An Interview with Computing Pioneer Alan Kay<=r>By David Greelish

Born in 1940, computer scientist Alan Curtis Kay is =ne of a handful of visionaries most responsible for the concepts which hav= propelled personal computing forward over the past thirty years — and s=rely the most quotable one.

He's the man who said that "The best way to pred=ct the future is to invent it" and that "Technology is anything that w=sn't around when you were born" and that "If you don't fail at lea=t 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough." And when I f=rst saw Microsoft's Surface tablet last June, a Kay maxim helped me unde=stand it: "People who are really serious about software should make thei= own hardware."

Above all, however, Kay is known for the Dynabook =97 his decades-old vision of a portable suite of hardware, software, progr=mming tools and services which would add up to the ultimate creative envir=nment for kids of all ages. Every modern portable computer reflects elemen=s of the Dynabook concept — the One Laptop Per Child project's XO abov= all others — and yet none of them have fully realized the concept which=Kay was writing about in the early 1970s.

Actually, Kay says that some gadgets with superficia= Dynabook-like qualities, such as the iPad, have not only failed to realiz= the Dynabook dream, but have in some senses betrayed it. That's one of =he points he makes in this interview, conducted by computer historian Davi= Greelish, proprietor of the Classic Computing Blog and organizer of this =onth's Vintage Computer Festival Southeast in Atlanta. (The Festival wit= feature a pop-up Apple museum featuring Xerox's groundbreaking Alto wor=station, which Kay worked on, as well as devices which deeply reflected hi= influence, including the Lisa, the original Macintosh and the Newton.)

Kay and Greelish also discuss Kay's experiences at=some of the big outfits where he's worked, including Xerox's fabled PA=C labs, Apple, Disney and HP. Today, Kay continues his research about chil=ren and technology at his own organization, the Viewpoints Research Instit=te.

## —Harry McCracken

=avid Greelish: Do you agree that we now essentially have the Dynabook, as =xpressed in the three tiers of modern personal computing; the notebook, ta=let and smartphone? If not, what critical features do you see missing from=these? Have they delivered on the promise of improving education?

Alan Kay: I have been asked versions of this questio= for the last twenty years or so. Ninety-five percent of the Dynabook idea=was a "service conception," and five percent had to do with physical f=rms, of which only one — the slim notebook — is generally in the publi= view. (The other two were an extrapolated version of Ivan Sutherland's =ead mounted display, and an extrapolated version of Nicholas Negroponte'= ideas about ubiquitous computers embedded and networked everywhere.)
