Future of Coding

link request: does anyone know off the top of their head one or two of the alan kay talks where he demonstrates the sketchpad bridge and weight system, and then points out that his presentation interface is designed with the same principles and he clicks a button and all its chrome collapses under “gravity”

I feel like thats almost every talk in the last few years he’s given. One example - <https://youtu.be/D43PlUr1x_E?t=1777>

that talk got 220k views btw, which is awesome

it's wild i was going through all of yoshiki ohshima’s uploads and finding none of them—good to know there are a lot more talks/sources nowadays 

wait… this video doesn't include the “collapse” part—I know he references sketchpad in basically every talk
