IT Quote of the Week: Robert McNamara
Robert McNamara was president of the World Bank, a US Secretary of Defense, father of the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution System, man who put seat belts in cars, and creator of policy analysis. As such, he is perfect to join our other worthy additions to our IT Thought of the Day Quote of the Week Series
I like Information Age quotations. I find some of them very inspirational and like to carry a new one around about every week. I thought that i could share mine with you from time to time. This week it will be a funny quote. You can read more about the author at Wikipedia.
“A computer does not substitute for judgment any more than a pencil substitutes for literacy. But writing without a pencil is no particular advantage.”
Robert McNamara
