Intriguing, thanks, I'll have to marinate on that.
I'm a big fan of the mother of all demos. Have you happened to have read "what the dormouse said" ? It has a great narrative of that event including all the behind the scenes action that Stewart Brand contributed, like setting up the TV broadcast truck on top of the hill to relay the video output and importantly the sounds of the mainframe back in Menlo park.

- detourdog 2y agoI haven't read that book yet. I have been meaning to but just haven't gotten to it. I can't believe we can watch the "mother of all demos". That alone proves its significance. My favorite aspect of the demo is that it reveals that our human computing desires are universal and have been there from the start. It has taken generations to achieve the mass adoptions of these ideas. This realization takes the mystique away from the BigCo and their services. They are simple human desires for technology that were obvious from the beginning.
