I think flexibility was the most important idea Bernie presented. You must be available for flexible hours, flexible to travel to a job for a client, flexibilty to learn and keep up to date with new immerging technologies

The most interesting things I learned in todays lecture was the origin of some of the most widely used technologies computer related such as hypertext and the Internet and we also saw these in heir most primative stages. We saw the first ever video confernce by Doug Engelbart and I also thought the shift and transition from the perception of computers and what their function was at that time was very interestng.

Doug Engelbarts most important innovations were the creation of the mouse, named simply because it had a tail, he was the fisrt to use cathode ray tube for the display of text.He is credited with pioneering online computing and email and he became prominent as a pioneer of the digital age. Personally I dont think any one of Doug Engelbarts innovations can be singled out as they were all ground breaking and extremely important in the future

Personally I bleieve that Vanevar Bush's predictions were the basis of a wide variety of technologies which are used by millions every day and he was also the inspiration for many other inovative peolpe i years to follow such as Ted Nelson andDoug Engelbart. His concept's put forward in 'As We May Think' were years ahead of its time such as dry photography, a facsimile machine, hypertext which would eventually become hugely important in the development of computers and the Memex which provided the concept of a machine for organizing files and making them easily and spedily accessible and could also be edited. Bush's predictions laiddown the foundation for modern technology
