Popular quotes about Computers! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 35
The idea of having more technology solving this idea of hyperactive lifestyle is not really the mainstream problem. I think the real innovation thatโs going to be rewarded will be on things like, letโs convert our computers from being tools to being companions. Letโs convert our computers from being utilitarian to being enlightening. These are human needs.
Horace DediuComputers are here to stay. It is a major challenge for the future to use computers efficiently in combinatorics without losing its special appeal.
Noga AlonA number of people who are interested in computers in this lifetime programmed computers in Atlantis.
Frederick LenzWe're training kids to do what computers do, which is spit back facts. And computers are always going to be better than human beings at that. But what they're not going to be better at is being social, navigating relationships, being citizens in a community. So we need to change the whole definition of what success in school, and out of school, means.
Kathy Hirsh-PasekEvery ISP is being attacked, maliciously both from in the United States and outside of the United States, by those who want to invade people's privacy. But more importantly they want to take control of computers, they want to hack them, they want to steal information.
Darrell IssaA mismatched outfit, a slightly defective denture, an exquisite mediocrity of the soul-those are the details that make a woman real, alive. The women you see on posters or in fashion magazines-the ones all the women try to imitate nowadays-how can they be attractive? They have no reality of their own; they're just the sum of a set of abstract rules. They aren't born of human bodies; they hatch ready-made from the computers." ~The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

Michel HazanaviciusI've been programming computers since elementary school, where they taught us, and I stuck with computer science through high school and college.
Masi OkaWhat would the world be like if you had to develop a power yourself before you could use it? Just as a silly example: How would the comment section on YouTube change if, to use it, you had to have the schooling necessary to have a basic understanding of how computers and the internet work? More seriously, would anyone smart enough to know how to design and build a tank, or a laser guided anti-aircraft missile, or a computer and video editing software be stupid enough to join ISIS? In fact, if such knowledge was requiredโwould it even be possible for there to be standing armies?
John C. WrightSociety needs people who...know how to be compassionate and honest...Societ y needs all kinds of skills that are not just cognitive; they're emotional, they're affectional. You can't run the society on data and computers alone.
Alvin TofflerI don't like this world. I definitely do not like it. The society in which I live disgusts me; advertising sickens me; computers make me puke.
Michel HouellebecqWe're progressing on a lot of fronts, but on the aspect of your responsibility - just the very basics of how we treat each other - before we learn mathematics and computers and science in school, and languages and all of this, the basis of it: What is it to be a human? What responsibility do you have?

Austin GrossmanYou really feel like you're on the cutting edge and you know you are because all the camera equipment you take for granted doesn't exist for 3-D. So all the cranes with all the stabilized heads, they don't work on 3-D because they're all built for lightweight camera packages. As soon as you kind of put two cameras together and all the other crap that they need and the cabling to go back to the computers, we've literally, the cranes on these movies, they break after a couple of days.
Paul W. S. AndersonTechnology has moved away from sharing and toward ownership. This suits software and hardware companies just fine: They create new, bloated programs that require more disk space and processing power. We buy bigger, faster computers, which then require more complex operating systems, and so on.
Douglas RushkoffBe afraid of the Chinese. I mean, the Chinese shoot down satellites in space; they hack into Google's computers; the Osama bin Laden people can't make their underwear blow up.
Francis FukuyamaI know so many people who actually just watch television on their computers now and don't even really watch their TV anymore.
Busy PhilippsYou can involve yourself in electronics, computers, puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.
Gary ColemanSecurity 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 GatesThe breakup of Bell laid the foundation for every important communications revolution since the 1980s onward.

Tim WuWe have an epidemic of sexual predators following our children, whether it be on the computers, whether it be in our public parks, whether it be in the workplace, or even our schools.
Jon PorterEvolution is the only thing that exists through time. That is true for computers, or people, or a business. We tend to see things in a static way, and so you see what is. Even in looking at ourselves, what we really are is essentially vessels for our DNA that keeps evolving through time. So seeing that and embracing that reality, and thinking of everything as kind of this perpetual motion machine in which you embrace reality - you don't wish it was different. You realize that it's your puzzle to interact with. You interact with it well, you evolve yourself.
Ray DalioYou simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.
Timothy LearyComputers are the central access; information processing based on a spiral network, similar to that which is the chaos of existence itself, the analysis of systems, the interlocking lokas.
Frederick LenzThis is an ongoing threat from a variety of sources around the world. And actually I think it works both ways.

Rand PaulComputers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.

Larry PageI wouldn't call myself a geek, but I do sometimes teach Mommy and Daddy stuff about computers. And I do watch TV, but only informative programmes like the news and documentaries.
Adora SvitakComputers are so deeply stupid. What bother me most when they talk about technology is they don't realize how much more exciting their minds are. That machine is stupid. And boring. It does just a few things and then it'll crash. People think, 'I am on the Net, I am in touch with the world'. Wrong! The point is how we work, not how machines work.
Laurie AndersonThe person who wins the Nobel Prize is not the person who read the most journal articles and took the most notes on them. It's the person who knew what to look for. And cultivating that capacity to seek what's significant, always willing to question whether you're on the right track - that's what education is going to be about, whether it's using computers and the Internet, or pencil and paper, or books.
Noam Chomsky
