Climate change & digitalization - what are the connections? Most often, digitalization is seen as the solution for problems caused by industrial age. But both are more entangled than you might think. History of computing in the Anthropocene www.uni-paderborn.de/en/lehre/leh... #digitalgeschichte
Books on one specific year were a thing lately: 1979, by Frank Bösch, 1977 by Philipp Sarasin, Karl Schlögel’s Moscow 1937. Eventually, we have one for the history of computing: William Aspray’s 1920 focusing on the history of information in one particular year in the US #digitalgeschichte
Das wäre ein super Projekt! Die Geschichte der Uni-Rechenzentren ist sogar recht gut dokumentiert. Meist schreibt besagter Bernd-Uwe auch eine kleine Geschichte auf. Beim Projekt dürfen wir aber die DDR nicht vergessen: www.cms.hu-berlin.de/de/ueberblic... #digitalgeschichte #historyofcomputing
And now the team entered the stage: impressive results of 4 years of research on history of AI! Some early findings & an insight into how to do research on that. All the best for the books! @dinp.bsky.social, Helen Piel, Rudi Seising, Jakob Tschandl & Florian Müller #Digitalgeschichte
Now starting: The final conference of the wonderful project on the "History of AI in Germany" (IGGI: Ingenieure des Geistes – Geistesingenieure) at the Deutsches Museum, Munich. Looking back to four years of research on #historyofcomputing #Digitalgeschichte @dinp.bsky.social #historyoftechnology
50 years since Brian Randell’s “the origins of digital computers”. A seminal work of the #historyofcomputing and technology. Not only the history of digitalization is already going on since a while but also its historiography. #digitalgeschichte blog.hnf.de/die-urspruen...
Joseph Weizenbaum and left wing criticism of capitalism, war, bureaucracy in Berlin in 1979/80 - one other legacy of the prominent AI scientist @ultrabeige.bsky.social hold an amazing talk about a this certain scene #digitalgeschichte #historyofcomputing #histscitech @weizenbauminstitut.bsky.social
Peripheral? About the structural changes in regional settings: start to a conference on contemporary regional history at the HNF in #paderborn What an amazing location at the former headquarter of the Nixdorf Computer company. #digitalgeschichte #historyofcomputing
ERROR! About non-functioning and mistakes in digital societies. Check out the program of this semesters lecture series by Martina Heßler at TU Darmstadt! #digitalgeschichte #historiesofcomputing
Floppy disk covers as cultural symbols: what a nice find! #digitalgeschichte
Oh what a beautiful suggestion! I didn’t know the text by Turkle and Papert. Thanks! I decided now for the text by Sybille Krämer on Lovelace as programmer and the introductory literature in my screenshot.
But do you know a good edition of the original code commented by Lovelace? #digitalgeschichte
