Computer Science

I moved to MIT from Stanford in 1984 to teach, and became the founding director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab.

I like to think of it as this new field. Instead of computer science, it's going to be virtual science.

I think computer science, by and large, is still stuck in the Modern age.

I actually started off majoring in computer science, but I knew right away I wasn't going to stay with it. It was because I had this one professor who was the loneliest, saddest man I've ever known. He was a programmer, and I knew that I didn't want to do whatever he did. So after that, I switched to Communications.

That's one of those things about being a computer science major: Valentine's Day is just another day.

It should be mandatory that you understand computer science.

Computer Science is embarrassed by the computer.

Computer science is one of the worst things that ever happened to either computers or to science.

Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
