Seth Shostak best Computers Quotes – “By 2020, most home computers will have the computing power of a human brain. That doesn’t mean that they are brains, but it means that in terms of raw processing, they can process bits as fast as a brain can. So the question is, how far behind that is the development of a machine that’s as smart as we are?”
Neil Gershenfeld best Computers Quotes – “Fungible goods in economics can be extended and traded. So, half as much grain is half as much useful, but half a baby or half a computer is less useful than a whole baby or a whole computer, and we’ve been trying to make computers that work that way.”
Tristram Stuart best Computers Quotes – “The manufacture and running of all the world’s computers, the toxicity of the hardware mountains that we currently dump on other countries; all this can be totted up on the environmental account of web-users and its authors.”
Mikko Hypponen best Computers Quotes – “There is a difference between the stuff that people put online themselves, like pictures and their trips and flights and meals they’ve eaten, than the stuff that they don’t realize is also going into foreign computers. Like, for example, copies of your emails or every single online search you ever do, ’cause all that is being recorded as well.”
Mikko Hypponen best Computers Quotes – “Everything is being run by computers. Everything is reliant on these computers working. We have become very reliant on Internet, on basic things like electricity, obviously, on computers working. And this really is something which creates completely new problems for us. We must have some way of continuing to work even if computers fail.”

Tyler Cowen best Computers Quotes – “There’s so much free material on the Internet you can learn from, and some people are pure self-starters: they pick up computers and teach themselves everything. Certainly there are millions of people like that. But at the same time, I think it’s a pretty small percentage of the population.”
Tyler Cowen best Computers Quotes – “When humans team up with computers to play chess, the humans who do best are not necessarily the strongest players. They’re the ones who are modest and who know when to listen to the computer. Often, what the human adds is knowledge of when the computer needs to look more deeply.”
Tyler Cowen best Computers Quotes – “I think a lot of people will be liberated from a lot of oppressive manufacturing jobs, or a lot of service jobs, because they’ll be done by computers. There’ll be the world’s best education available online and free.”
Tyler Cowen best Computers Quotes – “We’re seeing an enormous amount of global upward mobility that’s quite rapid and quite sudden, and undiscovered individuals have a chance – using the Internet, using computers – to prove themselves very quickly. So I think the mobility story will be a quite complicated one.”
Richard Dawkins best Computers Quotes – “The reason we personify things like cars and computers is that just as monkeys live in an arboreal world and moles live in an underground world and water striders live in a surface tension-dominated flatland, we live in a social world.”

Brian Acton best Computers Quotes – “Yes, I was a big math and computer geek, that’s true. I was driven by the scholastic side of things. For me, it was all about what I could do with math and computers.”
Clive Thompson best Computers Quotes – “More than any other modern tool, computers are a total mystery to their users. Most people never open them up to fix them or to see how they work.”
