Progress on the Frontiers: Technology and Progress with Doug Engelbart and Alan Kay
posted by Peter William Lount



Alan Kay and Doug Engelbart

"The Information Technology revolution has had an incredible impact on the ways in which we organize work, educate children, and communicate with each other. However, the full potential of these technologies has yet to be realized. In the latest of a series of conversations involving remarkable thinkers, The Progress Project explores how technology can be used as a tool to promote progress.

To that end, the Progress Project invited Dr. Doug Engelbart and Dr. Alan Kay, two of the people responsible for putting computers on everyone's desk, to engage in a conversation centered on how technology can be used to spread the blessings of progress to a broader section of humanity, improve the ways in which we work, use knowledge and information, and educate children."
