Nor am I going to talk about what I think are obvious statements from my first book, "Silicon Snake Oil," or my second book, nor am I going to talk about why I believe computers don't belong in schools.

I feel that there's a massive and bizarre idea going around that we have to bring more computers into schools.

Well, notice one very significant phrase I used above: they are a step-by-step way to solve a problem, and as you probably know, computers excel at step-by-step processes.

And since computers are such a pervasive part of everyday life, algorithms are everywhere.

Our first step is, since we use computers to do this, we need to assign numerical values to ideas like "somewhat important" and "very important," because computers need everything in numbers.

Back then, there were no personal computers, no Internet, no smartphones.

Today, every student who is visually impaired can read textbooks, by using personal computers and mobile devices, in Braille or in voice.

In the 1970's, our ever-growing big data was distributed across different sets of computers, which mushroomed at CERN.

During the early 2000's, the continued growth of our big data outstripped our capability to analyze it at CERN, despite having buildings full of computers.

Typically, algorithms are executed by computers, but we humans have algorithms as well.

At the end of the day, whether executed by computers or humans, algorithms are just a set of instructions with which to solve problems.

Nowadays, we test the speed of computers by having them calculate pi, and quantum computers have been able to calculate it up to two quadrillion digits.

The hardware engineer who created the computers, knowing that they were intended to enable an attack?

I'm not sure anyone knows the answer to that question, yet fantastical, fictional worlds are created everyday in our minds, on computers, even on napkins at the restaurant down the street.

You're amplifying it with very powerful computers.

However, computers have the same static physical form for all of these different applications and the same static interface elements as well.

But mobile devices, just like computers, are used for so many different applications.

So, in conclusion, I really think that we need to think about a new, fundamentally different way of interacting with computers.

We need computers that can physically adapt to us and adapt to the ways that we want to use them and really harness the rich dexterity that we have of our hands, and our ability to think spatially about information by making it physical.

The Turing test was first proposed by this guy, Alan Turing, in 1950, in order to answer the question, can computers think?

So far we've had humans that write like humans, we have computers that write like computers, we have computers that write like humans, but we also have, perhaps most confusingly, humans that write like computers.

So my second insight is that, when we take the Turing test for poetry, we're not really testing the capacity of the computers because poetry-generating algorithms, they're pretty simple and have existed, more or less, since the 1950s.

And that means that we need a radically, radically more diverse set of people to build those products, to not see computers as mechanical and lonely and boring and magic, to see them as things that they can tinker and turn around and twist, and so forth.

And I started to be one of those people who felt that computers are boring and technical and lonely.

Little girls don't know that they are not supposed to like computers.

And they don't know that they are not supposed to like computers.

And we as a community, we've made computers smaller and smaller.

We've built layers and layers of abstraction on top of each other between the man and the machine to the point that we no longer have any idea how computers work or how to talk to them.

Computer scientists built these amazing, beautiful machines, but they made them very, very foreign to us, and also the language we speak to the computers so that we don't know how to speak to the computers anymore without our fancy user interfaces.

But unless we give them tools to build with computers, we are raising only consumers instead of creators.
