The real Neil
We all know Neil Gershenfeld as the originator of fablab, but are you aware he really is a great researcher and scholar at MIT ?
Prof. dr. Neil A. Gershenfeld :
‘His research studies are predominantly focused in interdisciplinary studies involving physics and computer science, in such fields as quantum computing, nanotechnology and personal fabrication.’(Wikipedia)
That showed. Last week he gave a smashing keynote address at the Smoocon 2016 Hackers Convention. Stipulating where Turing and Von Neumann were wrong. Things like that…. One hour and 2min46.
Bart Bakker had to view it twice to grasp its meaning; it made him feel like a cronopio. (Julio Cortázar, Historias de cronopios y de famas, Buenos Aires, 1962).
