 JOT: Journal of Object Technology - Learning is a Community Experience
Much of the demand to learn about computers is to be able to use and extend productivity tools and to be able to program, and not necessarily to understand a mathematical theory of computation.
There is another point of view that says that computer science education is not about becoming a skilled programmer, and so one’s programming skills are not the real measure of success as a computer scientist.

A scientist is a person who is expert in an area of science and who uses scientific methods in research.
Mathematical discoveries generally appear to be arrived at differently than scientific ones, and experiments as they are usually conceived are unable to supply mathematical proof.
Yet the class of people called "scientists" includes theorists who never do experiments, and even pure experimentalists often employ mathematics and deduction to arrive at their conclusions.

In her 40 years in computing, Admiral Hopper made important contributions to the field that developed "the machine that assisted the power of the brain rather than muscle." First Debugging In 1951 she discovered the first computer "bug." It was a real moth, which she pasted into the UNIVAC I logbook.
As a lieutenant assigned to the Bureau of Ordnance Computation Project at Harvard University, Adm. Hopper was thrust into the world of computing as a programmer on the first large scale digital computer, the Mark I. Mustered out of the Navy in 1946, she remained at Harvard as a faculty member in the computation laboratory.
The award of $1,000 is given for contributions to computer and digital systems architecture where the field of computer architecture is considered at present to encompass the combined hardware-software design and analysis of computing and digital systems.

Chapters discuss computers in Germany (especially the work of Conrad Zuse), Bessie—the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (Howard Aiken and IBM’s work with the Mark I and II at Harvard), computers at Bell Labs, the development of the ENIAC, progressing to the first generation, and a summation.
There is discussion of Stibitz and the Bell Labs computers, the work of Aiken at Harvard and Zuse in Germany, the codebreaking development of the “bombe” and “Heath Robinson” machines in Britain, the Colossus, the Atanasoff story, and chapters on both the ENIAC and EDVAC machines.
This is a heavily “designed” book, including some “computer style” text that is difficult to read, but the chief attraction is the illustrations of computers, related hardware (such as very early mouse devices) and computers within their social context–early pictures of computers at use, including as features in motion pictures.

 The Early History of Smalltalk
It became the exemplar of the new computing, in part, because we were actually trying for a qualitative shift in belief structures--a new Kuhnian paradigm in the same spirit as the invention of the printing press-and thus took highly extreme positions which almost forced these new styles to be invented.
Instead of dividing "computer stuff" into things each less strong than the whole--like data structures, procedures, and functions which are the usual paraphernalia of programming languages--each Smalltalk object is a recursion on the entire possibilities of the computer.
Adele decided to drive the documentation and release process for a new Smalltalk that could be distributed widely almost regardless of the target hardware.

Developing a computer which was an order of magnitude easier to use than traditional computers required several major departures, not all of which were obvious.

Putting all mediums within a single computer environment does not necessary erases all differences in what various mediums can represent and how they are perceived – but it does bring them closer to each other in a number of ways.
Alan Turing theoretically defined a computer as a machine that can simulate a very large class of other machines, and it is this simulation ability that is largely responsible for the proliferation of computers in modern society.
The subsequent generations of computer scientists, hackers, and designers added many more properties – but this process is far from finished.

 Smalltalk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smalltalk is a dynamically typed object oriented programming language designed at Xerox PARC by Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls, Ted Kaehler, Adele Goldberg, and others during the 1970s.
Smalltalk is in continuing active development, and has gathered a loyal community of users around it.
Smalltalk has been a great influence on the development of many other computer languages, including: Objective-C, Actor, Java and Ruby (the latter one to such an extent that many Smalltalkers consider Ruby to be Smalltalk with a different syntax).

LOGO, the computer language developed by Papert, his colleague Wallace Fuerzing, and others at MIT and at the consulting firm of Bolt, Bernack & Newman, was created for a purpose that was shockingly different from the purposes that had motivated the creation of previous computer languages.
In March, 1977, Alan Kay and Adele Goldberg condensed a PARC technical report into an article, the title of which described both the dream and the reality of the Smalltalk branch of the PARC project: "Personal Dynamic Media" was published in a magazine named Computer, during a time when computer magazines were for specialists.

His concept of the Dynabook lap-top computer was the inspiration of Alto, a forerunner of the Apple and Macintosh computers.
Kay was a founding member of the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in 1970, leaving ten years later to become chief scientist at Atari, Inc. He joined the Apple Computer Company in 1984 as an Apple Fellow, a title held by a select group of scientists chartered to explore technology for Apple's future.
It was the first personal computer to provide direct support for a programming language that included the use of graphics, as well as of simulation--the ability to dynamically model the interactions of objects and processes in a particular domain.

The received wisdom is that Xerox muffed the chance to dominate the personal computer era by allowing revolutionary technologies developed at PARC to be snatched up by strangers and rivals (most famously, Apple, which took the mouse and the graphical user interface from PARC).
Finally, a number of visionaries in various universities and labs were pursuing a wide array of fundamental innovations; these included the development of "software" for graphical user interfaces, the "mouse" control to execute commands with a cursor on a television-like screen, and many other devices.
Over the next three years, CSL created the Alto, the first programmable personal computer that was user friendy: with mouse, a graphics-oriented monitor, with "icons" and overlapping "pages", an object-oriented programming language and even an ethernet capabilty.
