Personal Dynamic Media


Wow! This was a very interesting article! Its amazing how these plans of the Dynabook have become actuality and it was all visualized so many years ago!  Alan Kay and Adele Goldberg had fully examined all the capabilities they could see a notebook sized computer to be.  Opposing to Licklider's time-sharing computers, these two people visualized and end goal of what they saw would be the most functional in the end-game rather that Licklider's views of what you be capable.  I thought Kay's and Goldberg's approach in creating a system in which children, hospitals, and musicians can all use what a great method in creating what we have privilege of having today.  By looking at all the various uses people want and need, they were able to devise a system that met all requirements for virtually any customer they may have.  The amazing part is, today this dream is true, and all facets in which they examined utilize laptops and other notebook size computer for those purposes.  Now everything is run in our world by the Dynabook-like devises.
