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

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. – Tim Berners-Lee

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. – Tim Berners-Lee

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. – Jaron Lanier

Our lives sometimes depend on computers performing as predicted. – Philip Emeagwali

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. – Craig Bruce

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. – Kevin Kelly

With our work at Kazaa, we began seeing growing broadband connections and more powerful computers and more streaming multimedia, and we saw that the traditional way of communicating by phone no longer made a lot of sense. – Niklas Zennstrom

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build. – Steve Wozniak

At our computer club, we talked about it being a revolution. Computers were going to belong to everyone, and give us power, and free us from the people who owned computers and all that stuff. – Steve Wozniak

I take computers practically apart and put them back together. I have a supercomputer I built over the years out of different computers. – Jared Leto

Man-made computers are limited in their performance by finite processing speed and memory. So, too, the cosmic computer is limited in power by its age and the finite speed of light. – Paul Davies

From cell phones to computers, quality is improving and costs are shrinking as companies fight to offer the public the best product at the best price. But this philosophy is sadly missing from our health-care insurance system. – John Shadegg

To me, there is something superbly symbolic in the fact that an astronaut, sent up as assistant to a series of computers, found that he worked more accurately and more intelligently than they. Inside the capsule, man is still in charge. – Adlai Stevenson

One of the problems with computers, particularly for the older people, is they were befuddled by them, and the computers have gotten better. They have gotten easier to use. They have gotten less expensive. The software interfaces have made things a lot more accessible. – Steve Case

The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show, because usually when the computer breaks down once, that is the end of it for a long, long time. They do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired. – Major Owens

People assume that computers will do everything that humans do. Not good. People are different from each other and they are all really different from computers. – Eric Schmidt

Computers, like automobiles and airplanes, do only what people tell them to do. – Bill James
