“You never change things by fighting the existing model. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
— R. Buckminster Fuller
The pioneering American computer scientist Alan Kay observed, famously, that “the best way to predict the future is to invent it.” In that spirit, he devised the Dynabook, a tablet-like prototype of what would later become the laptop and other recent innovations in mobile computing. The Dynabook, however, never existed as anything other than an idea of how to bring computing to children.
