Computing History
- this is a 1996 guide on how to help someone use a computer. it’s strikingly resonant with ‘how to be a parent’, or really ‘how to help anyone with anything’. a nice example of “the universal within the particular”

We all started in the same place
you are in today.
Everyone has the same self
doubts and no one’s perfect.
And when you meet your heroes
and when you work with them
and they treat you as a peer,
learn from it.
Keep moving. If you’re
dreaming the right dream,
you’re on the right path.
I’ve been there before,
it’s tough, keep going.
These people helped me
to become the person I am.
How can we take this same idea
of bold dramatic change
to help create a better society?
We are going to have
to invent those things
and do it in all of these other domains that are
being touched or revolutionized by technology.
It may seem daunting, it may seem difficult,
it may seem impossible,
but if you just find the right people
and keep seeking out
knowledge and advice
keep staying open
to make a better world
regardless of where you come from,
great things can happen.
— Tony Fadell, co-creator of the iPod & iPhone
