1991 - A Summary of My Work Modes and Objectives - Norman White
Texto
Here'es an idea that I first presented to at a 1991 Banff conference entitled "Bioapparatus". Summarizing my work and objectives I ended with. "If I could, I would build a working computers out of rubber bands and paper clips." One of the attendees responded that it had already been done...with Mecanno parts. However, for me this is cheating...Mecanno is already very structure and maximal flexibility.
7. If I could, I would build a working computer'
out of rubber bands and paper clips
A friend, Rob Erlich, and I have already embarked on this project but we haven't got very far...we've been able to assemble logic inverters and simple logic gates. However, I'd like to throw this out as challenge to all those people out there who understand the difference betwnn hi-tech hardware and cutting-edge ideas... that you don't need one to have the other.
Oh yeah, and it's OK to use thumbtacks.
Best, Norm
