“Right now, computers, which are supposed to be our servant, are oppres...” — Jef Raskin Quote

“Right now, computers, which are supposed to be our servant, are oppressing us.”

“The system should treat all user input as sacred.”

“Users do not care about what is inside the box, as long as the box does what they need done.”

“Smartphones can relay patients' data to hospital computers in a continuous stream. Doctors can alter treatment regimens remotely, instead of making patients come in for a visit.”

“I think I was lucky to come of age in a place and time - the American South in the 1960s and '70s - when the machine hadn't completely taken over life. The natural world was still the world, and machines - TV, telephone, cars - were still more or less ancillary, and computers were unheard of in everyday life.”

“I've come to a view that humans will continue to do what we do well, and that computers will continue to do what they do very well, and the two will coexist, but in different spaces.”
