- Keynote Address: The Computer Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet!
- Alan Kay
Viewpoints Research Institute
There are many compelling reasons to believe that the real computer
revolution—the one that mirrors the vast changes in thinking that
came more than a century after the technology of the printing press—hasn't
happened yet. If so, then we should be teaching and training
young computer scientists very differently than is done now. Formal
education tends to focus on the "last great thing, several generations
removed" and to teach it as received truth. In a field that has the
majority of its journey in its future, there is almost no real received
truth, and the students need to be taught in ways that will allow them
to be major participants in the very different future destiny of our
field. We need them to move the field, not to occupy it. This talk
will try to suggest rather different approaches to teaching the
computer and systems sciences.
