The main thing I learned from the article is how personal computers came to be. There came a time when it was time to find a way for everyone to have access to a computer. It shows how all the technology we have now got created. It was similar to the invention of television. It was out of necessity. I thought the article did a good job forecasting the advantages that personal computers can provide for a person.
I found the idea of Smalltalk to be interesting because it shows how a computer can run complex programs. The fact that a language was created specifically for computers shows how advanced this creation was. This is why we depend on computers for everything. Anyone who has had a computer crash knows how important they are in our everyday lives. A person can take that a step further and wonder what our lives would be like if we didn't have computers.
I never really pictured a computer being able to advance a persdon's skills but I guess it does have the capability to do that. For example, a person who can't draw will find drawing much easier on a computer. This shows how computers are not only for storing information. They can actually be used as a tool to improve a skill that a person wants to improve.
