Andy Warhol Quotes

I'm a machine man, and I head a machine.

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

I thank God for not making me a computer scientist.

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.

With the advent of computing, human invention crossed a threshold into a world different from everything that came before. The computer is the universal machine almost by definition, machine-of-all-trades, capable of accomplishing or simulating just about any task that can be logically defined.

I'm kind of a robot in a way. Or a Tron.

Until computers and robots make quantum advances, they basically remain adding machines: capable only of doing things in which all the variables are controlled and predictable.

Once computers can program, they basically take over technological progress because already, today, the majority of technological progress is run by software, by programming.

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.

And I think it's likely that there will be Data's out there one day. I hope so, if there are, that they all look exactly like me!

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.

Robots... I think that is a hot topic.

Technology is making gestures precise and brutal, and with them men.

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

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

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 particularly felt that my job in management was safe from the incursion of machines with friendly faces painted on the front of their heads, or whatever you call the metal constructions atop their shoulders, if those are indeed shoulders.

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 just write mechanical things.

If we are machines, then in principle at least, we should be able to build machines out of other stuff, which are just as alive as we are.

Computing technology started out as number-crunching.

Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools.
