“More time is wasted in front of computers than on highways.”

A picture is worth a thousand words. An interface is worth a thousand pictures.

Successful technologies are those that are in harmony with users’ needs. They must support relationships and activities that enrich the users’ experiences.

Leonardo Da Vinci combined art and science and aesthetics and engineering, that kind of unity is needed once again.

The purpose of visualization is insight, not pictures

I’ve often gotten the feeling that the only people who have learned from computer assisted instruction are the authors.

The old computing was about what computers could do; the new computing is about what users can do.

I had one typewriter for 50 years, but I have bought seven computers in six years. I suppose that’s why Bill Gates is rich, and Underwood is out of business.

The fastest thing computers do is go obsolete.

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.

Hard times are when a man has worked at a job for 30 years – 30 years – and they give him a watch, kick him in the butt, and say, ‘Hey, a computer took your place, daddy.’ That’s hard times!

Computers aren’t intelligent, they only think they are.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

The number of elements that have to go into a hit would break a computer down. the right season for that play, the right historical moment, the right tonality.

Because you have things like ‘American Idol’ and you’ve got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it’s easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.
