foul things up requires a computer.
2. Murphy's Second Technology Law : Logic is a systematic method of
coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
3. Murphy's Third Technology Law : Technology is dominated by those
who manage what they do not understand.
4. Murphy's Fourth Technology Law : If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, then one woodpecker could destroy all of civilization.
5. Murphy's Fifth Technology Law : An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.
6. Murphy's Sixth Technology Law : Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe, and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it, and he'll have to touch to be sure.
7. Murphy's Seventh Technology Law : All great discoveries are made
by mistake.
8. Murphy's Eight Technology Law : Nothing ever gets built on
schedule or within budget.
