I just received an article submission back with major revisions required. For a computing related journal. I actually appreciated the comments but that is not the point of the post. What struck me was a comment that my article was a bit philosophical / theoretical for an applied computing-related journal.

Deciding what is or should be computational is actually a very deep decision.

I wonder how many of the people who work with computers (especially virtual reality) have read this article, written a mere 75 years ago..

As We May Think

“Consider a future device …  in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.“

-”Vannevar Bush, July 1945 Issue, The Atlantic
