QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;ii- "A programming language can be more than just a passive medium for communication. QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;7 "The mind must have something structural to manipulate QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;9 "Perceptual images, particularly visual images, provide more descriptive power than do words" QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;11 "But 'linear' programming languages have no spatial structure at all.
21 ;;Quote: thought processes abstract information to a skeleton of relevant features QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;35 Picasso, Pablo: "to copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic"
47 ;;Quote: Unimate robots programmed by a trainer guiding the robot through the desired steps QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;49 Stanford AI lab debugger (raid) continuous display of several memory locations re-executing patched code
57 ;;Quote: in a movie, what happens between frames is more important that what exists on a frame
57+;;Quote: the source of information in a movie is picture changes
61 ;;Quote: incremental computing is the best for creativity QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;61 painters dab on a bit of paint and then step back to look at the result
63 ;;Quote: program Papert's turtle by stepping through the program with a button box; start remembering, do it, repeat, etc.
65 ;;Quote: 4-year olds can program PYGMALION with subroutines, recursion, and iteration; often error free
70 ;;Quote: PYGMALION constructs a program as a side effect of the user performing a calculation; allows better understanding
73 ;;Quote: an icon is a picture with attributes for position, definition, name, code, value QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;75 text editors generally error free program even though prog. language [cbb: but in command mode]
77 ;;Quote: Pygmalion uses a three button mouse that depends on context; for cursor positioning and moving values
79 ;;Quote: a Pygmalion icon acts like a window; has a origin; can form a hierarchical structure with world icon at root
82 ;;Quote: the menu shows all possible operations on displayed icons; self-teaching, avoids remembering options QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;82 most operations are reversible QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;88 don't have to specify all paths-- if path unspecified at execution time then machine prompts user for more info QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;89 "The standard mode for writing programs is what other systems consider to be debugging mode
92 ;;Quote: in Smalltalk, every object has a class; semantics by the messages handled by a class
95 ;;Quote: icons are expressive because they are abstract in content but concrete in shape QuoteRef: smitDC6_1975 ;;103 Naming by typing name into mouse then move mouse to some other icon
