Computer

Quotes



The one thing computers have done is let us make bigger mistakes. We have to be careful not to depend on our machines.

Quoted on Wired (1999)
Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living.

Made in America (1992)
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.
You must accept that if the computer is a tool, it is the job of the tool user to know what to use it for.

Quoted in Techno Vision (C. B. Wang; 1994)
