Quote

People assume that computers will do everything that humans do. Not good. People are different from each other and they are all really different from computers.

Computers, like automobiles and airplanes, do only what people tell them to do.

I could never understand how to build a computer, but the best I could hope for is to understand the people that do.

Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.

Modern people are only willing to believe in their computers, while I believe in myself.

The future lies in designing and selling computers that people don't realize are computers at all.

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

Even though most people won't be directly involved with programming, everyone is affected by computers, so an educated person should have a good understanding of how computer hardware, software, and networks operate.

Computers have become more friendly, understandable, and lots of years and thought have been put into developing software to convince people that they want and need a computer.

People who are more than casually interested in computers should have at least some idea of what the underlying hardware is like. Otherwise the programs they write will be pretty weird.
