Sci-fi films are the epic films of the day because we can no longer put 10,000 extras in the scene – but we can draw thousands of aliens with computers. – William Shatner
Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn. – Steve Jobs
What’s happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves, as a species, can process. – Seth Lloyd
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image. – Stephen Hawking

When I write software, I know that it will fail, either due to my own mistake, or due to some other cause. – Wietse Venema
We could say we want the Web to reflect a vision of the world where everything is done democratically. To do that, we get computers to talk with each other in such a way as to promote that ideal. – Tim Berners-Lee

If computers remain far worse than us at image recognition, a certain over-confident combination of man and machine can elsewhere take inaccuracy to a whole new level. – Tom Chatfield

There’s no other major item most of us own that is as confusing, unpredictable and unreliable as our personal computers. – Walt Mossberg
The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it to a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people – as remarkable as the telephone. – Steve Jobs
People are mostly focused on defending the computers on the Internet, and there’s been surprisingly little attention to defending the Internet itself as a communications medium. – W. Daniel Hillis
