The idea behind digital computers may be explained by saying that these machines are intended to carry out any operations which could be done by a human computer.

Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs.

Computing is becoming universal.

Technology has come such a long way and you could pretty much do everything what's called 'in the box'. It means that it never has to leave your computer.

We can make life in the computer. Granted, it's limited, but we have learned what it takes in order to actually construct it.

If you think about computing, there isn't just one way to compute, just like there's not just one way to move around. You can have shoes, you can have a car, you can have a bicycle, submarine, rocket, plane, train, glider, whatever. Because you have one doesn't mean you get rid of another one... But PCs continue to be important.

The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited.

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.

A computer can be a useful and indispensable tool. But if we allow it to devour our time with vain, unproductive, and sometimes destructive pursuits, it becomes an entangling net.

Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.
