Famous quotes containing the words computer and/or magazines:
“What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive.

—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)
“The most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
