“Scientists are used to debating with one another about the finer points of new research. But increasingly, they find themselves battling their televisions and computer screens, which transmit ever-more-heated rhetoric from politicians, pundits, and other public figures who misinterpret, misrepresent, and malign scientific results.” UsedResultsFiguresTelevisionPoliticianComputerResearchScientistScreensRhetoricTransmitPunditsPublic FiguresComputer Screen Author:Lewis M.

“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
“There's not much value to us attacking Chinese systems. We might take a few computers offline. We might take a factory offline.

“I didn’t like it [computer] when I first began using it. Where it’s helped me a lot is in nonfiction which is a kind of different process. You’ve got research, you’ve got your notes, You can block out what you want to work on for the next 10 pages and put it in another file, and then you can kind of carve it into shape” WantFirstsKindDifferentNextProcessFictionShapesComputerPagesResearchNotesWhat You WantBlockFilesNon Fiction Author:Joan Didion

“I begin with understanding the intentions of the story. That helps me to zero in. Then I gather research for each individual character and analyze the time period with comparisons to the figure and the facial structure. It helps to be comfortable with computers because the massive amount of research is kept electronically and shared with my staff this way. Very little is printed out. I work with an illustrator to come up with the proper silhouettes and details of the clothing from the time period to time period.

“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
