Why two colors? A green ribbon was used when the user typed, and
the black ribbon was used when the computer responded this was
on typewriters I love learning stuff I didn't know about. I was
researching the source of #linkedlist - a #concept I'm trying to
really wrap my brain around thoroughly (not its limitations but
why it's so powerful) - and I came across John Clifford Shaw,
who invented the concept while doing the first
#ArtificialIntelligence work. His team of three interviewed
loads of people to try to understand "How Humans Think" and then
get that into a computer somehow. Well, he went on to invent a
language called #JOSS which is all but forgotten. JOSS was their
attempt at creating a language so easy to use that YOU DIDN'T
NEED A PROGRAMMER ANYMORE Well it worked too well. All the users
started teaching other users how to use it. From Secretaries to
big bosses had their typewriters hooked into the system, and
they were happily chatting away with the computer. If the
computer didn't understand you, it would simply say, "*Eh?*"
Awesome stuff. Just... awesome stuff.?[1]JOSS_Session
