- michaelkscott 14y agoWatched the video but I honestly can't tell if he's trolling or not ;)
- da02 14y agoI don't think he is trolling. The idea may be related to how Licklider wanted an intergalactic network: https://www.google.com/search?q=1969+the+intergalactic+network https://www.google.com/search?q=1969+the+intergalactic+netwo... Licklider knew engineers do what they are told and nothing else. So: give them a really big project or else they won't implement beyond the specifications. It seemed to worked since the Internet has been scalable. Alan Kay, every year, talks about Licklider's intergalactic network in his history of computing talk: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=alan+kay http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=alan+kay
