Computer quotes


For a long time it puzzled me how something so expensive, so leading edge, 
could be so useless, and then it occurred to me that a computer is a stupid
 machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer 
programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things.
 They are, in short, a perfect match. (Bill Bryson)


Just remember: you're not a "dummy," no matter what those computer books claim.
 The real dummies are the people who, though technically expert, couldn't 
'design hardware and software that's usable by normal consumers if their 
lives depended upon it. (Walter Mossberg)


The global village is not created by the motor car or even by the airplane.
 It’s created by instant electronic information movement. (Marshall Mcluhan)

Replicating assemblers and thinking machines pose basic threats to people 
and to life on Earth. Among the cognoscenti of nanotechnology, this threat 
has become known as the gray goo problem. (Eric Drexler)
