有一些人让我们自称计算机是逻辑设备,而我们并不是经常给这些人以足够的信任。我在这里说的并不是程序员,他们和用户一样,依赖于逻辑幻想。我想说的是这样一些人,正是他们的设计和制造技术,把凌乱的电压和电流变成有用的神奇机器。隐藏在我们看起来好象是想当然的技术背后,是一些世界上最优秀的智力劳动者。电气和电子工程师协会(IEEE)在今年将为他们颁发大奖。到时 IEEE Some people make us claim that computers are logical devices, and we do not often give them enough trust. What I am talking about here is not programmers. They, like users, depend on logical illusions. What I want to say is that some of them are precisely the design and manufacturing techniques that turn messy voltages and currents into useful magical machines. Hidden behind what we seem to take for granted is some of the best intellectual workers in the world. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) will award them this year.
