“When I came back from Pakistan, I wanted to take computer classes nearby. I asked my brother. I was in my home, cooking for my family, and all our relatives and guests. But I said, "I want to live my life as a woman, but I want to study." But, he told me, "Just study at home, you don't need to go out." He said, "If you go to the courses, what will our relatives say? They will lose respect for us." They told me, "We know you're feeling different, but we cannot do anything about it."” IfsKnowsWantNeedsSaidDifferentFeelingsHomeWantedCoursesLosesClassStudyBrotherComputerMy FamilyCookingMy BrotherGuestsLiving My LifePakistanHome Cooking Author:Malina Suliman

“The origins and travels of our purchases remain matters of indifference, although to the more imaginative at least a slight dampness at the bottom of a carton, or an obscure code printed along a computer cable, may hint at processes of manufacture and transport nobler and more mysterious, more worthy of wonder and study, than the very goods themselves.” MayMatterProcessWonderStudyComputerBottomVery GoodWorthyMysteriousCodeIndifferenceGoodsObscureImaginativeCablesPrintedHintsTransport Author:Alain de Botton

“My monetary studies have led me to the conclusion that central banks could profitably be replaced by computers geared to provide a steady rate of growth in the quantity of money. Fortunately for me personally, and for a select group of fellow economists, that conclusion has had no practical impact… else there would have been no Central Bank of Sweden to have established the award [Nobel Prize] I am honoured to receive.” Has BeensStudyComputerImpactPracticalsConclusionPrizeAwardsReplacedHonoredNobelMonetaryNobel PrizeSwedenCentral Banks Author:Milton Friedman
“Steve Jobs did not start started Apple as a scam. But he understood early on the power of marketing. The idea of the computer as a bicycle for the human mind - I think that was something he believed. He believed in making people comfortable with these machines, which is why he spent so much time thinking about how to design them a certain way, how to make them so user-friendly and interactive, and why he spent so much time studying the Zeitgeist.” PeopleThinkingWayMindHumansIdeasJobsCertainStudyDesignComfortableComputerUnderstoodMachinesMarketingApplesFriendlyHuman MindUsersBicycleInteractiveScamsZeitgeistUser Friendly Author:Alex Gibney
