Word Processors

Famous quotes containing the words word and/or processors:

    A word perhaps loud spoken you may get,
    Or hear our feet when heavily they tread;
    But he who speaks, or him who’s spoken to,
    Must both remain as strangers still to you.
    Jones Very (1831–1880)

    The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.
