History Notebook
1968 can be considered historic for the computer industry. It was then founded by Intel, which began my career with the development of microprocessor Intel 4004. It was then that Officer of the American Research Center Xerox Palo Alto Research Center Alan Kay tried to reinvent the future: he introduced the idea of portable computing community computing machine, which was supposed to have a size of a notebook, keep on indoor surfaces with all the necessary information to the user, have a flat and thin display and be able to work in wireless networks of the future.
Dynabook (namely the so-called his child, Alan Kay) should be accessible to anyone with a need for such a computer. Due to a strong acceleration of the pace of technological progress at the end of the last century, this project seemed fantastic in the era of mainframe computers, was implemented during the lifetime of its author.
Alan Kaye can be called one of the most creative inventors and pioneers of the computer world. That he belongs to the authorship of the world’s first client-server system, a laser printer, multi graphical user interface technology and Ethernet. Now, working on this article on the laptop, I feel great respect for the man who is “father” of all modern laptop computers.
