Chapman University to Host Intertwingled: A Celebration of the Work and Influence of Computer Iconoclast Ted Nelson

Posted on by

Orange, CA (PRWEB) April 03, 2014

Internet computing iconoclast Theodor Ted Nelson, Ph.D., will have his lifes work honored at Chapman University on April 24, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the publication of his book Computer Lib. In a conference called Intertwingled, Nelsons more than 50 years of influence in the world of personal and academic computing will be celebrated in talks by a dozen of todays leaders in technology and creativity. The event is open to the public.

It is not well known that Nelson invented movie editing by computer and realistic computer graphics, for which he filed early patent applications. Among Nelsons more notorious contributions throughout the advancement of the computer age are coining the terms hypertext and hypermedia among others, authoring several books such as Computer Lib, Literary Machines, Geeks Bearing Gifts and Possiplex, and he has spent more than 50 years working on his vision of a connected document world called Xanadu. Nelson was a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Chapman University during fall 2013, when he taught an Honors course entitled Cinema of the Mind.

Ted is a very unique individualhe formulated his ideas before the world was ready to understand them, but that has not deterred him from continuing to believe in a different future for the world of computing, said Daniele Struppa, Chancellor, Chapman University. Irreverent, and yet tender, he is the modern/high tech version of Don Quixote, and I say this with the greatest admiration for the immortal creation of Cervantes, continued Struppa.

Participants in the conference include notables in the tech world, including Turing Award winner (equivalent to a Nobel Prize in Computer Science) Alan Kay, creator of the Smalltalk programming language - the inspiration for todays windowing based systems; and who is best known for coining the phrase, "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." Also participating is Dame Wendy Hall, former president of the Association for Computing Machinery and one of the first computer scientists to undertake serious research in multimedia, hypermedia and digital libraries.

The book being celebrated, Computer Lib, made the outrageous claim in 1974 that personal computing, computer graphics, interaction and hypertext would fuse into an oncoming wave that would revolutionize the worldabsurd, most people thought, said Nelson. After 40 years of Computer Lib being very right, here we are in a soup of resulting super-problems. Now theyre listening to me again, Nelson continued.

The son of show business parents his mother was an Oscar winning actress and his father an Emmy winning director Nelson initially was a filmmaker, actor, and author of a rock musical and numerous plays and periodicals. As early as 1960, he envisioned a world in which all mediadocuments, films, etc.would be connected and interacting with one another on a vast system of computers. Nelson coined the term intertwingled to express the philosophical complexity of the world and the difficulty of representing it.

Dr. Ted Nelsons book Computer Lib had a considerable influence on the personal computing world in its infancy. Nelsons effect on the development of hypertext systems has led the Association for Computing Machinerys Hypertext Conference to awarding the Ted Nelson Newcomer Award annually.

Other speakers at Intertwingled include: Jaron Lanier Christine Borgman Ken Knowlton Frode Hegland Kazuhiko Nishi Dan Rosenberg Brewster Kahle Andrew Pam Dick Heiser Rob Akscyn Belinda Barnet Noah Wardrip-Fruin

Intertwingled takes place April 24, at Chapman University, in Argyros Forum. More information can be found at http://www.chapman.edu/intertwingled.

On April 2, 2014, the sun emitted a mid-level solar flare, peaking at 10:05 a.m. EDT, and NASAs Solar Dynamics Observatory captured imagery of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earths atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however when intense enough they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.

To see how this event may impact Earth, please visit NOAAs Space Weather Prediction Center at http://spaceweather.gov, the U.S. governments official source for space weather forecasts, alerts, watches and warnings.

This flare is classified as an M6.5 flare. M-class flares are ten times less powerful than the most intense flares, which are labeled X-class. The number after the M provides more information about its strength. An M2 is twice as intense as an M1, an M3 is three times as intense, etc.

Updates will be provided as needed.

National Air and Space Museum Receives $30 Million from Boeing

Posted on by

The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum announced that Boeing is donating $30 million to support the museum's educational activities and exhibitions, including an extensive renovation of its main hall, "Milestones of Flight." It will be completed in time for the museum's 40th anniversary in 2016, which is also the aerospace company's 100th anniversary. The expanded exhibition will trace the interconnected stories of the world's most significant aircraft and spacecraft, with digital displays and a mobile experience in a new design that stretches from one entrance to the other, Independence Avenue to Jefferson Drive (National Mall).

"We are grateful to Boeing for this magnificent contribution," said Museum Director Gen. J.R. "Jack" Dailey. "It will enable us to create an exciting new exhibition concept inspired by innovators, from the Wright brothers to today's space explorers, and to develop educational experiences for generations of innovators to come."

"We're honored to help preserve the legacy of pioneers who transformed an industry and influenced generations of innovators," said Boeing Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney. "By supporting the National Air and Space Museum with the renovation and expansion of the gallery, we hope to inspire others to dream, design and build the next game changers in aerospace history."

In appreciation for the gift, the museum will rename the gallery the "Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall." Boeing has made numerous other gifts to the Smithsonian during the years, in excess of $64 million total, with $58 million to the National Air and Space Museum. One of the exhibition spaces at the museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va., is named the Boeing Aviation Hangar.

The Milestones exhibition, which is the museum's central and largest space, has looked much the same since the museum opened July 1, 1976. More than 310 million people have passed through the exhibition during the museum's 38 years of operation. The new installation will give the hall a streamlined "21st century" look and features themes and displays suited to today's visitors. The square footage of the exhibition will be enlarged and the displays will take full advantage of the atrium's two-story height.

In reenvisioning and renovating its Milestones exhibition, the museum aims to deepen visitors' understanding of how aviation and spaceflight have transformed the world. Since humans learned to fly, transportation has gotten faster and distant places more accessible. Advances in planetary exploration have made the universe seem larger, altering humans' ideas about themselves and the world. When the museum opened nearly four decades ago, the word "milestone" was defined as "the first" in flight or space travel. Now, the word will describe an artifact having significant or widespread cultural, historic, scientific or technological impact.

Key artifacts in the expanded hall, selected because they tell multiple stories, will be organized to connect themes. Some of the objects, such as the Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis," the Bell X-1 "Glamorous Glennis" and Mercury "Friendship 7," will be familiar to visitors because they already reside in the gallery. But other icons-the huge Apollo Lunar Module, for example, the Telstar satellite and the model of the "Starship Enterprise" used in the Star Trek television series-will be surprises.

One of the most engaging differences will be the addition of a media wall and kiosks, which will enable visitors to view artifacts in different contexts, look them up by topic or theme and connect to other sources of information. A new sign system will help visitors find other artifacts and galleries more easily, and a larger, more centrally located Welcome Center will allow the museum to assist larger numbers of visitors more quickly and efficiently.

In addition to the Milestones project, the Boeing donation will fund upgrades and enhancements for several other galleries, including the museum's "How Things Fly" gallery, where children learn about the science and technology of flight through imaginatively designed displays staffed by high school and college students called "Explainers." In the gallery, children are encouraged to climb into the cockpit of a small airplane, make paper airplanes and view live demonstrations.
