A PC Pioneer Decries the State of Computing
Friday, July 9th, 2004Fortune: A PC Pioneer Decries the State of Computing. Great interview with Alan Kay [via evhead:
- “The computer revolution hasn’t started yet…we’re not even close to what we should have”
- “We’re running on fumes technologically today. The sad truth is that 20 years or so of commercialization have almost completely missed the point of what personal computing is about.”
- “You can read a document in Microsoft Word, and write a document in Microsoft Word. But the people who did web browsers I think were too lazy to do the authoring part.”
- “The primary task of the Internet is to connect every person to every other person.”
