I'm reading Alan Turing: The Enigma![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
, by Andrew Hodges, so for the next few you're going to be subjected to quotes from one of the ancestors of digital computing:
No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after is just a mediocre brain, something like the President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.
(from p.251, describing a discussion on the future of computing in the lunchroom of AT&T in 1943)
