The importance of personal computing
alexanderobenauer.com
Personal computing is one of the most important things humanity has ever built.
Personal computers — in all forms: desktops, smartphones, tablets, and so forth — are capable of helping you:
- Connect with resources to learn virtually anything already known;
- Connect and collaborate with others, across the globe;
- Create new things and share creations with others;
- Visualize, reconsider, and reconfigure your thinking, information, and processes;
- Develop and explore your own thinking.
That last one is an incredible thought: plenty of things let you explore someone else’s thinking, but personal computers can help you explore your own thinking, giving you living spaces to externalize, review, expand, and refine your thoughts on the things that matter most to you.
