What’s important is not just to develop the technology; it’s to develop the processes Picture Quote #1

The computer revolution is a revolution in the way we think and in the way we express what we think Picture Quote #1

We have also obtained a glimpse of another crucial idea about languages and program design. This is the approach of statified design, the notion that a complex system should be structured as a sequence of levels that are described using a sequence of languages. Each level is constructed by combining parts that are regarded as primitive at that level, and the parts constructed at each level are used as primitives at the next level. The language used at each level of a stratified design has primitives, means of combination, and means of abstraction appropriate to that level of detail Picture Quote #1

If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders Picture Quote #1

It is not that there is some magic technology. It is what are you going to do with it? Picture Quote #1
