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.
I use a computer. I don't know if that qualifies me as a techie, but I'm pretty good on the computer.
As a person with terrible handwriting, I love the computer. I've waited all my life for the computer.
The new world will be a place of answers and no questions, because the only questions left will be answered by computers, because only computers will know what to ask
Pixar has invented much of computer animation as it's known today, and I've been very lucky to be the first traditional animator to work with computer animation.
Well, writing novels is incredibly simple: an author sits down…and writes. Granted, most writers I know are a bit strange. Some, downright weird. But then again, you’d have to be. To spend hundreds and hundreds of hours sitting in front of a comp...
I knew, always, what I wanted to be. Even before I had my first computer, I wanted to be a computer scientist.
CGI is done after the film is done. It's through the computer. Most of the film is not computer-generated special effects. Most of it is that creature that is in the room with you.
The computer, the noise of the computer feels like impatience. It's sort of the sound of impatience to me.
The computer offers another kind of creativity. You cannot ignore the creativity that computer technology can bring. But you need to be able to move between those two different worlds.
The computer is not, in our opinion, a good model of the mind, but it is as the trumpet is to the orchestra - you really need it. And so, we have very massive simulations in computers because the problem is, of course, very complex.
Personal computers were created by some teenagers in garages because the, the wisdom of the computer industry was that people didn't want these little toys on their desk.
I didn't want there to be a computer on stage. When I see people with computers on stage, I think, 'Are you sending e-mail?' That's so corny.
I just recently did a film with Disney, and they put the drawings straight on the computer. And it's all painted on the computer now and not by hand anymore.
I was an undergrad math major and a grad student in computer science. I'm hugely introverted, not atypical of math majors.
I shopped at J. Crew in high school, I studied computer science. I was a nerd-nerd, now I'm a music-nerd.
I never took a computer science course in college, because then it was a thing you just learned on your own.
If we increase r [in a logistic map] even more, we will eventually force the system into a period-8 limit cycle, then a period-16 cycle, and so on. The amount that we have to increase r to get another period doubling gets smaller and smaller for each...
I wonder who had the first computer dream, where, and when? I wonder if computers ever dream of humans.
The neocortex is not like a computer, parallel or otherwise. Instead of computing answers to problems the neocortex uses stored memories to solve problems and produce behavior.
I have not proved that the universe is, in fact, a digital computer and that it's capable of performing universal computation, but it's plausible that it is.
