Computer Quotes

Imagine if these computer geeks who are running baseball now were allowed to run a war? They’d be telling our soldiers: ‘That’s enough. You’ve fired too many bullets from your rifle this week!’ Picture Quote #1

As computers have become more powerful, computer graphics have advanced to the point where it’s possible to create photo-realistic images. The bottleneck wasn’t, ‘How do we make pixels prettier?’ It was, ‘How do we engage with them more?’ Picture Quote #1

I don’t know of any case that involves computer hacking where there were multiple defendants charged where there wasn’t an informant on the case Picture Quote #1

I started with CB radio, ham radio, and eventually went into computers. And I was just fascinated with it. And back then, when I was in school, computer hacking was encouraged. It was an encouraged activity. In fact, I remember one of the projects my teacher gave me was writing a log-in simulator Picture Quote #1

Celebrities, make it harder for hackers to get nude pics of you from your computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on the computer Picture Quote #1

We live in a world where we’re all on computers and tablets and phones, all the time, so something as odd as computer hacking or a virus is really scary because it gets to the heart of our security Picture Quote #1

Even though most people won’t be directly involved with programming, everyone is affected by computers, so an educated person should have a good understanding of how computer hardware, software, and networks operate Picture Quote #1

Last time I was recording, I was trying to loop on the computer, but it’s really difficult because it’s really different from looping on hardware Picture Quote #1

One of the big first computers was called SAGE, which was a missile defense, the first missile-defense computer, which was, like, one of the first computers in the history of the world which got sold to the Department of Defense for, I don’t know, tens and tens of millions of dollars at the time Picture Quote #1

If you look through the history of wearables, I was named the father of wearable computing, or the world’s first cyborg. But the definition of wearable computing can be kind of fuzzy itself. Thousands of years ago, in China, people would wear an abacus around their neck - that, in one sense, was a wearable computer Picture Quote #1

Of all the inventions of humans, the computer is going to rank near or at the top as history unfolds and we look back. It is the most awesome tool that we have ever invented. I feel incredibly lucky to be at exactly the right place in Silicon Valley, at exactly the right time, historically, where this invention has taken form Picture Quote #1

When you apply computer science and machine learning to areas that haven’t had any innovation in 50 years, you can make rapid advances that seem really incredible Picture Quote #1

Originally, I was in both software and in online computing. The first innovation really was sort of at that time that we’re marrying the telephone and the computer so that people wouldn’t have to drive to the computer center. We didn’t have $1,000 computers Picture Quote #1

I’m a computer scientist by training. I’m also the author of three books, all of which endorse the use of biotechnology to improve the human condition. In the most recent of these, ‘The Infinite Resource,’ I talk about the power of innovation to save the world Picture Quote #1
