Processors Quotes - Page 2

• La mayoría de los escritores que conozco se han pasado a los procesadores de texto. Yo no, pero tengo mucha curiosidad por saber por qué a la gente le gusta tanto. Creo que tiene algo que ver con el hecho de que, por fin, la escritura, que ha sido una actividad tan anticuada y artesanal, incluso en una máquina de escribir, ha entrado en el ámbito central de la experiencia moderna, que es el de hacer copias, participar en el mundo de los duplicados y las actividades mediadas por máquinas.

• One of the things that's interesting is that the PC has always had a huge amount of scalability. It was sort of the wild dog that moved into Australia and killed all the local life because it could just adapt. There used to be these dedicated devices, like dedicated word processors.

• De las 472 ocupaciones civiles definidas por el Departamento de Comercio, sólo seis son mayoritariamente inmigrantes (legales e ilegales). Estas seis ocupaciones representan el 1% del total de la mano de obra estadounidense. Muchos trabajos que a menudo se piensa que son mayoritariamente realizados por inmigrantes son, de hecho, mayoritariamente nativos: el 51% de las criadas son nacidas en Estados Unidos, al igual que el 63% de los carniceros y procesadores de carne, y el 73% de los conserjes.

• Both instruments are processors of information. Both appeared when nothing quite like them had existed before, and both began to make their effects felt immediately (a situation that isn't invariable with new technology). Both devices were less the result of a single breakthrough than of an evolving set of technologies. Like the computer, the printing press had no one certain inventor; it was a technology whose time had come.
