More From Alan Perlis
- "A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God."
- "I think it is inevitable that people program poorly. Training will not substantially help matters. We have to learn to live with it."
- "It goes against the grain of modern education to teach students to program. What fun is there to making plans, acquiring discipline, organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail, and learning to be self critical."
More In Science
- "Science fiction is no more written for scientists that ghost stories are written for ghosts."― Brian Aldiss
- "I was a daydreamer, and there is a lot of history and geography and science I missed out on because I was in my head. And I regret that."― Gillian Anderson
- "But basically what I like are the possibilities, and the fantasy element of the show. Not science fantasy so much, but fantasy, the humanistic elements and how people relate when they’re in a dire situation or comedic situation."― Fisher Stevens
