“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is notas efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain's strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.” HandsStrongMemoriesNumbersBrainInformationDesignComputerMassBuiltEfficientAccurateFlexibilityGraspingComputation Author:Jeremy Campbell
“The real work of us mathematicians, from now until, roughly, fifty years from now, when computers won't need us anymore, is to make the transition from human-centric math to machine-centric math as smooth and efficient as possible.” NeedsYearsHumansRealComputerMachinesMathFiftyTransitionEfficientSmoothMathematicianReal Work Author:Doron Zeilberger

“Our goal is to turn solar electric technologies into a commodity business like computer chips, and make them ubiquitous in the built environment. I'd couple this with a huge commitment to fundamental research in nanostructure to goose the next generation of more efficient, cheaper, dematerialized cells. And if I'm truly czar, I'd emphasize silicon technologies, as that approach is the one least likely to encounter material constraints in supplying an explosive global demand.” IfsTurnsNextGoalTechnologyEnvironmentGenerationsMaterialsHugeCoupleDemandComputerApproachResearchCommitmentBuiltFundamentalsCellsEncountersEfficientElectricCommodityChipsNext GenerationConstraintsCheaperGeeseExplosivesSiliconCzarsBuilt Environment Author:Denis Hayes
“I'm not that particularly talented in terms of making anything or - I'm not technically efficient. I certainly don't know how to draw very well or paint, and I'm not good with computers. But I think the thing that I'm good at is willing something into life, no matter what. I do what it takes to get it done.” ThinkingKnowsWellsMatterDoneTermKnow HowWillingComputerDrawsNo Matter WhatPaintEfficientGet It Done Author:Gregory Crewdson
