There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains.
I'm so hard on myself. I play these sketches in my computer for friends and they say 'Gee whiz, the vocal's beautiful.' I hear, 'It needs to be better.'
I've learned you can't write on a computer on a bus. It jiggles too much, especially an Apple. The keyboard jiggles around too much, and there are too many typos.
I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.
As commentators like the American psychologist Gary Marcus have noted, it's extremely difficult to teach a computer to recognise cats. And that's not for want of trying.
Never ask what sort of computer a guy drives. If he's a Mac user, he'll tell you. If not, why embarrass him?

All novelists write in a different way, but I always write in longhand and then do two versions of typescript on a computer.
This fascination with computer models is something I understand very well. Richard Feynmann called it a disease. I fear he is right.
My workspace is defined by books, ephemera, quiet and light. I don't have a computer, telephone or a fax machine there.
The computer environment is radically different today. In the 1980s, it was like the Wild West, with a lot of open territory. Now, the cowboys have moved out and the farmers have moved in.
