ISTAS 2022 : Grady Booch: Computing the Human Experience - Technology and Social Perspectives

The story of computing is the story of humanity: this is a story of ambition, invention, creativity, vision, avarice, and serendipity, powered by a refusal to accept the limits of our bodies and our minds.

Computing: The Human Experience  explores the science of computing, examines the connections among computing, individuals, and society, and contemplates the future, taking us on a journey of what it means to be human in the face of a technology that can amplify us, diminish us, and most certainly will co-evolve with us.
