Re: <nettime> computer critic Joseph Weizenbaum died, age 85


I slightly knew Weizenbaum in the 1980's. He was fond of saying that 
anything that calls itself "(something) science" as in "computer 
science" isn't really a science. When he retired and moved back to 
Berlin he aparently refused to speak English in public any more.
Best,
Michael
