To me quantum computation is a new and deeper and better way to understand the laws of physics, and hence understanding physical reality as a whole.
If you're using a computer as an artist and expressing your personal vision, I think your personal vision comes through.
Computers are heaven-sent when they work and hell-spawn when they don't. There's just not much middle ground when it comes to technology.
The European model is, first, a social and economic system founded on the role of the market, for no computer in the world can process information better than the market.
My abilities on the computer are limited pretty much to iTunes and YouTube. I check my email as much as anybody, but I'm more old-fashioned in a certain sense.
Finding a technical cofounder would have been difficult for me. I was an English major and didn't know any computer programmers.
When you have the baby, there is no BlackBerry, no computer; you just have the baby on your stomach, and your heart is beating the same time as the baby's. It's very nice.
It's really weird to be playing chords again. Haven't played chords for a long time. I realised I haven't played chord changes since OK Computer and stuff like that.
Alan Turing gave us a mathematical model of digital computing that has completely withstood the test of time. He gave us a very, very clear description that was truly prophetic.
Things slow down, the ball seems a lot bigger and you feel like you have more time. Everything computes - you have options, but you always take the right one.
You don't need to be a spook to care about encryption. If you travel with your computer or keep it in a place where other people can put their hands on it, you're vulnerable.
[Poem on Narrator's computer] Narrator: Worker bees can leave. Even drones can fly away. The Queen is their slave.
[the kids are playing Pacman while Clark is designing a map on the computer] Clark: Russ, please don't eat the Truckster.
MO's computer: [after scanning Wall-E screen says 100%] Foreign contaminant! MO: Huh? Whoa-whoa-whoa whoa whoa!
The hardware manufacturers, game designers, cable companies and computer companies and, in fact, film studios are going to ensure that this thing marches on. They know that they are going to make an enormous amount of money from it.
Time spent in nature is the most cost-effective and powerful way to counteract the burnout and sort of depression that we feel when we sit in front of a computer all day.
What amplifies the transformational power ahead is the confluence of two major technological currents today: the universal access to mobile computing and the pervasive use of social networks.
Poetry for me is very easy. It's like a lightning bolt. I feel this calling, and the first line of the poem comes into my head, and I just have to go to the page, to the typewriter, to the computer or whatever and write it.
There is no significant man-made Global Warming underway and the science on which the computer projections of weather chaos are based is badly flawed.
If we want technology to serve society rather than enslave it, we have to build systems accessible to all people - be they male or female, young, old, disabled, computer wizards or technophobes.
Yes, I play computer games. I think you've got to embrace the latest technology. For someone to dismiss games as not important would be the same as saying the Internet is not important.
