The great advance of personal computers was not the computing power per se but the fact that it brought it right to your face that you had control over it that were confronted with it and could steer it.

When I launched the development of the GNU system I explicitly said the purpose of developing this system is so we can use our computers and have freedom thus if you use some other free system instead but you have freedom then it's a success. It's not popularity for our code but it's success for our goal.

Yeah computers are going to take over the programming business because they have become so fast recently that they can solve the Halting Problem in five seconds flat.

I look like a geeky hacker but I don't know anything about computers.

The next major explosion is going to be when genetics and computers come together. I'm talking about an organic computer - about biological substances that can function like a semiconductor.

Our lives sometimes depend on computers performing as predicted.

I am of the very last generation who didn't have computers at school. As we grow old we'll become something of an aberration.

Musicians and journalists are the canaries in the coalmine but eventually as computers get more and more powerful it will kill off all middle-class professions.

It appears that the media filters we carry in our heads are like computers: they've been forced to get faster in order to keep up with the demands our high-speed society puts on them.

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.

The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one in which information is given well-defined meaning better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

I wish people would turn off their computers go outside talk to people touch people lick people enjoy each other's company and smell each other on the rump.

The technological revolution at home makes it much easier for computers to do our work.

It always helps to be a good programmer. It is important to like computers and to be able to think of things people would want to do with their computers.

Keep in mind that there are computers that do touch things up. Like when I got a hold of the poster for 'Gold Diggers ' I said: 'Hey wait a minute! Those aren't my teeth!'

In the past missionaries have traveled to far countries with the message of the gospel - with great hardship and often with the loss of life. In contrast we can reach millions instantly from the comfort of our homes by merely hitting the 'send' button on our computers or with iPads or phones.

I've always been at the intersection of computers and whatever they can revolutionize.
