“You can sit behind your computer and listen to music via a program or from the Internet and also watch performances on the Internet. There's motivation to sit at home. You don't have to get dressed up, or be social and for those old enough you don't risk DUI charges by drinking at home at the computer.” EnoughHomeMotivationSocialBehindsWatchesRiskInternetComputerProgramPerformancesDrinkingListening To MusicDressed UpDui Author:Steve Mahoney
“The other thing is that when people mention computers - and I'm pretty much the same - they find it hard to comprehend that there's a performance there. They look at it as something that's just been made by a computer but in a way the difference is that when you make a normal film - and I'm simplifying it here - you put on the make-up and you put the scenery in before you start shooting, but with this you still perform in the same way but then you put the make-up on after, along with the costumes and scenery.” PeopleWayLooksMadeStillsHardFilmDifferencesNormalComputerPerformancesShootingCostumesScenery Author:Ray Winstone
“Chess computers do not sweat during time pressure and commit costly blunders. Furthermore, the strength of these programs (over and above their faultless recall processes) lies in their capacity to make relatively superficial tactical decisions with incredible speed. Positional values, long-range strategy, aesthetic judgment, and political astuteness remain staples of human performance, man vs. machine results in the foreseeable future to the contrary not withstanding.” MenHumansLongPoliticalLyingValuesProcessDecisionResultsJudgmentComputerCapacityProgramMachinesPerformancesPressureStrategyIncrediblesSpeedContraryChessCommitRangeSweatAestheticRecallsSuperficialBlundersStaplesTacticalWithstanding Author:Ira Carmen
“I remember you would record a guitar part, and we would have to sit there for 15 or 20 minutes waiting for the computer to process it. You'd see the little wheel spinning on the computer, and you'd be praying that the hard drive didn't crash and you didn't lose the performance.” LittlesHardRememberWaitingProcessLosesRecordsMinutesPrayingComputerPerformancesGuitarWheelsCrashSpinningRemember YouRemembers You Author:Beck
“The changes are coming so quickly it's been difficult for workers to retrain themselves and for entrepreneurs to figure out where the next opportunities may be. The catalyst is something called computer learning or artificial intelligence - the ability to feed massive amounts of data into supercomputers and program them to teach themselves and improve their performance.” MayNextOpportunityDifficultAbilityTeachFiguresAmountComputerProgramPerformancesEntrepreneurWorkersDataMassiveArtificial IntelligenceArtificialCatalystSupercomputers Author:Andrew McAfee
“Rarely is it possible to study all of the instructions to a game before beginning to play, or to memorize the manual before turning on the computer. The excitement of improvisation lies not only in the risk of being involved but in the new ideas, as heady as the adrenaline of performance, that seems to come from nowhere.” IdeasPlaySeemsLyingGamesStudyRiskInvolvedComputerPerformancesExcitementInstructionNew IdeasImprovisationAdrenalineManuals Author:Mary Catherine Bateson
