One of the biggest challenges we had in the first decade was not that many people had personal computers. There weren't that many people to sell to and it was hard to identify them.

The great advance of personal computers was not the computing power per se but the fact that it brought it right to your face that you had control over it that were confronted with it and could steer it.

Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010 and personal computers will do so by about 2020.

Bill Gates is the pope of the personal computer industry. He decides who's going to build.

Personally I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.

To devise an information processing system capable of getting along on its own - it must handle its own problems of programming bookkeeping communication and coordination with its users. It must appear to its users as a single integrated personality.

People aren't going to talk about it except me and that is communication and the visits I have personally had in our meetings with our store managers saying if you do these things you will be terminated period.

Yes it must be something that goes very well with my voice let's say something that I understand that this would be good communication with the others and I don't pretend for instance to look for music that would be something that doesn't go with my personality.

Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication.

The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. It's not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff.

Anonymous blog comments vapid video pranks and lightweight mash-ups may seem trivial and harmless but as a whole this widespread practice of fragmentary impersonal communication has demeaned personal interaction.

You're talking about a younger generation Generation Y whose interpersonal communication skills are different from Generation X. The younger generation is more comfortable saying something through a digital mechanism than even face to face.

I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication they're tools of creativity and they can be shaped by their user.

Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success.

I wrote seven Myron Bolitar novels in a row and I never want to write a Myron book where he just solves a crime. Every one of them I want to be personal and I want him to grow and change. The problem with that is it makes the series limited you can't write a series where a guy is always going through some kind of crisis.

We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance... And yet we all know that life experiences do change us.

One of the things I've always personally tried to stress with this band was to have some kind of visual aspect and to be consistent with it - like not to change.

I think if there's any difference between me and a traditional CEO it's that I've been unwilling to change myself or shape my personality around what's expected.

You look at a herd of cattle and well they all look the same... but they know. They all have an individual personality and those personalities change from day to day. They can have their grumpy days and their happy days and their serene days. But it's unpredictable. You can't be off in outer space when you're dealing with animals.

One reason we resist making deliberate choices is that choice equals change and most of us feeling the world is unpredictable enough try to minimise the trauma of change in our personal lives.

I think change is possible but only for individuals who were never truly gay in the first place and who have a strong personal motivation to recover their heterosexuality.

The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face and you're not going to change each other's minds. It's a waste of your time and my time.

I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change - within himself not on the outside.

It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realize that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality.
