“Here are my strong reservations about the wave of computer networks. They isolate us from one another and cheapen the meaning of actual experience. They work against literacy and creativity. They undercut our schools and libraries.” SchoolStrongCreativityComputerLibraryWaveLiteracyReservationsUndercut Author:Clifford Stoll
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is notas efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain's strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.” HandsStrongMemoriesNumbersBrainInformationDesignComputerMassBuiltEfficientAccurateFlexibilityGraspingComputation Author:Jeremy Campbell

“There are times where I would keep three typewriters on a table, and I'd have three complete thoughts going. With computers, you make folders, files - I don't know about those things. I have sheaves of paper polluted with words and paragraphs. I found it a good tool for me. And it keeps your hands strong for guitar playing.” KnowsHandsThreeFoundStrongPaperComputerToolsTablesGuitarFilesParagraphTypewritersGuitar PlayingFolders Author:Eddie Vedder
“You have weak artificial intelligence, which is a robot or a computer system that follows a list of protocols and it's like yes/no answers that can be as complex as you want, and then you have strong A.I., which is basically like a human, like something that can think up a thought that's never been thought up or paint a painting or write a poem.” ThinkingWantWritingHumansStrongAnswersPaintingComputerWeakComplexesPaintListsArtificial IntelligenceArtificialRobotsLike SomethingProtocolComputer Systems Author:Neill Blomkamp
“I often feel like a dinosaur. I don't get the technology thing at all. I was on the Internet not long ago for Barnes and Noble, and people were ringing up from all over the world - Australia, Canada, France. I experienced it as an informal chat, which was pleasant, but I couldn't quite take it in. It had a strong element of unreality. I can't be bothered to switch to a computer at my age, though I might get along with e-mail, which sounds appealing.” PeopleWorldLongAgeStrongTechnologyInternetComputerBothered Author:Doris Lessing
“It's interesting that the greatest minds of computer science, the founding fathers, like Alan Turing and Claude Shannon and Norbert Wiener, they all looked at chess as the ultimate test. So they thought, "Oh, if a machine can play chess, and beat strong players, set aside a world champion, that would be the sign of a dawn of the AI era." With all due respect, they were wrong.” WorldMindFatherStrongInterestingPlayerComputerUltimateChessChampionComputer Science Author:Garry Kasparov
