Main Computer

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or computer:

    The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    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)
