George Dyson, a Historian of Technology, provided one of the most illuminating talks at ETech. Entitled “Turing’s Cathedral” it looked at the historical work of Leibniz and Von Neumann in bridging the world of logic and machines, taking the lessons from this, and where technology could lead us into the future. When you’re surrounded by the new applications and ideas at ETech, to have this in a historical content and to see what these prophets foretold of our future.
