“The traditional notion of an architect having a vision of a building and then drawing it either on paper or on a computer and then constructing it isn't really how architecture works and in reality the computer has a lot of influence on design.” RealityVisionInfluenceDesignBuildingPaperComputerNotionArchitectureDrawingTraditionalArchitect Author:Michael Hansmeyer
“When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.” YearsMadeWholeEarthFormYoungGenerationsComputerLateToolsCamerasFellowsNotionBrandsParksPoeticPublishingGoogle1960sNeatPublicationMy GenerationTypewritersIdealisticScissorsStanford UniversityDesktopPersonal ComputersPolaroidsAmazing JobDesktop Publishing Author:Steve Jobs

“There's this whole notion of being an Indian - the idea that "warrior" is a positive description of us [Indians as native Americans]. When an Indian guy does well, he's a warrior, even now. He could be a computer salesman, but if he does well, he's a warrior. I'm not a pacifist by any measure, but I'm also fully aware that the reasons I might go to war could be very dubious.” IfsWellsDoeIdeasWarReasonWholeMightGuyComputerNotionWarriorIndianNativeDescriptionNative AmericanSalesmanPacifistDubious Author:Sherman Alexie
“Even when I wrote Basic myself the day before I burned it into a computer I wasn't making design changes. I didn't have a testing team. I did all the testing myself. And there was no project methodology or schedule that, there was the notion of coming to a close means testing a lot at the end and making very few changes.” MeanEndsTeamDesignComputerProjectsNotionBurnedSchedulesTestingMethodology Author:Bill Gates

“In the future, every human will have a digital model of their body stored in computers. When someone needs a new shoe or a new bra or a new prosthesis or a new brace, s/he'll just fabricate it from the digital model themselves and then the device or article will be delivered to the home without even having to go to a retail store. The shoe, the bra, the brace, it'll be the person's apparel, the person's device, no one else's. It'll be exquisitely comfortable and functional. So this whole notion today where we have sizing to fit across humans is just utterly absurd.” NeedsHumansPersonsWholeHomeBodyTodayFitComfortableComputerModelsNotionShoesStoresAbsurdDigitalDevicesArticlesRetailBrasBracesApparelHuman WillFabricateNew Shoes Author:Hugh Herr
