Bootstrapping: Douglas Engelbart, Coevolution, and the Origins of Personal Computing (Writing Science (Paperback))

Rating:
Summary: Story of a little known pioneer!
Review: These days only the big guys get the credit for the technology we use every day. In Bootstrapping, Bardini looks at the life and contributions of Douglas Engelbart to the personal computing revolution. More than the story of technology, Bootstrapping is the story of a personal crusade to make interfacing with computers easier. Bardini focuses too much on the person and not enough on the context of Engelbart's innovations, hence the 4 stars.
