Technology Quotes


"We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain."
     - Stephen Hawking


"The traditional mathematician recognizes and appreciates mathematical elegance when he sees it. I propose to go one step further, and to consider elegance an essential ingredient of mathematics: if it is clumsy, it is not mathematics."
     - Edsger Dijkstra


"Programming is not a zero-sum game. Teaching something to a fellow programmer doesn't take it away from you. I'm happy to share what I can, because I'm in it for the love of programming."
     - John Carmack


"Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
     - Edsger Dijkstra
