what i specifically like about this clip is all the little micro-expressions on alan's face.

# Portable Portrait: Alan Kay (1990) - #tags: #alan_kay #youtube #balance #harmony #stress #individual #society - - this is quite a interesting video in which alan kay shows his "pocket he uses to travel, - I used to be a professional guitarist, AK: "for me the experience of playing music ... feeling like a conduit" - using a transparent bag to avoid the messiness of the office - What do you need for Balance (at the end) - ALL the stuff on the table (he calls it stress reduction stuff) to make him feel he as a balanced day even when he doesn't , in fact he uses the word stress

It gives hints how strange from a - humane - perspective life in technology can be.

On the topic of content I would like to refre back to MarshallMcLuhan who was also very often quoted by Alan. I recently listened to an interview by his Grandson. It was a bit strange but also very insightful in many aspects, to your point also abou thte topic of "content - in the idea that the future is in our hands"

greetings from germany have good day 🙂
