walks in the park and tell each other, “My little computer said such a funny thing this morning”. – Alan Turing • One of the best things to come out of the home computer revolution could be the general and widespread understanding of how severely limited logic really is. – Frank Herbert • One of the most feared expressions in modern times is ‘The computer is down.’ – Norman Ralph Augustine • Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest. – Isaac Asimov • People think computers will keep them from making mistakes. They’re wrong. With computers you make mistakes faster. – Adam Osborne • People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones. – Donald Knuth • Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility. – Richard Dawkins • Putting a computer in front of a child and expecting it to teach him is like putting a book under his pillow, only more expensive – Joseph Weizenbaum • Rarely is it possible to study all of the instructions to a game before beginning to play, or to memorize the manual before turning on the computer. The excitement of improvisation lies not only in the risk of being involved but in the new ideas, as heady as the adrenaline of performance, that seems to come from nowhere. – Mary Catherine Bateson • Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading sex manuals without the software. – Arthur C. Clarke • Right now, computers, which are supposed to be our servant, are oppressing us. – Jef Raskin • Run for your lives-the computers are invading. Awesomely powerful computers tackling ever more important tasks with awkward, old-fashioned interfaces. As these machines leak into every corner of our lives, they will annoy us, infuriate us, and even kill a few of us. In turn, we will be tempted to kill our computers, but we won’t dare because we are already utterly, irreversibly dependent on these hopeful monsters that make modern life possible. – Alan Cooper • Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do. – Donald Knuth • Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers – organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative – if we don’t solve these security problems, then people will hold back. – Bill Gates • Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020. – Ray Kurzweil • Talking about his first computer Like all kids we not only fooled around with our toys, we changed them. If you’ve ever watched a child with a cardboard carton and a box of crayons create a spaceship with cool control panels, or listened to their improvised rules, such as “Red cars can jump all others,” then you know that this impulse to make a toy do more is at the heart of innovative childhood play. It is also the essence of creativity. – Bill Gates • Telling computer guys that they need to have permission to quote things is like having to tell little children about Death. – Ted Nelson • That’s the thing about people who think they hate computers. What they really hate is lousy programmers. – Larry Niven • The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work. – Brian Eno • The best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor. – Wernher von Braun • The best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished out listings of their operating systems. – Bill Gates • The breakup of Bell laid the foundation for every important communications revolution since the 1980s onward. There was no way of knowing that thirty years on we would have an Internet, handheld computers, and social networking, but it is hard to imagine their coming when they did, had the company that bured the answering machine remained intact. – Tim Wu • The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers. – Lewis Thomas • The computer beeped as the upload completed. A moment later, Ian Kabra appeared on the screen. Dan was surprised. “Hey, Ian, isn’t it, like, two in the morning back there?” “It’s called jet lag,” Ian informed him. “I’m still on London time. I don’t suppose you savages have any tea in this mausoleum.” “There’s a diet Snapple in the fridge.” Ian shuddered. “I thought not. – Gordon Korman • The computer can’t tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what’s missing is the eyebrows. – Frank Zappa • The computer is a moron. – Peter Drucker • The computer saves man a lot of guesswork, but so does the bikini. – Evan Esar • The computer was born to solve problems that did not exist before. – Bill Gates • The computer would do anything you programmed it to do. – Vinton Cerf • The future lies in designing and selling computers that people don’t realize are computers at all. – Adam Osborne • The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do. – Ted Nelson • The great thing about a computer notebook is that no matter how much you stuff into it, it doesn’t get bigger or heavier. – Bill Gates • The inside of a computer is as dumb as hell but it goes like mad! – Richard P. Feynman • The kitchen was also messy–delightfully so, thought Jane–and it didn’t look as though lots of cooking went on there. There was a laptop computer on the counter with duck stickers on it, the spice cabinet was full of Ben’s toy trucks, and Jane couldn’t spot a cookbook anywhere. This is the kitchen of a Thinker, she decided, and promised herself that she’d never bother with cooking, either. – Jeanne Birdsall • The most amazing achievement of the computer software industry is its continuing cancellation of the steady and staggering gains made by the computer hardware industry. – Henry Petroski • The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it to a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people – as remarkable as the telephone. – Steve Jobs • The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That’s where we come in; we’re computer professionals. We cause accidents. – Nathaniel Borenstein • The next major explosion is going to be when genetics and computers come together. I’m talking about an organic computer – about biological substances that can function like a semiconductor. – Alvin Toffler • The only legitimate use of a computer is to play games. – Eugene Jarvis • The power of the computer is starting to spread. – Bill Budge • The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited. – Alan Kay • The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim. – Edsger Dijkstra • The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers. – Sydney J. Harris • The word user is the word used by the computer professional when they mean idiot. – Dave Barry • There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It’s a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you ‘play’ with them! – Richard P. Feynman • There is a popular cliché … which says that you cannot get out of computers any more than you have put in…, that computers can only do exactly what you tell them to, and that therefore computers are never creative. This cliché is true only in a crashingly trivial sense, the same sense in which Shakespeare never wrote anything except what his first schoolteacher taught him to write-words. – Richard Dawkins • There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home. – Ken Olsen • There’s a lot of music that sounds like it’s literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument. – Aimee Mann • They have computers, and they may have other weapons of mass destruction. – Janet Reno • Think? Why think! We have computers to do that for us. – Jean Rostand • This will surprise some of your readers, but my primary interest is not with computer security. I am primarily interested in writing software that works as intended. – Wietse Venema • To better understand why you need a personal computer, let’s take a look at the pathetic mess you call your life. – Dave Barry • To err is human – and to blame it on a computer is even more so. – Robert Orben • To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer. – Paul R. Ehrlich • To our human minds, computers behave less like rocks and trees than they do like humans, so we unconsciously treat them like people…. In other words, humans have special instincts that tell them how to behave around other sentient beings, and as soon as any object exhibits sufficient cognitive function, those instincts kick in and we react as though we were interacting with another sentient human being. – Alan Cooper • Unless mankind redesigns itself by changing our DNA through altering our genetic makeup, computer-genera ted robots will take over our world. – Stephen Hawking • We believe that within five years, 96 percent of British consumers will have access to the Internet, whether it be through a personal computer, a set-top box or a mobile phone. – Richard Branson • We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds, and computers make that world even more believable. – Nick Park • We demand privacy, yet we glorify those that break into computers. – Bill McCollum • We live in an age where technology is so powerful that we can make change without even leaving our computers or cell phones. – Sadie Calvano • We think that computers are the most remarkable tools that humankind has ever come up with, and we think that people are basically tool users. So if we can just get lots of computers to lots of people, it will make some qualitative difference to the world. – Steve Jobs • We used to have lots of questions to which there were no answers. Now, with the computer, there are lots of answers to which we haven’t thought up questions. – Peter Ustinov • We’ve created life in our own image. – Stephen Hawking • What do we want our kids to do? Sweep up around Japanese computers? – Walter F. Mondale • What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself. – Steve Wozniak • When I was at college there were two things I vowed I’d never do. One was go to a funeral and the other was deal with computers. And then I ended up being a computer programmer in a morgue. – Patricia Cornwell • When I write a new draft, I don’t like to feel I’m tied to any previous version. That’s why I don’t use a computer to write. The text looks, on the screen, too much like a book. It’s not a book – it’s a bad first draft of something that could one day be a book. – Lauren Groff • Why is it that drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users? – Clifford Stoll • With both people and computers on the job, computer error can be more quickly tracked down and corrected by people and, conversely, human error can be more quickly corrected by computers. What it amounts to is that nothing serious can happen unless human error and computer error take place simultaneously. And that hardly ever happens. – Isaac Asimov • With the fight scenes, they would take a video camera and shoot alongside the camera so we would piece it together on the computer and had an extremely rough cut of what we were doing. – Kelly Hu • You couldn’t have fed the ’50s into a computer and come out with the ’60s. – Paul Kantner

• A computer chatted to itself in alarm as it noticed an airlock open and close itself for no apparent reason. This was because Reason was in fact out to lunch. – Douglas Adams • A computer does not substitute for judgment any more than a pencil substitutes for literacy. But writing without a pencil is no particular advantage. – Robert McNamara • A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing. – Emo Philips • A computer shall not waste your time or require you to do more work than is strictly necessary. – Jef Raskin • A computer will do what you tell it to do, but that may be much different from what you had in mind. – Joseph Weizenbaum • A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human. – Alan Turing • A final word: I am not knowledgeable about the internet. I do not have a computer. I guess that at 74 years of age, I don’t have the patience to learn. – David Wilkerson • A terrorist doesn’t let strangers into her flat because they might be undercover police or intelligence agents, but her children bring their mates home and they run all over the place The terrorist doesn’t know that one of these kids has bugged every room in her house, made copies of all her computer files and stolen her address book. The kid works for CHERUB CHERUB agents are aged between 10 and 17. They live in the real world, slipping under adult radar and getting information that sends criminals and terrorists to jail. – Robert Muchamore • A wonderful thing about a book, in contrast to a computer screen, is that you can take it to bed with you. – Daniel J. Boorstin • Access to computers and the Internet has become a basic need for education in our society. – Kent Conrad • All of the biggest technological inventions created by man – the airplane, the automobile, the computer – says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness. – Mark Kennedy • All programmers are optimists. Perhaps this modern sorcery especially attracts those who believe in happy endings and fairy godmothers. Perhaps the hundreds of nitty frustrations drive away all but those who habitually focus on the end goal. Perhaps it is merely that computers are young, programmers are younger, and the young are always optimists. – Fred Brooks • All sorts of computer errors are now turning up. You’d be surprised to know the number of doctors who claim they are treating pregnant men. – Isaac Asimov • Any fool can use a computer. Many do. – Ted Nelson • Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. – Martin Fowler • Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch. – Tim Berners-Lee • At the risk of being a fuddy-duddy I don’t have a computer; I don’t have e-mail; and I really don’t need something in my house that I would be sitting in front of for hours. – Marian McPartland • At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer, you will find at least two human errors, one of which is the error of blaming it on the computer. – Tom Gilb • At this present time, matter is still the best way to think of architecture, but I’m not so sure for very long. The computer is radicalizing the way we think about our world. – Ben Nicholson

• Because I believe that humans are computers, I conjectured that computers, like people, can have left- and right-handed versions. – Philip Emeagwali • Because we do not understand the brain very well we are constantly tempted to use the latest technology as a model for trying to understand it. In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard…Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electromagnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill…At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital computer. – John Searle • Before I published my first book, I worked for a while as a documentary and wedding/bar mitzvah videographer, and a part of me still mourns the lost filmmaker I’ll never be. Working on a documentary is nearly the opposite artistic process to writing: as a writer you are always trying to fill out a world to fit your story, but as a documentarian your work is to carve a story out of the world. Sometimes, when I’m feeling particularly blocked at my computer, I miss the days when I could just point my camera at something interesting and wait to see what happens. – Stefan Merrill Block • Bill Gates is the pope of the personal computer industry. He decides who is going to build. – Larry Ellison • Buying the right computer and getting it to work properly is no more complicated than building a nuclear reactor from wristwatch parts in a darkened room using only your teeth. – Dave Barry • Chess is one thing, but if we get to the point computers can best humans in the arts-those splendid, millennia-old expressions of the heart and soul of human existence-then why bother existing? to produce human art a computer would have to find, feel, absorb reality to the point it is overcome, to the point it sobs for release. A computer perhaps could replicate every possibility but could never transfer the energy art requires to exist in the first place. – Jonny Lee Miller • Children want the challenge of difficult tasks – just look how much better they are than their parents on a computer. – James Dyson • Computer dating is fine, if you’re a computer. – Rita Mae Brown • Computer games don’t affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music. – Kristen Wilson • Computer languages differ not so much in what they make possible, but in what they make easy. – Larry Wall • Computer Science is embarrassed by the computer. – Alan Perlis • Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. – Edsger Dijkstra • Computer science only indicates the retrospective omnipotence of our technologies. In other words, an infinite capacity to process data (but only data — i.e. the already given) and in no sense a new vision. With that science, we are entering an era of exhaustivity, which is also an era of exhaustion. – Jean Baudrillard • Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs. – Seth Lloyd • Computers are getting smarter all the time. Scientists tell us that soon they will be able to talk to us. (And by ‘they’, I mean ‘computers’. I doubt scientists will ever be able to talk to us.) – Dave Barry • Computers are good at following instructions, but not at reading your mind. – Donald Knuth • Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy. – Joseph Campbell • Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding. – Lou Gerstner • Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. – Pablo Picasso • Computers have become more friendly, understandable, and lots of years and thought have been put into developing software to convince people that they want and need a computer. – Roberta Williams • Computers have virtually replaced tape recorders. – Tony Visconti • Computers in classrooms are the filmstrips of the 1990s. – Clifford Stoll • Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don’t need to be done. – Andy Rooney • Computers may save time but they sure waste a lot of paper. About 98 percent of everything printed out by a computer is garbage that no one ever reads. – Andy Rooney • Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living. – Nicholas Negroponte • Considering what human beings do and have done to human beings (and to other living things as well) … I can never imagine what the devil people think computers can add to the horrors. – Isaac Asimov • Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming. – Brian Kernighan • Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together. – Steve Jobs • Electronic aids, particularly domestic computers, will help the inner migration, the opting out of reality. Reality is no longer going to be the stuff out there, but the stuff inside your head. It’s going to be commercial and nasty at the same time. – J. G. Ballard • Even in the developing parts of the world, kids take to computers like fish to water. – Nicholas Negroponte • Even when I work with computers, with high technology, I always try to put in the touch of the hand. – Issey Miyake • Experts agree that the best type of computer for your individual needs is one that comes on the market about two days after you actually purchase some other computer. – Dave Barry • For a long time it puzzled me how something so expensive, so leading edge, could be so useless. And then it occurred to me that a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match. – Bill Bryson • Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer. – Danielle Bunten Berry • Getting out of the hospital is a lot like resigning from a book club. You’re not out of it until the computer says you’re out of it. – Erma Bombeck • Here’s my library, where I don’t do a lot of reading but mostly play Angry Birds on the computer. – J. Lynn • Home computers are being called upon to perform many new functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog. – Doug Larson • I always say that my favorite game was Original Adventure, published by both Microsoft and Apple Computer back in 1980. – Roberta Williams • I am not the only person who uses his computer mainly for the purpose of diddling with his computer. – Dave Barry • I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. – Isaac Asimov • I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains. – Jeff Hawkins • I don’t have a computer. I don’t know anything about that. I don’t even know what a website is. – Michael Biehn • I don’t know anything about computers. – Adam Carolla • I don’t know when they first had feeds. Like maybe, fifty or a hundred years ago. Before that, they had to use their hands and their eyes. Computers were all outside the body. They carried them around outside of them, in their hands, like if you carried your lungs in a briefcase and opened it to breathe. – Matthew Tobin Anderson • I got interested in computers and how they could be enslaved to the megalomaniac impulses of a teenager. – Eugene Jarvis • I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen. – Steve Wozniak • I happen to think that computers are the most important thing to happen to musicians since the invention of cat-gut which was a long time ago. – Robert Moog • I read reviews of critics I respect and feel I can learn something from. Right now there are a lot of bottom-feeder critics who just have access to a computer and don’t necessarily have an academic or cinema background that I can detect, so I tend to ignore that and stay with the same top-tier critics that I’ve come to respect. I like reading a good review – it doesn’t have to be favorable, but a well-thought-out one – because I very much appreciate the relationship of directors and critics. – Alexander Payne • I should prefer to have a politician who regularly went to a massage parlour than one who promised a laptop computer for every teacher. – A. N. Wilson • I started on an Apple II, which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4,500 a year, and I spent half of it on the computer. – Bill Budge • I think computer viruses should count as life … I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image. – Stephen Hawking • I think computer viruses should count as life. – Stephen Hawking • I think computers have changed things tremendously. At one time, you tended to take the rough with the smooth. But now, because you can go back and stop and start, and have a limitless amount of tracks if anything looks remotely good, we keep it. You’ve got to go through the agony of sounding very human at first, and then you work on it with the aid of technology. Computers have revolutionized things in many ways allowing me to work to a standard I could have only joked about fourty years ago. – Steve Hackett • I think games are starting to branch out. It’s not just guys sitting at their computer stations. Games are so fun, that everybody gets into them a little bit. – Christian Slater • I think it’s fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we’ve ever created. They’re tools of communication, they’re tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user. – Bill Gates • I think that an artist is a bit like a computer. He receives information from the world around him and from his past and from his own experiences. And it all goes into the brain. – Gerald Scarfe • I visited a scientist who had a helmet with magnetic fields controlled by computer sequences that could profoundly affect your mood and your perceptions. – Douglas Trumbull • I want to be sitting in front of my computer, where you can press a button to block out your junk mail. These two are my junk mail. – Melina Marchetta • I was on one of my fruitarian diets” Steve Jobs recalled “I had just comeback from the apple farm. It sounded fun, spirited, and not intimidating. Apple took the edge of the word ‘computer’, plus it would get us a head of Atari in the phone book. He told Wozniak if a better name did not hit them by the next afternoon, they would just stick with apple and they did. 1 Apr 1976 – Walter Isaacson • I was planning on starting a new file on my computer with the title “Phrases That Sound One Way to Witches but Mean Something Else to Vampires. – Deborah Harkness • I wouldn’t know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it. – Marc Jacobs • I wrote an ad for Apple Computer: “Macintosh – We might not get everything right, but at least we knew the century was going to end”. – Douglas Adams • If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 MPG. – Bill Gates • If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them. – Steve Jobs • If more women want to be a part of the computer industry today, they have to do more to put themselves there. Nobody is keeping them out. – Roberta Williams • If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls Royce would today cost $100 and get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside. – Robert X. Cringely • If you could utilize the resources of the end users’ computers, you could do things much more efficiently. – Niklas Zennstrom • If you don’t want to be replaced by a computer, don’t act like one. – Arno Allan Penzias • If you put tomfoolery into a computer, nothing comes out of it but tomfoolery. But this tomfoolery, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow enobled and no-one dares criticize it. – Pierre Marie Gallois • If your computer speaks English, it was probably made in Japan. – Alan Perlis • If you’re a doctor, or a scientist, or a computer programmer, it shouldn’t matter whether you come from Nigeria, or Norway, or any other country on this earth. Today though we have a system that rewards ties of blood, ties of kin, ties of clan. That’s one of the most un-American immigration systems I can imagine. – Tom Cotton • If you’re working on a computer and you’re editing bass, it looks like a warm curvy, sort of feminine object. – Colin Greenwood • I’m a ’70s mom, and my daughter is a ’90s mom. I know a lot of women my age who are real computer freaks. – Florence Henderson • I’m bullish on writing. Movies, radio, television, and now digital media – everything was supposed to push us away from text, to video or “back” to speech. First, there’s no going back. We’re always stumbling forward. Second, writing is invincible. Thirty years ago, we thought we’d all be talking to our computers; instead, we’re all typing on our phones. – Tim Carmody • I’m too old-fashioned to use a computer. I’m too old-fashioned to use a quill. – Christopher Plummer • Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining. – Jef Raskin • In a chemistry class there was a guy sitting in front of me doing what looked like a jigsaw puzzle or some really weird kind of thing. He told me he was writing a computer program. – Jon Postel • In all large corporations, there is a pervasive fear that someone, somewhere is having fun with a computer on company time. Networks help alleviate that fear. – John C. Dvorak • It was a black and white only computer at the time, but it kept me fascinated. – Buffy Sainte-Marie • It was very difficult to startle or surprise someone with a particular sound during the family computer era. – Nobuo Uematsu • It’s hardware that makes a machine fast. It’s software that makes a fast machine slow. – Craig Reucassel • It’s not computer literacy that we should be working on, but sort of human-literacy. Computers have to become human-literate. – Nicholas Negroponte • I’ve got a computer, but I won’t go near it. – Jo Stafford • I’ve never been able to arouse any interest in myself for digitally produced sound, and so the computer turns me off. – David Tudor • Ive never really been anywhere, and now I get to go everywhere. I just have to make sure theres enough memory on my computer to hold all my pictures. – Carrie Underwood • Just remember: you’re not a ‘dummy,’ no matter what those computer books claim. The real dummies are the people who-though technically expert-couldn’t design hardware and software that’s usable by normal consumers if their lives depended upon it. – Walt Mossberg • Ladies and gentlemen.” He [Jabba] sighed. “Meet the kamikaze of computer invaders…the worm. – Dan Brown • Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do. – Donald Knuth • Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose. – Andy Rooney • Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all. – John F. Kennedy • Man, I don’t want to have nothing to do with computers. I don’t want the government in my business. – Erykah Badu • Many of our own people here in this country do not ask about computers, telephones and television sets. They ask – when will we get a road to our village. – Thabo Mbeki • Modern people are only willing to believe in their computers, while I believe in myself. – Alain Robert • My computer beat me at checkers, but I sure beat it at kickboxing.- Emo Philips • My instructors in science and technology have taught us about how the brain works. It’s full of electrical impulses. It’s like a computer. If you stimulate one part of the brain with an electrode, it… – They know nothing. – Lois Lowry • My tax return in the United States has to be kept on a special computer because their normal computers can’t deal with the numbers. So I am constantly getting these notices telling me I haven’t paid something when really it is just on the wrong computer. – Bill Gates • Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We’ll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today. – Ralph Merkle • Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window. – Steve Wozniak • No one will need more than 637Kb of memory for a personal computer – Bill Gates • No operational commander should have to assign a soldier a task that could be done as well by a computer, a remote sensor, or an unmanned airplane. – Richard Perle • Not even computers will replace committees, because committees buy computers. – Shepherd Mead • Now they can do all these magic things with computers. So you think you get to do something in a movie and you find out you don’t get to really do it. – Angelina Jolie • Now, what does a vampire do with a computer? Keep track of investments? Send e-mail to other vampires as you all plot to take over the world?” “I spend a lot of time on Wikipedia making corrections to the entries of historical figures I’ve known.” I blinked at him. “Really?” “No, Kitty. That was a joke. – Carrie Vaughn • On the molecular scale, you find it’s reasonable to have a machine that does a million steps per second, a mechanical system that works at computer speeds. – K. Eric Drexler • One day ladies will take their computers for walks in the park and tell each other, “My little computer said such a funny thing this morning”. – Alan Turing • One of the best things to come out of the home computer revolution could be the general and widespread understanding of how severely limited logic really is. – Frank Herbert • One of the most feared expressions in modern times is ‘The computer is down.’ – Norman Ralph Augustine • Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest. – Isaac Asimov • People think computers will keep them from making mistakes. They’re wrong. With computers you make mistakes faster. – Adam Osborne • People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones. – Donald Knuth • Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility. – Richard Dawkins • Putting a computer in front of a child and expecting it to teach him is like putting a book under his pillow, only more expensive – Joseph Weizenbaum • Rarely is it possible to study all of the instructions to a game before beginning to play, or to memorize the manual before turning on the computer. The excitement of improvisation lies not only in the risk of being involved but in the new ideas, as heady as the adrenaline of performance, that seems to come from nowhere. – Mary Catherine Bateson • Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading sex manuals without the software. – Arthur C. Clarke • Right now, computers, which are supposed to be our servant, are oppressing us. – Jef Raskin • Run for your lives-the computers are invading. Awesomely powerful computers tackling ever more important tasks with awkward, old-fashioned interfaces. As these machines leak into every corner of our lives, they will annoy us, infuriate us, and even kill a few of us. In turn, we will be tempted to kill our computers, but we won’t dare because we are already utterly, irreversibly dependent on these hopeful monsters that make modern life possible. – Alan Cooper • Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do. – Donald Knuth • Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers – organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative – if we don’t solve these security problems, then people will hold back. – Bill Gates • Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020. – Ray Kurzweil • Talking about his first computer Like all kids we not only fooled around with our toys, we changed them. If you’ve ever watched a child with a cardboard carton and a box of crayons create a spaceship with cool control panels, or listened to their improvised rules, such as “Red cars can jump all others,” then you know that this impulse to make a toy do more is at the heart of innovative childhood play. It is also the essence of creativity. – Bill Gates • Telling computer guys that they need to have permission to quote things is like having to tell little children about Death. – Ted Nelson • That’s the thing about people who think they hate computers. What they really hate is lousy programmers. – Larry Niven • The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work. – Brian Eno • The best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor. – Wernher von Braun • The best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished out listings of their operating systems. – Bill Gates • The breakup of Bell laid the foundation for every important communications revolution since the 1980s onward. There was no way of knowing that thirty years on we would have an Internet, handheld computers, and social networking, but it is hard to imagine their coming when they did, had the company that bured the answering machine remained intact. – Tim Wu • The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers. – Lewis Thomas • The computer beeped as the upload completed. A moment later, Ian Kabra appeared on the screen. Dan was surprised. “Hey, Ian, isn’t it, like, two in the morning back there?” “It’s called jet lag,” Ian informed him. “I’m still on London time. I don’t suppose you savages have any tea in this mausoleum.” “There’s a diet Snapple in the fridge.” Ian shuddered. “I thought not. – Gordon Korman • The computer can’t tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what’s missing is the eyebrows. – Frank Zappa • The computer is a moron. – Peter Drucker • The computer saves man a lot of guesswork, but so does the bikini. – Evan Esar • The computer was born to solve problems that did not exist before. – Bill Gates • The computer would do anything you programmed it to do. – Vinton Cerf • The future lies in designing and selling computers that people don’t realize are computers at all. – Adam Osborne • The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do. – Ted Nelson • The great thing about a computer notebook is that no matter how much you stuff into it, it doesn’t get bigger or heavier. – Bill Gates • The inside of a computer is as dumb as hell but it goes like mad! – Richard P. Feynman • The kitchen was also messy–delightfully so, thought Jane–and it didn’t look as though lots of cooking went on there. There was a laptop computer on the counter with duck stickers on it, the spice cabinet was full of Ben’s toy trucks, and Jane couldn’t spot a cookbook anywhere. This is the kitchen of a Thinker, she decided, and promised herself that she’d never bother with cooking, either. – Jeanne Birdsall • The most amazing achievement of the computer software industry is its continuing cancellation of the steady and staggering gains made by the computer hardware industry. – Henry Petroski • The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it to a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people – as remarkable as the telephone. – Steve Jobs • The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That’s where we come in; we’re computer professionals. We cause accidents. – Nathaniel Borenstein • The next major explosion is going to be when genetics and computers come together. I’m talking about an organic computer – about biological substances that can function like a semiconductor. – Alvin Toffler • The only legitimate use of a computer is to play games. – Eugene Jarvis • The power of the computer is starting to spread. – Bill Budge • The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited. – Alan Kay • The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim. – Edsger Dijkstra • The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers. – Sydney J. Harris • The word user is the word used by the computer professional when they mean idiot. – Dave Barry • There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It’s a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you ‘play’ with them! – Richard P. Feynman • There is a popular cliché … which says that you cannot get out of computers any more than you have put in…, that computers can only do exactly what you tell them to, and that therefore computers are never creative. This cliché is true only in a crashingly trivial sense, the same sense in which Shakespeare never wrote anything except what his first schoolteacher taught him to write-words. – Richard Dawkins • There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home. – Ken Olsen • There’s a lot of music that sounds like it’s literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument. – Aimee Mann • They have computers, and they may have other weapons of mass destruction. – Janet Reno • Think? Why think! We have computers to do that for us. – Jean Rostand • This will surprise some of your readers, but my primary interest is not with computer security. I am primarily interested in writing software that works as intended. – Wietse Venema • To better understand why you need a personal computer, let’s take a look at the pathetic mess you call your life. – Dave Barry • To err is human – and to blame it on a computer is even more so. – Robert Orben • To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer. – Paul R. Ehrlich • To our human minds, computers behave less like rocks and trees than they do like humans, so we unconsciously treat them like people…. In other words, humans have special instincts that tell them how to behave around other sentient beings, and as soon as any object exhibits sufficient cognitive function, those instincts kick in and we react as though we were interacting with another sentient human being. – Alan Cooper • Unless mankind redesigns itself by changing our DNA through altering our genetic makeup, computer-genera ted robots will take over our world. – Stephen Hawking • We believe that within five years, 96 percent of British consumers will have access to the Internet, whether it be through a personal computer, a set-top box or a mobile phone. – Richard Branson • We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds, and computers make that world even more believable. – Nick Park • We demand privacy, yet we glorify those that break into computers. – Bill McCollum • We live in an age where technology is so powerful that we can make change without even leaving our computers or cell phones. – Sadie Calvano • We think that computers are the most remarkable tools that humankind has ever come up with, and we think that people are basically tool users. So if we can just get lots of computers to lots of people, it will make some qualitative difference to the world. – Steve Jobs • We used to have lots of questions to which there were no answers. Now, with the computer, there are lots of answers to which we haven’t thought up questions. – Peter Ustinov • We’ve created life in our own image. – Stephen Hawking • What do we want our kids to do? Sweep up around Japanese computers? – Walter F. Mondale • What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself. – Steve Wozniak • When I was at college there were two things I vowed I’d never do. One was go to a funeral and the other was deal with computers. And then I ended up being a computer programmer in a morgue. – Patricia Cornwell • When I write a new draft, I don’t like to feel I’m tied to any previous version. That’s why I don’t use a computer to write. The text looks, on the screen, too much like a book. It’s not a book – it’s a bad first draft of something that could one day be a book. – Lauren Groff • Why is it that drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users? – Clifford Stoll • With both people and computers on the job, computer error can be more quickly tracked down and corrected by people and, conversely, human error can be more quickly corrected by computers. What it amounts to is that nothing serious can happen unless human error and computer error take place simultaneously. And that hardly ever happens. – Isaac Asimov • With the fight scenes, they would take a video camera and shoot alongside the camera so we would piece it together on the computer and had an extremely rough cut of what we were doing. – Kelly Hu • You couldn’t have fed the ’50s into a computer and come out with the ’60s. – Paul Kantner

Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots. ~ Victor Hugo
The only mistake in life is the lesson not learned. ~ Albert Einstein
If you’re not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you’re determined to learn, no one can stop you. ~ Unknown

Believe nothing no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and common sense. ~ Buddha
Whenever something negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it. ~ Eckhart Tolle
Open minds lead to open doors. ~ Unknown
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. ~ Albert Einstein
Be thankful when you don’t know something for it gives you the opportunity to learn. ~ Unknown
Being right is highly overrated. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. ~ Unknown
The person who confesses ignorance shows it once; the person who conceals it, shows it many times. ~ Proverb
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. ~ Socrates
Any fool can know. The point is to understand. ~ Albert Einstein
I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn’t know. ~ Mark Twain
I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better. ~ Maya Angelou
No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire. ~ L. Frank Baum
The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. ~ John Locke
Great minds are always feared by lesser minds. ~ Dan Brown
Confidence is ignorance. If you’re feeling cocky, it’s because there’s something you don’t know. ~ Eoin Colfer
I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think ~ Socrates

Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in. ~ Isaac Asimov
Write what you know. That should leave you with a lot of free time. ~ Howard Nemerov

Last night I lost the world, and gained the universe. ~ C. JoyBell C.
The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. ~ Anais Nin
I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me. ~ Hermann Hesse
I mean, you could claim that anything’s real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody’s proved it doesn’t exist! ~ J.K. Rowling
If you knew what was going to happen, if you knew everything that was going to happen next—if you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions—you’d be doomed. You’d be ruined as God. You’d be a stone. You’d never eat or drink or laugh or get out of bed in the morning. You’d never love anyone, ever again. You’d never dare to.” ~ Margaret Atwood
