Ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi Quotes

I thank God for not making me a computer scientist.

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

Computer science inverts the normal. In normal science, you're given a world, and your job is to find out the rules. In computer science, you give the computer the rules, and it creates the world.

We're losing track of the vastness of the potential for computer science. We really have to revive the beautiful intellectual joy of it, as opposed to the business potential.

I got interested in computers and how they could be enslaved to the megalomaniac impulses of a teenager.

The word 'code' turns out to be a really important word for my book, 'The Information.' The genetic code is just one example. We talk now about coders, coding. Computer guys are coders. The stuff they write is code.

Computer Science is embarrassed by the computer.

That's one of those things about being a computer science major: Valentine's Day is just another day.

I did not grow up around computers, so technology was not a tool used every day in my household. I was drawn to computer science due to the creative nature of programming and the technology focus.

I grew up as a computer scientist, and I've always been fascinated by algorithms.

Computers add convenience to our everyday lives, but we are limited in what we can do with technology others have imagined. The ability for humans to teach machines entirely new things - coding - is nothing short of a superpower.

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

The computing world is very good at things that we are not. It is very good at memory.

An algorithm must be seen to be believed.

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.

No more than these machines need the mathematician know what he does.

When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night.

Software is a great combination between artistry and engineering.

Unlike us, machines do not have a 'nature' consistent across vast reaches of time. They are, at least to begin with, whatever we set in motion - with an inbuilt tendency towards the exponential.

I've been fascinated with technology since I was a boy banging around on my father's adding machine. Back then I'd type in an equation, the device made some cool noises, and out came my answer. I was hooked.

I've always been interested in technology, but specifically how we can use machines to engage the imagination. I started using computers when I was young and was fascinated by creating rules and instructions that allow a computer to engage in a dialogue with humans. The stories found in the data all around us can do just that.

I just write mechanical things.

A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God.

Computing technology started out as number-crunching.

When you learn to code, it opens up for you to learn many other things.
