A (with phone): "I love technology. It's my passion. That's why, when learning math and science, I always ask 'What's the point?' and 'When am I going to USE this?'" [Board: logic gates AND, NAND, OR, NOR] B: "Wouldn't that attitude have hindered the development of all the technologies you love?" A: "No, what I love are the effects. I'm just trying to eliminate all these pesky causes."
