“The life-efficiency and adaptability of the computer must be questioned. Its judicious use depends upon the availability of its human employers quite literally to keep their own heads, not merely to scrutinize the programming but to reserve for themselves the right of ultimate decision. No automatic system can be intelligently run byautomatonsor by people who dare not assert human intuition, human autonomy, human purpose.” PeopleHumansUseRunningPurposeDecisionDependsComputerUltimateDareIntuitionProgrammingReservesEfficiencyAutonomyEmployersAdaptabilityAvailabilityScrutinize Author:Lewis Mumford
“Conventional wisdom, fooled by our misleading "physical intuition", is that the real world is "continuous", and that discrete models are necessary evils for approximating the "real" world, due to the innate discreteness of the digital computer.” WorldRealEvilComputerModelsIntuitionDuesDigitalReal WorldConventionalInnateMisleadFooledConventional WisdomNecessary EvilDiscrete Author:Doron Zeilberger
“For most problems found in mathematics textbooks, mathematical reasoning is quite useful. But how often do people find textbook problems in real life? At work or in daily life, factors other than strict reasoning are often more important. Sometimes intuition and instinct provide better guides; sometimes computer simulations are more convenient or more reliable; sometimes rules of thumb or back-of-the-envelope estimates are all that is needed.” PeopleImportantRealSometimesProblemFoundNeededComputerMathematicsInstinctIntuitionGuidesReal LifeFactorsMathematicalReasoningDaily LifeStrictConvenientThumbsFacts Of LifeTextbooksEnvelopesSimulation Author:Lynn Steen
“What distinguishes a human being from a computer? The ability to add up numbers? The ability to understand language? The ability to be logical? It is, of course, none of the above. It is the ability to play. Computers cannot have fun. They cannot fantasize. They cannot dream, they cannot experience emotion or summon intuition. These rare, precious qualities come naturally to every child on this earth yet they tend to be seen, by well meaning adults, as faults, foibles and failings. In pushing tiny toddlers to 'perform', we rob them of the ability to imagine.” HumansWellsChildrenPlayDreamEarthCoursesLanguageFunHuman BeingsAbilityNumbersEmotionQualityImagineFailingComputerAdultsAddFaultsIntuitionTinyHaving FunPushingLogicalToddlerFoibles Author:Jonathan Cainer
“Graphic design, which evokes the symmetria of Vituvius, the dynamic symmetry of Hambidge, the asymmetry of Mondrian; which is a good gestalt, generated by intuition or by computer, by invention or by a system of coordinates, is not good design if it does not communicate.” IfsDoeDesignComputerCommunicateIntuitionInventionGraphicEvokeGraphic DesignSymmetryGood DesignCoordinatesGestaltGraphic Design InspirationAsymmetry Author:Paul Rand
