Famous quotes containing the words instruction, set and/or computer:
“Much of the pressure contemporary parents feel with respect to dressing children in designer clothes, teaching young children academics, and giving them instruction in sports derives directly from our need to use our children to impress others with our economic surplus.

They roused him with mustard and cress—
They roused him with jam and judicious advice—
They set him conundrums to guess.”

“The archetype of all humans, their ideal image, is the computer, once it has liberated itself from its creator, man. The computer is the essence of the human being. In the computer, man reaches his completion.”
