Computer Quotes

Man is not a machine,... although man most certainly processes information, he does not necessarily process it in the way computers do. Computers and men are not species of the same genus.... No other organism, and certainly no computer, can be made to confront genuine human problems in human terms... However much intelligence computers may attain, now or in the future, theirs must always be an intelligence alien to genuine human problems and concerns Picture Quote #1

I pretty much drink a cup of coffee, write in my journal for a while, and then sit at a computer in my office and torture the keys. My one saving grace as a writer is that, if I’m having trouble with the novel I’m writing, I write something else, a poem or a short story. I try to avoid writer’s block by always writing something Picture Quote #1

Computers don’t create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist Picture Quote #1

When I start to play a game I try to forget about previous games and try to concentrate on this game. This game is now the most important to me. But of course I am not a computer and you cannot simply press a button, delete, and everything you want to forget disappears automatically. But if you want to play well, it’s important to concentrate on the now Picture Quote #1

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can’t replace the magic of four people in a room playing Picture Quote #1

To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable Picture Quote #1

I’ve noticed that the people who started on film still have the ability to see the person in front of them. Whereas for a lot of photographers who have only ever worked in digital, the relationship between the photographer and the person who they’re taking a picture of sort of doesn’t exist anymore. They’re looking at a computer screen as opposed to the person Picture Quote #1

What is childhood without stories? And how will children fall in love with stories without bookstores? You can’t get that from a computer Picture Quote #1

The most complex object in the known universe: brain, only uses 20 watts of power. It would require a nuclear power plant to energize a computer the size of a city block to mimic your brain, and your brain does it with just 20 watts. So if someone calls you a dim bulb, that’s a compliment Picture Quote #1

You know, I’m really bad on the computer. I’m really lame, man. I read and hang out with my kids. I’ve turned into a five year old Picture Quote #1

Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements Picture Quote #1

I love the writing. I love the idea of typing and seeing it on the computer and printing it out myself and, you know, moving sentences around. I like that Picture Quote #1

It is infinitely more useful for a child to hear a story told by a person than by computer. Because the greatest part of the learning experience lies not in the particular words of the story but in the involvement with the individual reading it Picture Quote #1

Every computer divides itself into its hardware and its software, the machine host to its algorithm, the human being to his mind. It is hardly surprising that men and women have done what computers now do long before computers could do anything at all. The dissociation between mind and matter in men and machines is very striking; it suggests that almost any stable and reliable organization of material objects can execute an algorithm and so come to command some form of intelligence Picture Quote #1

What is commonly overlooked in using the computer is the fact that the central goal of design is still to obviate failure, and thus it is critical to identify exactly how a structure may fail. The computer cannot do this by itself Picture Quote #1

More than sixty years ago, mathematical logicians, by defining precisely the concept of an algorithm, gave content to the ancient human idea of an effective calculation. Their definitions led to the creation of the digital computer, an interesting example of thought bending matter to its ends Picture Quote #1

I really like to write, so I can just relax and think about things and realize things and then try to express it on my computer Picture Quote #1

Children don’t run around outside as much as they did. They sit in front of computer games Picture Quote #1

One of our big goals in search is to make search that really understands exactly what you want, understands everything in the world. As computer scientists, we call that artificial intelligence Picture Quote #1

Computing is kind of a mess. Your computer doesn’t know where you are. It doesn’t know what you’re doing. It doesn’t know what you know Picture Quote #1

When you write a program, think of it primarily as a work of literature. You’re trying to write something that human beings are going to read. Don’t think of it primarily as something a computer is going to follow. The more effective you are at making your program readable, the more effective it’s going to be: You’ll understand it today, you’ll understand it next week, and your successors who are going to maintain and modify it will understand it Picture Quote #1

I still find the best way to understand a hospitalized patient is not by staring at the computer screen but by going to see the patient; it’s only at the bedside that I can figure out what is important Picture Quote #1

I know of no person or group that is taking nearly adequate advantage of the graphical potentialities of the computer Picture Quote #1

Perhaps writers should never be allowed to get together in a workplace context. It’s not like studying computer science, after all. The emotions are at large, and are shared and are questioned. There is a vulnerability Picture Quote #1

Allowing the computer to do one thing is only boring if you don’t use the time that the computer saves you to do something else Picture Quote #1

You can wear ruffles; you can be a jock, and you can still be a great computer scientist, or a great technologist, or a great product designer Picture Quote #1

We’ve seen computers play chess and beat grand masters. We’ve seen computers drive a car across a desert. But interestingly, playing chess is easy, but having a conversation about nothing is really difficult for a computer Picture Quote #1

One might say the computer is being used to program the child. In my vision, the child programs the computer, and in doing so, both acquires a sense of mastery over a piece of the most modern and powerful technology and establishes an intense contact with some of the deepest ideas from science, from mathematics, and from the art of intellectual model building Picture Quote #1

Owning a computer without programming is like having a kitchen and using only the microwave oven Picture Quote #1

When I was young I was very interested in science and technology, and my dad brought home the first computer. I played pac man and I was hooked! By learning to create technology, girls learn to speak up Picture Quote #1
