Michael Dell Quotes

Computing technology started out as number-crunching.

A lot of people... use a calculator!

The world got enamored with smartphones and tablets, but what's interesting is those devices don't do everything that needs to be done. Three-D printing, virtual-reality computing, robotics are all controlled by PCs.

I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.

An algorithm must be seen to be believed.

Ambient Devices is what I call part of the Third Wave of Internet devices.

Technology just means information technology.

The truth of Moore's law has made remarkable things possible. On the software side, I think natural user interfaces in all their forms are equally significant.

We're having the first computer-generated comic strip in the United States.

Computers and computing are all around us. Some computing is highly visible, like your laptop. But this is only part of a computing iceberg. A lot more lies hidden below the surface. We don't see and usually don't think about the computers inside appliances, cars, airplanes, cameras, smartphones, GPS navigators and games.

The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers.

Something else has happened with computers.

I've always been at the intersection of computers and whatever they can revolutionize.

I ultimately got into robotics because for me, it was the best way to study intelligence.

Technology is fascinating.

Robots are interesting because they exist as a real technology that you can really study - you can get a degree in robotics - and they also have all this pop-culture real estate that they take up in people's minds.

Algorithm

Seeing there is nothing that is so troublesome to mathematical practice, nor that doth more molest and hinder calculators, than the multiplications, divisions, square and cubical extractions of great numbers.... I began therefore to consider in my mind by what certain and ready art I might remove those hindrances.

You could say I was too lazy to calculate, so I invented the computer.

I can do lightning mathematics quicker than somebody can do them on a calculator.

As for ourselves, we love our machines.

Virtual reality, all the A.I. work we do, all the robotics work we do - we're as close to realizing science fiction as it gets.

Software increasingly defines the world around us.

We see incredible opportunity to solve some of the biggest social challenges we have by combining high-performance computing and AI - such as climate change and more.
