"The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows"
- Frank Zappa
About this Quote
This quote by Frank Zappa is a reminder that computers are powerful tools, however they can not replace the human touch. Computers can supply us with specific mathematical styles, but they can not supply us with the emotional story behind the design. The psychological story is what offers the style meaning and purpose. It is the subtle subtleties, such as the eyebrows, that make the design come alive. Without the psychological story, the style is simply a collection of numbers and signs. It is the human touch that brings the style to life and makes it significant. Computer systems can offer us with the technical information, but it is up to us to supply the psychological story.
