'The computer is incredibly fast, accurate, and stupid. Man is unbelievably slow, inaccurate, and brilliant.'
— Leo Cherne

'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.'
– Arthur C. Clarke

'A tool is but the extension of a man's hand, and a machine is but a complex tool. He that invents a machine augments the power of a man and the well-being of mankind.'
