Nicholas Negroponte – predictions about the future
Yesterday I found Nicholas Negroponte’s speech about the future of computers, technology and design at the first TED talks in 1984. I assume that the videos he is using in the presentation are containing stuff from the MIT labs at that time and it’s really impressive what tools and software they have developed back then. I think Nicholas Negroponte was 24 years ago more up to date than most of us today. In his speech he is covering topics of touchscreen interfaces and the one laptop per child project that just got the attention of the masses in the last 2-3 years, just visionary and brilliant.
