……在曼哈顿计划期间曾与计算机打交道，师从费曼。他在 1960 年代中期就倡导普及计算机素养。关于他的故事绝对值得一读。大概在 90 到 91 年间，我偶然弄到了一本 Kemeny 写的《Man and the Computer》（http://www.amazon.com/Man-Computer-John-Kemeny/dp/0684130432），当时彻底把我迷住了。后来我又重新读了一遍，虽然 Kemeny 的很多预测后来并没有实现，但……
…worked with computers under Feynman during the Manhattan Project. He argued for widespread computer literacy in the mid-1960's. He's worth reading about, for sure. I happened into a copy of Kemeny's book "Man and the Computer" (http://www.amazon.com/Man-Computer-John-Kemeny/dp/0684130432) sometime around 90-91, and it fascinated me. I've gone back and read it since and, while many of Kemeney's predictions didn't hold up, the…
找得好！达特茅斯（Dartmouth）当年是给他们的大型机分时系统搞出了最初的 BASIC，苹果和其他微机的各种衍生版本都是后来的事了。顺便提一句，John G. Kemeny 写的《Man and the Computer》非常精彩，介绍了什么是计算机、分时系统是如何运作的，以及 BASIC 设计背后的思路。
Good find, Dartmouth was the original BASIC for their mainframe timesharing, Apple and other micro variants came later. Speaking of, John G. Kemeny's book "Man and the Computer" is a fantastic read, introducing what computers are, how time sharing works, and the thinking behind the design of BASIC.
Kemeny 是个挺有意思的人。他是达特茅斯 BASIC 语言开发双子星之一。我觉得他的《Man and the Computer》这本书尤其有先见之明。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Kemeny https://archive.org/details/mancomputer00keme
Kemeny is an interesting fellow. He is part of the duo responsible for the BASIC language (at Dartmouth). I found his book "Man and the Computer" particularly prescient. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Kemeny https://archive.org/details/mancomputer00keme

哇。他的见解真是有深度。比如（在众多例子中）：桌面显示与控制：毫无疑问，为了实现有效的人机交互，人与计算机必须能够在同一个显示表面上绘制图表、图像，并互相书写注释和方程。人应该能够以粗略但迅速的方式向计算机呈现一个函数，只需画出……
