More quotes by Joseph Weizenbaum
Science promised man power. But, as so often happens when people are seduced by promises of power, the price is servitude and impotence. Power is nothing if it is not the power to choose.
Joseph Weizenbaum
A computer will do what you tell it to do, but that may be much different from what you had in mind.
Joseph Weizenbaum
