First 10 mins of the first Structure and Interpretation lecture (by Harold Abelson) [1] Famous first words ... "I'd like to welcome you to this course on computer science. Actually, that's a terrible way to start. Computer science is a terrible name for this business." ... and this is where it all clicked to me .... "Well, similarly, I think in the future people will look back and say, yes, those primitives in the 20th century were fiddling around with these gadgets called computers, but really what they were doing is starting to learn how to formalize intuitions about process" [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Op3QLzMgSY |
