Famous quotes containing the words computer and/or scientists:

    “The computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.”
    —Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)

    “Y’know scientists are funny. We probe and measure and dissect. Invent lights without heat, weigh a caterpillar’s eyebrow. But when it comes to really important things we’re as stupid as the caveman.... Like love. Makes the world go ‘round, but what do we know about it? Is it a fact? Is it chemistry? Electricity?”
    —Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Helen Dobson (Lori Nelson)
