More From Alan Perlis
- "A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God."

More In Computers
- "If I was designing a web site for elementary school children, I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools."― Mike Davidson
- "I was a ‘Duck Hunt’ and ‘Mario’ guy, and stuff like that. I was never technologically driven. I never had all the cool, new toys. I was the youngest child, I wasn’t the only child, so I wasn’t spoiled as a kid. And, we were on the farm, so we didn’t have a lot. Also, with computers, I’m not very good with them. I just check my email."― Garrett Hedlund
- "I got interested in computers and how they could be enslaved to the megalomaniac impulses of a teenager."― Eugene Jarvis
