Computer Side

Famous quotes containing the words computer and/or side:

“What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive. What matters here is not that the computer is without consciousness but that thus far it is incapable of the spontaneous grasp of pattern—a capacity essential to perception and intelligence.”
—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)

“Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
