In March 1997, the Association for Computing Machinery celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the electronic computer. Computers are everywhere: in our cars, our homes, our supermarkets, at the office, and at the local hospital.

These sixteen invited essays on the future of computing take on a dazzling variety of topics, with opinions from such experts as Gordon Bell, Sherry Turkle, Edsger W.

This brilliantly eclectic collection will fascinate everybody with an interest in computers and where they are leading us.… (más)

En række forfattere forsøgte i 1997 på at komme med et bud på fremtiden for computere. Det er ikke ret godt ramt. Cloud computing, blockchain currencies, smart phones. Nej!
