The story of computing is the story of humanity: this is a story of ambition, invention, creativity, vision, avarice, and serendipity, powered by a refusal to accept the limits of our bodies and our minds. Computing: The Human Experience is a transmedia project that explores the science of computing, examines the connections among computing, individuals, and society, and contemplates the future, taking us on a journey of what it means to be human in the face of a technology that can amplify us, diminish us, and perhaps even replace us.

As we have become more digital, we have also become more human.
Brian Solis
The most important thing about technology is how it changes people.
Jaron Lanier
Technology empowers individuals, it empowers voices, it empowers democracy in a way that can turn one man into a movement or a woman into a world power.
Edward Snowdan
A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.
Herbert Simon
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.
Stephen Hawking
The tragedy is not that technology has changed human nature, but that it hasn’t.
Jo Ramsay
We are as gods and we might as well get used to it.
Stewart Brand
Computer science is a possible basis for insights about God.
Donald Knuth
I am thinking about something much more important than bombs. I am thinking about computers.
John von Neumann
What manner of life should one lead when computing eliminates the need for most labor?
Grady Booch
