Part 1: Algorithm Design > Introduction

Chapter 1. Introduction

Man has within a single generation found himself sharing the world with a strange new species: the computer and computer like machines.

Neither history, nor philosophy, nor common sense will tell us how these machines will affect us, for they do not do “work” as did machines of the Industrial Revolution.

Prof. Marvin Minsky

I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.

Isaac Asimov
