Eugene Jarvis Quotes

I thank God for not making me a computer scientist.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Dad was very into electronics, robotics and computers, so I was interested in what he was doing.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Every technology that can improve the human condition could harm the human condition. Someone evil could program a robot to hurt people.

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.

I'm pretty into computers. I used to be a lot more into it when I was younger.

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time. I think that what we should have is computer science in the future - and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists, to experts in coding and to young people about.

It's going to be interesting to see how society deals with artificial intelligence, but it will definitely be cool.

Robotics is very interdisciplinary, and so, except at a very few colleges, there is not a major that is exactly fitted to robotics.

I like computers as a tool. I like them as an instrument. I think they're just pretty.
