This talk explores past visions of computing that have shaped our modern technological landscape. Through a historical lens, we dismantle the erroneous notion that technology is an inevitable force of nature. Beneath the tools we use every day lies a web of compromises made by other people working within the constraints of their time. Recognizing these choices gives us the agency to consciously shape where technology goes next.
