BYUtv - That Promised Day - 1 views

  •  
    Fascinating and spiritual history of our current version of the LDS Scriptures. There were many many people who worked on the project. The Church got a lot of public input on the making of these scriptures. You might say they are "open source", or that they were made with an agile process. Even the Bible Dictionary was taken from Cambridge University and they let the Church take their Bible Dictionary and make amendments to it.

History of Computers and Computing, Internet, Dreamers, Murray Leinster - 2 views

  • Leinster made one of the first descriptions of a personal computer (called a "logic") in science fiction
  • Leinster envisioned logics in every home, linked through a distributed system of servers (called "tanks"), to provide communications, entertainment, data access, and even commerce
  • Information runs rampant as every logic worldwide crunches away at problems too vast in scope for human minds to have attempted. Societal chaos quickly ensues, the situation became critical.
