“ So in my uncertainty, I went to graduate school and there it all happened. ”
The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do.
~ Ted Nelson

They were saying computers deal with numbers. This was absolutely nonsense. Computers deal with arbitrary information of any kind.
In my second year in graduate school, I took a computer course and that was like lightening striking.
