I totally relate to your point of view and experience. I'm so happy to ignore all the software related to the attention economy. What I find left over is the computing environment that I dreamt of when I was 12. I marvel that it took a whole generation of man hours to get to this point.
I think we are real inflection point between an analog world and a digital world. I also think that the Bronze Age never went away and analog techniques will just develop into craftsmanship.
I haven't posted a link to these Autonetics parts in while so I will do so again.
What I love about Autonetics is that they were solving the inertial guidance problem in whatever computing form they could get a hold of.
I'm working on a proper website but the images linked here represent the inertial guidance problem being solved with discrete components arranged in circuits and later those circuits integrated in silicon.
