It's a podcast from the excellent 99% Invisible that talks about Douglas Engelbert's (of Mother of all Demos fame) vision for computing that expanded human capabilities through systems that required mastery, and how that vision has been replaced by things this "principle of no learning."
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoIs there a more specific quote by Engelbert? I don’t remember reading that in his 1962 paper, but maybe I need to go back and read it again.
- Chaebixi 9y agoI didn't quote him. My comment was just a summary of the podcast synthesized with this post (since it coined a more compact term for the concept).
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoAh, too bad, that would be an awesome thing to put in a paper!

- m_mueller 9y agosmall nitpick: it's Engelbart. IMO everyone on HN should know his history and watch the mother of all demos, he's one of the greats.
