Susan Wojcicki Quotes

People don't understand computers. Computers are magical boxes that do things. People believe what computers tell them.

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.

Programming is how we talk to the machines that are increasingly woven into our lives. If you aren't a programmer, you're like one of the unlettered people of the Middle Ages who were told what to think by the literate priesthood. We had a Renaissance when more people could read and write; we'll have another one when everyone programs.

I am thinking about something much more important than bombs. I am thinking about computers.

Today, there are industries employing hundreds of thousands of engineers creating artificial intelligence.

Whether you're looking at manufacturing and the use of robotics or the knowledge industries, they need computer programmers.

Software increasingly defines the world around us.

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.

In the emerging, highly programmed landscape ahead, you will either create the software or you will be the software. It's really that simple: Program, or be programmed. Choose the former, and you gain access to the control panel of civilization. Choose the latter, and it could be the last real choice you get to make.

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.

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

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'm really interested in the current tech world because of my brother Michael. Since we were little kids, in the 1970s, he was dealing with the first computers. He works for the government.

Google is already overflowing with incredibly creative bright groups already working on lots of the software problems of the world.

Computing technology started out as number-crunching.

I think computer science, by and large, is still stuck in the Modern age.

Technology has to be invented or adopted.

Computers do the calculating to allow people to transform the world.

The computer of today is really in its infancy.

The idea behind digital computers may be explained by saying that these machines are intended to carry out any operations which could be done by a human computer.
