great Quotations…Like to Read…coooool
There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.
Ken Olsen, President, Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977
He advocated terminals in homes instead of computers, and computers would hold software in mainframes elsewhere… kind of like “cloud” computing.
Thanks this made me laugh! The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.
That made me laugh for sure, Nice post
I love how the quote about computers being born to fix non – existent problems is worded and arranged – it reads “The computer was born to solve problems that did not exist before Bill Gates” as though he is a problem in and of himself. Whoever compiled that image is my new hero.
Amen, brothers!
All are so true, especially the programming is like sex one.
i thought it was “if you make something even an idiot can use, only an idiot would want to use it”
Hehe, there are some funny ones and some thoughful, too. Strange, that most artists as Picasso are anti-technology as the do manual and physical art. Computers could be used in art too, to create your imagination.
Good stuff. I think I’m going to subscribe to your blog.
Yeah please never insult computers on stumbleupon again kthx
Thanks that was a tonic!
Very good post most of them true too
