This is a handy collection of pithy quotations about computers: advice, put-downs, off-the-mark predictions, and other snippets from experts such as Steve Jobs, Ted Nelson, Thomas J. Watson, George Bush, and Duckman. Anyone who writes, speaks, or thinks about computers is sure to find at least a few useful tidbits for their work in this book:

"The goal was that it had to be better than the back of an envelope. -- Dan Bricklin, creator of VisiCalc, circa 1978
"Unlike print, electronic text defies proverbial wisdom. You can have your cake, give it away, then eat it, and still have it." -- Richard A. Lanham, 1993

Synopsis
Computers are everywhere, and they've provoked a wide variety of observations--off-the-mark predictions, bad advice, and some startling insights into the power and revolutionary significance of this pervasive technology. Lubar has compiled a collection that offers wry and discerning commentary on the triumphs and tribulations of the computer age, with quotes by everyone from Steve Jobs to Woody Allen.
