Computers absolutely changed my life. Before I had a computer, I had never written one thing. Not one thing. I'm a very bad speller and I was embarrassed by that. When I would type, the little mistakes would make me nutty, and I would never edit anything.

Computers allow us to squeeze the most out of everything, whether it's Google looking up things, so I guess that tends to make us a little lazy about reading books and doing things the hard way to understand how those things work.
‐‐ Buzz Aldrin
Computers and computing are all around us. Some computing is highly visible, like your laptop. But this is only part of a computing iceberg. A lot more lies hidden below the surface. We don't see and usually don't think about the computers inside appliances, cars, airplanes, cameras, smartphones, GPS navigators and games.

Computers and electronic music are not the opposite of the warm human music. It's exactly the same.
‐‐ Bill Laswell
Computers and the Internet have made it really easy to rant. It's made everyone overly opinionated.
‐‐ Scott Weiland
Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs.
‐‐ Seth Lloyd
Computers are great tools, but they need to be applied to the physical world.
‐‐ Tony Fadell
Computers are hierarchical. We have a desktop and hierarchical files which have to mean everything.
‐‐ Ted Nelson
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
‐‐ Joseph Campbell
Computers are still technology because we are still wrestling with it: it's still being invented; we're still trying to work out how it works. There's a world of game interaction to come that you or I wouldn't recognise. It's time for the machines to disappear. The computer's got to disappear into all of the things we use.
‐‐ Douglas Adams
Computers are to design as microwaves are to cooking.
‐‐ Milton Glaser
Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.
‐‐ Pablo Picasso
Computers are very expensive and they need power, and that can be a problem in Africa.
‐‐ Mo Ibrahim
Computers are very powerful tools, but in the simulated world of the computer, everything has to be calculated.
‐‐ Margaret Wertheim
Computers are wasteful of paper and time. Once, we'd get documents with a few errors. Now, people make hundreds of copies until each sheet is flawless and memos are duplicated endlessly. Managers get swamped with emails.
‐‐ Felix Dennis
Computers can bully us. A slow and unreliable system will bring even the toughest soul to their knees as they find themselves completely defenseless against the erratic whims of their rogue machine.
‐‐ Lou Ferrigno
Computers do the calculating to allow people to transform the world.
‐‐ Conrad Wolfram
Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist.
‐‐ John Lasseter
Computers double their performance every month.
‐‐ Stephen Hawking
Computers get better faster than anything else ever.
‐‐ Erik Brynjolfsson
Computers have become more friendly, understandable, and lots of years and thought have been put into developing software to convince people that they want and need a computer.
‐‐ Roberta Williams
Computers have cut-and-paste functions. So does right-wing historical memory.
‐‐ Rick Perlstein
Computers have proved to be formidable chess players. In fact, they've beaten our top human chess champions.
‐‐ Neil deGrasse Tyson
Computers have virtually replaced tape recorders.
‐‐ Tony Visconti
Computers in classrooms are the filmstrips of the 1990s.
‐‐ Clifford Stoll
Computers intimidate me.
‐‐ Dylan Lauren
Computers let people avoid people, going out to explore. It's so different to just open a website instead of looking at a Picasso in a museum in Paris.
‐‐ Raf Simons
Computers, like automobiles and airplanes, do only what people tell them to do.
‐‐ Bill James
Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.
‐‐ Andy Rooney
Computers make me totally blank out.
‐‐ Dalai Lama
Computers may save time but they sure waste a lot of paper. About 98 percent of everything printed out by a computer is garbage that no one ever reads.
‐‐ Andy Rooney
Computers ought to help people find their own best path through lots of textual information.
‐‐ Mitch Kapor
Computers rather frighten me, because I never did learn to type, so the whole thing seems extraordinarily complicated to me.
‐‐ Charles Keating
Computers seem a little too adaptively flexible, like the strange natives, odd societies, and head cases we study in the social sciences. There's more opposable thumb in the digital world than I care for; it's awfully close to human.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
Computers sort of came around through games and toys. And you know, the first computer most people had in the house may have been a computer to play 'Pong,' a little microprocessor embedded, and then other games that came after that.
‐‐ Rodney Brooks
Computers tend to separate us from each other - Mum's on the laptop, Dad's on the iPad, teenagers are on Facebook, toddlers are on the DS, and so on.
‐‐ Tom Hodgkinson
Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.
‐‐ Steve Jobs
Computers were never designed in the first place to become musical instruments. Within a computer, everything is sterile - there's no sound, there's no air. It's totally code. Like with computer-generated effects in movies, you can create wonders. But it's really hard to create emotion.
‐‐ Thomas Bangalter
Computers will be able to do all the mundane tasks in our daily lives.
‐‐ Aaron Swartz
Computing is a big segment. It's more than just mobile devices or PCs and laptops.
‐‐ Brian Krzanich
Computing is becoming universal.
‐‐ Jay S. Walker
Computing is evolving beyond phones, and people are using it in context across many scenarios, be it in their television, be it in their car, be it something they wear on their wrist or even something much more immersive.
‐‐ Sundar Pichai
Computing is kind of a mess. Your computer doesn't know where you are. It doesn't know what you're doing. It doesn't know what you know.
‐‐ Larry Page
Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living.
‐‐ Nicholas Negroponte
Computing should be taught as a rigorous - but fun - discipline covering topics like programming, database structures, and algorithms. That doesn't have to be boring.
‐‐ Geoff Mulgan
Computing shows up in many different ways. You have computing that you wear, computing that you carry. What you think of as the traditional PC market has a long tail of usage, particularly in the commercial world, but also in consumer.
‐‐ Michael Dell
Computing technology started out as number-crunching.
‐‐ Ramez Naam
Comrade Deng Xiaoping - along with other party elders - gave the party leadership their firm and full support to put down the political disturbance using forceful measures.

Comrades, this man has a nice smile, but he's got iron teeth.

Comrades - We are living in momentous times.
