Bush – Speculating the Computer Age

I thought I’d make a quick post right after I finished this week’s reading by Vannevar Bush while it is still fresh in my mind and right before I go to work.

Firstly I was quite struck by how people like Bush can be able to so closely predict revolutions like the dawning of the computer age, maybe it is because of my limit ridden mind that I am in so much awe of people who possess such limitless creativity.

I also wonder if there can ever be a point where there will just eventually be nothing left to invite, or are we on a trajectory that will constantly require and demand new things, if so I wonder if modern figures like Bush are amongst us now and have already predicted the next frontier of life.

Ok now I’m seriously late for work, I’ll be back later to develop these thoughts further.
