I'd like to start this post by thanking Frank Wilson for introducing me to the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
Frank is the former book editor for the Philadelphia Inquirer and a client of mine. He possesses an incredible intellect, wit, and healthy skepticism that I find refreshing. He runs a great blog that he was kind enough to link me up on.
Thanks Frank!
In the months ahead we will be taking a different perspective on many of the decisions regarding human factors in computing. In doing so we may find ourselves disagreeing with some of the great minds that have contributed to computing thus far.
Its important to stress this is not a devaluation of their contributions to the advancement of computing. In seeking to understand computing, we must take a long view and we can't be limited by what's in our immediate focus. As McLuhan might say, if we are focused on the fore, we will miss the ground.
