The guys who invented the CPU never got a Nobel Prize.

The Nobel committee is "out of touch" with the information age.

What a silly experiment. Well not really but silly in regard to what it is supposed to show. But hey. It's Piaget.

I remember using this in 1973 at PARC when I worked there. The mouse was called a

GUI - and I do remember how amazing it was being able to email/transmissions to each other Alto's connected. When the 80's came around we all chuckled because we had been using this technology for over a decade! I loved how whatever you would have on your screen was exactly how it printed. Those were the days indeed. Xerox at the time had no interest in the business of Personal Computers, only copiers.

The event that people drove all night to get the Altair 8800 kit, reminds me the people who waited all night long out of the shops to buy Windows 95 :)
