Alan Kay Decries the State of Computing

gnaremooz writes "Computer pioneer Alan Kay (DARPA in the '60s, PARC in the '70s, now HP Labs) declares 'The sad truth is that 20 years or so of commercialization have almost completely missed the point of what personal computing is about.' He believes that PCs should be tools for creativity and learning, and they are falling short."

    Another clueless, arrogant slashdot poster without a clue of what the heck he's talking about.

    If you knew anything at all about Alan Kay, you'd know that when Alan speaks, you really should be listening.

    But instead, in typical slashdot-reactionary style, you just throw out a single clueless comment, pretending you know what you're talking about.
