Ged Byrne clued us into this one over at the Google Flow-Based Programming group:
Here is an entertaining talk: http://worrydream.com/dbx
The presenter, Bret Victor, has a simple conceipt: it's 1973. He looks at all the amazing ideas that were coming together and shows the obvious direction of programming.
He highlights how absurd, no tragic, it is that programming is where it is today.
I love this line: "we can rely on the computers getting faster. What we can't rely on is people changing the way they think."
Regards,
Ged
It's all good but for me the best bit starts at 22:05
