Tim Harford best Computers Quotes – “Failure’s inevitable. It happens all the time in a complex economy. And how did the economy produce all these amazing things that we have around us, computers and cell phones and so on? Well, the process was trial and error.

Harbhajan Singh best Computers Quotes – “I am not a great fan of computers. I do watch videos and analyse which batsman is playing how. Batsmen can play different shots on different days.

Even the most fine-grained computation can only forecast British weather a few days ahead. There are limits to what can ever be learned about the future, however powerful computers become.”

Seth Shostak best Computers Quotes – “Our computers double in capability on time scales of only a few years. It’s hardly outrageous to believe that we will successfully develop thinking machines within a handful of decades, or at most a century or two. If that happens, these artificial sentients will quickly leave us behind.”
