Index Entry
Computer:
"The computer is simply a brain, in contradistinction to the mind. It always deals with the storage of a special case experience. . . What we do with the brain is a method of storing information and retrieving it-- that’s the big story there. So a computer is simply another one of those tools; it is a larger storage, & and by virtue of the fact that you can add energy into the system, you can retrieve faster. . . It can hold a number of patterns, and they’re really quite complex ones, so we get the inherent synergetic results from the fact that we’re getting all the juxtaposed information almost simultaneously, which our mind picks up synergetically as we get it from the computer.
“The computer isn’t really synergetic, but it confronts us with synergetic aspects.”
