Computers

The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music.

Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.

We are all robots when uncritically involved with our technologies.

The wheel is an extension of the foot; the book is an extension of the eye; clothing, an extension of the skin; electric circuitry, an extension of the central nervous system. Media, by altering the environment, invoke in us unique ratios of sense perceptions. The extension of any one sense alters the way we think and act — the way we perceive the world.

The computer is by all odds the most extraordinary of all the technological clothing ever devised by man, since it is the extension of our central nervous system.
