Steve Wozniak
“All of a sudden, we’ve lost a lot of control,’ he said. ‘We can’t turn off our internet; we can’t turn off our smartphones; we can’t turn off our computers. You used to ask a smart person a question. Now, who do you ask? It starts with g-o, and it’s not God…”
― Steve Wozniak

Edsger W. Dijkstra
“Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes”
― Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
