Technology and society

Written in 1945 by Vannevar Bush and entitled "As we may think", it is considered a classic in the field of computer science and one of the seeds of the Internet.

A second thought-provoking article is "The computers of tomorrow" by Martin Greenberger, which appeared in 1964 in The Atlantic. It discusses future uses of computers.

Bill Joy, a prominent computer engineer with Sun Microsystems, wrote a provoking article "Why the future doesn't need us" a few years back in Wired. I didn't finish reading it then, though I probably should. Maybe I'll do that this week.

Lastly, News.com talks about computers are entering a new phase in life.
