One of the most feared expressions in modern times is 'The computer is down'.
I have a cell phone that doesn't behave like a phone: It behaves like a computer that makes calls. Computers are becoming an integral part of daily life.

To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That's what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games — nothing like saving the world.

When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night.
I love the writing. I love the idea of typing and seeing it on the computer and printing it out myself and, you know, moving sentences around. I like that.
Most parents would not hesitate to assume responsibility for their child's behavior on a playground, at school, or in someone else's home. What happens online should be no different. Parents should talk with their children about computer ethics, stipulate rules of conduct, and — most importantly — establish consequences.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.
To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer.
Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window.
