Men are noisy, narrow-band devices, but their nervous systems have very many parallel and simultaneously active channels. Relative to men, computing machines are very fast and very accurate, but they are constrained to perform only one or a few elementary… — J. C. R. Licklider Copy Share Image
The hope is that, in not too many years, human brains and computing machines will be coupled together very tightly, and that the resulting… — J. C. R. Licklider Copy Share Image

One must be prepared to reject not only the schema of the physical library, which is essentially a response to books and their proliferation,… — J. C. R. Licklider Copy Share Image
About 85 per cent of my "thinking" time was spent getting into a position to think, to make a decision, to learn something I… — J. C. R. Licklider Copy Share Image
