“I fix my grandchildren's computers.” — Alan Alda Quote

I fix my grandchildren's computers.

Blind dates are treacherous. You don't know who this person is. You wonder, 'Should I call my grandma during coffee to get out of this?'

And I think belief is one of those things that comes to people in their own way. And just because I believe in something doesn't mean I think that you should.

It's very important for us to see that science is done by people, not just brains but whole human beings, and sometimes at great cost.

It's a funny feeling to work with people who you consider your colleagues and to realize that they actually are young enough to be your children.

What's happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves, as a species, can process.

I just like music that sounds like music. Not like machines and computers and things that you design to make things sound slick and perfect.

Technology is like water; it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers, it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.

Perhaps one day we will have machines that can cope with approximate task descriptions, but in the meantime, we have to be very prissy about how we tell computers to do things.
