Host Computer

Famous quotes containing the words host and/or computer:

    Thrust, my daughter or son, to escape, there is none, none, none,
    Nor when all ponderous heaven’s host of waters breaks.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    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)
