From InfoWorld:
“As computers appeared on the public scene in the ’50s, psychologists marveled at the parallels between data-processing technology and the workings of the human mind. A handful of scientists of the day believed that the functional structure of the human mind was fully analogous to that of the computer. Considering that computers in the ’50s were slow, noisy, and unreliable, those scientists apparently didn’t think much of their warm-blooded subjects. I happen to be old-fashioned enough to think that some things will always be beyond man’s understanding, with or without a supercomputer in every garage.”
