“ Will people stop programming, either because every possible program has been written or because neural networks will replace programmable circuits? ”
And the bet about Fortran:
“ In 30 years time the CERN Computing School will celebrate its 50th anniversary. If I had to pick one thing likely to still be alive 30 years from now I would choose FORTRAN. It is as safe a bet as to predict that everything else is going to change.”
I always associated cern with World Wide Web (www) and Next Computer used there. But it must have a lot of innovation and helping the developing of IT world at large.
