PARC Movies [video]
- iconfinder 12y agoCan somebody provide some context for the video? It's incredible to see how many of the concepts in this video is still present in a modern user interface.
- ozten 12y agoThe voice is Alan Kay who lead the invention of the modern day Desktop computer / GUI. The system is probably a prototype of the Dynabook, a laptop / tablet for children. The code is Smalltalk which Alan and team created while inventing Object Oriented programming. You can play with Squeak, which is the modern version of this system.

- pjmlp 12y agoPARC was great. Every time I get hold of documentation about their systems, I cry a little tear that we are still playing catchup with those environments. Specially when I see developers happily coding as if they had a PDP-11 on their lap.
- nilsimsa 12y agoI wish this software was still around to play with in some sort of simulator.
- seltzered_ 12y agoAnother version of this video (with Alan Key reviewing this same video from the 70's later in 1987 and giving some more context) is: "alan kay - doing with images makes symbols" http://archive.org/details/AlanKeyD1987?start=2240 http://archive.org/details/AlanKeyD1987?start=2240
