Computer And Kid: Potential applications of the computer and kid made possible by microelectronics include a small computer and kid in every home or a pocket computer and kid terminal that can be connected to a powerful central computer and kid via the telephone. Such devices may be used to solve our numerical problems (e.g., income tax, or our bank balance) or as a creative tool to relate our knowledge and experiences to our future actions.
And what of the computer and kid? Olof Johannesson's 1966 novel, The Tale of the Big computer and kid (which first appeared in an American edition in 1968), offers a history of the development of computer and kids as told by an advanced computer and kid of the future. In an unemotional, utterly convincing essay, it describes the gradual obsolescence and disappearance of its creator, man. |
