“Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers - organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative - if we don't solve these security problems, then people will hold back.” PeopleIfsProblemAbleCreativityCreativeSecurityComputerExcitingSolvePrioritiesStayingTouchingBe CreativeExciting ThingsTop Priorities Author:Bill Gates
“In the field of Artificial Intelligence there is no more iconic and controversial milestone than the Turing Test, when a computer convinces a sufficient number of interrogators into believing that it is not a machine but rather is a human. It is fitting that such an important landmark has been reached at the Royal Society in London, the home of British Science and the scene of many great advances in human understanding over the centuries. This milestone will go down in history as one of the most exciting.” BelieveHumansHas BeensImportantHomeUnderstandingNumbersCenturyFieldsSceneComputerTestsMachinesExcitingBritishLondonSufficientConvinceArtificial IntelligenceArtificialRoyalControversialFittingIconicMilestoneLandmarks Author:Kevin Warwick

“The research reported on in our book "A=B", has moved a whole active field of mathematics from the province of human thought to the realm of computer-fodder. It is quite exciting to think about what other fields of pure mathematics, hitherto thought to be reserved to human intelligence, might be moved to that realm next. The goal is to put ourselves out of business completely, and the work is well underway.” ThinkingHumansWellsBookWholeMightScienceNextGoalFieldsPureComputerResearchExcitingMathematicsMovedActiveRealmsReservedProvincesHuman ThoughtHuman IntelligenceFodder Author:Herbert Wilf
“In physics, one of the most exciting areas is in nanotech. With computers exhausting the power of silicon, Silicon Valley could become a Rust Belt, unless we can find replacements, such as quantum computers and molecular computers. To be a leader in any field, one has to have a great imagination. Sure, we have to know the basics and fundamentals. But beyond that, we have to let our imagination soar.” KnowsImaginationLeaderFieldsComputerAreasExcitingFundamentalsPhysicsValleysQuantumSoarBeltsExhaustingBasicsRustSiliconReplacementsSilicon ValleyGreat Imagination Author:Michio Kaku
“For thirty years most interface design, and most comptuer design, has been headed down the path of the "dramatic" machine. Its highest idea is to make a computer so exciting, so wonderful, so interesting, that we never want to be without it. A less-traveled path I call the "invisible"; its highest idea is to make a computer so imbedded, so fitting, so natural, that we use it without even thinking about it.” ThinkingWantYearsHas BeensIdeasUseNaturalInterestingPathWonderfulDesignComputerHighestMachinesExcitingInvisibleDramaticThirtyTraveledFittingThirty YearsInterfaces Author:Mark Weiser

“I've been working in computer animation for 25 years. I'm obviously a devotee of the technology. I just think it's the one aspect of the medium that's going to continue to revolutionize the filmmaking. It's constantly changing and it's constantly opening up new possibilities. The technology is evolving where 2-D animation was ultimately limited by how long you could pay how many people to make a movie. I mean computers, not that it's in anyway a labor saving device, but it promises to open up exciting new technical possibilites.” PeopleThinkingMeanLongTechnologyPossibilityPromiseComputerLaborExcitingEvolveFilmmakingAnimation Author:Chris Wedge
