The Dream Machine: The Story of the Computer Revolution. Prologue

Posted on

This book is recommended by Alan Kay. He often says the phrase, "The computer revolution has not yet happened." But the computer revolution has begun. More accurately — it has been initiated.

Where did they intend to lead humanity? At what stage are we […]

However, all devices have different connection options (USB, RS-232, Ethernet, etc.) and ways to interact with them. Supporting all of them within the MIS is practically impossible, […]

Posted on

Almost always we create our problems with our own hands… our worldview… our inaction… our laziness… our fears.

Posted on

"Jetpack Pilot" is a "job of the past," it's 60 years old. "Jetpack Developer" - 100 years old. "Instructor of the school course on jetpack construction" is a job of the present, we're doing that now. But what is the profession of the future? Tamper? Archeoprogrammer?
