Noah's Readings

I am not sitting in a room with you, so instead I will post those excerpts here.

Guy Steele on the future of computing

Two hundred years from now we will have decided that computers aren’t interesting, that they are really boring, and we will move on to something else. It will just be a technology in the background like refrigeration technology now.

This quote by Guy Steele comes from the panel discussion at the end of Don Knuth’s Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About.
