“In my perspective, science and computer science is a liberal art, it’s
something everyone should know how to use, at least, and harness in
their life. It’s not something that should be relegated to 5 percent of
the population over in the corner. It’s something that everybody should
be exposed to and everyone should have mastery of to some extent, and
that’s how we viewed computation and these computation devices.”
