“ In the computer field, the moment of truth is a running program; all else is prophecy. ”
The world is vast, beautiful, and fascinating… even awe-inspiring, but impersonal. It demands nothing of me, and allows me to demand nothing of it.
~ Herbert Simon
Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design.
I don't care how big and fast computers are, they're not as big and fast as the world.
The proper study of mankind is the science of design.
