Where to even begin? This article is definitely food for the
soul. The introduction to the article is breath taking. There is just so much
information and history. I am astonished with what Kay and Goldberg discovered.
While reading this article I felt like I was taking a flashback in time and
there when this was happening. It is so amazing to read about the invention of
the notebook computer and that they did not know what would come of them. One
could only dream, and their dream became more than just a reality, it changed
the world. And to think that they invented this from imagination and creation?!
Today, no one thinks about the click of a mouse button and how it actually
works or how/why it was invented. This article tells us all about that. I have
a niece and nephew, ages 4 and 8, who will probably never think that the laptop
is cool because they are growing up with it already existing in their lifetime.
To think a 4-year-old has an iPod touch? It leaves me speechless that my niece
does. Today, I still find the multiple-window display to be amazing and would
love to get on the “other side” of a computer just to see how it works. And a
little girl programmed a painting and drawing system, WOW. How she came up with
the ideas of a menu and different options for brushes and what not, I wish I
can have a great idea to change the world.
