Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or data:
“A technical objection is the first refuge of a scoundrel.”
—Heywood Broun (1888–1939)
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
