Dynabook. The KiddiComp concept, envisioned by Alan Kay in 1968 while a PhD candidate, [2] [3] and later developed and described as the Dynabook in his 1972 proposal "A personal computer for children of all ages", [1] outlines the requirements for a conceptual portable educational device that would offer similar functionality to that now ...
David Canfield Smith. Alan Curtis Kay (born May 17, 1940) [1] is an American computer scientist best known for his pioneering work on object-oriented programming and windowing graphical user interface (GUI) design. At Xerox PARC he led the design and development of the first modern windowed computer desktop interface.
Toshiba T1000SE (1985) and DynaBook J-3100SS (1989). The dynabook was a portable computer concept first introduced by Alan C. Kay in the 1960s and 1970s. Tetsuya Mizoguchi, an executive in Toshiba's mainframe computer division, read Kay's paper "Personal Dynamic Media" in the March 1977 IEEE Computer; and inspired by the concept of a computer that could be carried and used by anyone of any age ...
Alan Kay of Xerox PARC publishes: "A personal computer for children of all ages" describing and detailing possible uses for his Dynabook concept. However, the device was never built. 1978 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is broadcast as a radio comedy on BBC Radio 4. The series was named after a fictional touch screen electronic tablet used ...
Smalltalk is a purely object oriented programming language (OOP) that was originally created in the 1970s for educational use, specifically for constructionist learning, but later found use in business. It was created at Xerox PARC by Learning Research Group (LRG) scientists, including Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls, Adele Goldberg, Ted Kaehler, Diana ...
It drew heavily on earlier research by Alan Kay, who had previously developed the Dynabook project. While the Dynabook was a concept for a transportable computer that was impossible to implement with available technology, the NoteTaker was intended to show what could be done. Description

Ingalls' first well known research was at Xerox PARC, where he began a lifelong research association with Alan Kay, and did his award-winning work on Smalltalk. As Peter Siebel wrote about Dan in his book Coders at Work, Reflections on the Craft of Programming, "If Alan Kay is Smalltalk's father, Dan Ingalls is its mother—Smalltalk may have ...
