Quotes About Computer

In nine months, a group of children left alone with a computer - in any language - would reach the same standard as an office secretary in the West.
~ Sugata Mitra

~ Bella Freud
We pretend that the brain is binary, like a computer. But it's not. It's completely holographic.
~ Jim Harrison
Once your computer is pretending to be a neural net, you get it to be able to do a particular task by just showing it a whole lot of examples.
~ Geoffrey Hinton
You can crank out Bitcoins on a PC, but it's an incredibly computer-intensive task, and it will keep getting harder as the number of Bitcoins in existence increases. Some people have pooled together hundreds of machines to 'mine' Bitcoins. Most folks, however, just buy them on an exchange.
~ Daniel Lyons
One can think of any given axiom system as being like a computer with a certain limited amount of memory or processing power. One could switch to a computer with even more storage, but no matter how large an amount of storage space the computer has, there will still exist some tasks that are beyond its ability.
~ Terence Tao
I wanted to make an explicitly educational comic that taught readers the concepts I covered in my introductory programming class. That's what 'Secret Coders' is. It's both a fun story about a group of tweens who discover a secret coding school, and an explanation of some foundational ideas in computer science.
~ Gene Luen Yang
I write on a computer. On breaks, I'll make myself green tea. I don't want something too caffeinated. I guess I don't believe in chemical enhancement of my writing. Just slight, but nothing crazy.
~ Chang-Rae Lee
For every job you require a kind of mindset. To be a teacher one should be knowledgeable. To be a software engineer you should know computer data system analysis, computer language etc. So, my mindset is not aligned with politics.
~ Sudha Murty
I think teaching keeps me honest because if I'm up in front of a class talking about what I think is important about fiction while knowing I myself have just failed to do that hours earlier at my computer - it's a good and humbling reminder.
~ Aimee Bender
Man will have replicated his own intelligence not when he teaches a computer to reason but when he teaches a computer to have a nagging feeling in its circuits.
~ Robert Brault
The rules of software are the same today as they were in 1946, when Alan Turing wrote the very first code that would execute in an electronic computer.
~ Robert C. Martin
A computer program is a detailed description of the policy by which inputs are transformed into outputs.
~ Robert C. Martin
You know, my first three or four drafts, you can see, are on legal pads in long hand. And then I go to a typewriter, and I know everybody's switching to a computer. And I'm sort of laughed at.
~ Robert Caro
The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha—which is to demean oneself.
~ Robert M. Pirsig
I just think that their flight from and hatred of technology is self-defeating. The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha—which is to demean oneself. That is what I want to talk about in this Chautauqua.

~ Robert T. Kiyosaki
Music had played suddenly through the cabin, complex and lovely, rich in minor tones, like the sad call of a sex-maddened computer. Nessus whistled.
~ Larry Niven
Real programmers can write assembly code in any language.
~ Larry Wall
Back home again, Theodosia had fixed herself a cup of chamomile tea, ideal for jangled nerves or those times when sleep proves elusive. Then she sat down in front of her computer for a quick bit of Internet research.
~ Laura Childs
Coding is today's language of creativity. All our children deserve a chance to become creators instead consumers of computer science.
~ Maria Klawe
If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural phenomena that can occur.
~ Rudy Rucker
Nowadays we can do computer experiments using Mathematica, and even solve a system of 42 equations. This offers another route to knowledge, rather than mere ideas.
~ John Forbes Nash
