Danh ngôn của Brian Kernighan (Sứ mệnh: 5)

Computers and computing are all around us. Some computing is highly visible, like your laptop. But this is only part of a computing iceberg. A lot more lies hidden below the surface. We don't see and usually don't think about the computers inside appliances, cars, airplanes, cameras, smartphones, GPS navigators and games.
Even though most people won't be directly involved with programming, everyone is affected by computers, so an educated person should have a good understanding of how computer hardware, software, and networks operate.
It's important to be informed about issues like usability, reliability, security, privacy, and some of the inherent limitations of computers.
