More quotes by Alan Kay
Television should be the last mass communication medium to be naively designed and put into the world without a surgeon-general's warning.
Alan Kay

I've heard complaints from even mighty Stanford University with its illustrious faculty that basically the undergraduate computer science program is little more than Java certification.
Alan Kay
The greatest single programming language ever designed
Alan Kay
The result is - document destruction - we're really not going to be able to prove beyond a truth the negatives and some of the positive conclusions that we're going to come to. There will be always unresolved ambiguity here.
Alan Kay
Artificial intelligence is what we don't know how to do yet
Alan Kay

Alan Kay
Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do. The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
Alan Kay
Possibly the only real object-oriented system in working order. (About Internet)
Alan Kay
A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points. Perspective is worth 80 IQ points. Point of view is worth 80 IQ points
