if a sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, is a sufficiently mundane technology indistinguishable from its context?
ex: nobody thinks of language as a technology but here we are with a decentralized system of overlapping transient protocols that we use to hack each other’s brains because we literally cannot imagine a society without communication
Spoken languages vs Software languages:
For complex ideas translation between English and French is not perfect, translation transforms the information... you can not express the exact same thing in different languages.
Software, however can be “perfectly translated” you could implement the same application in Python as you can in JavaScript.
In this two min YouTube video I’m #blacksmithing a monogrammed bottle opener for Warren Sack for a guest lecture I did in his digital media class as UCSC : https://youtu.be/B0QAys7Gyg0
I’m Lyle Troxell from Santa Cruz, CA. I’m a software engineer, podcaster, maker, photographer, and father. I’m currently improving my blacksmithing skills, researching software arts / translation, and refreshing my JavaScript knowledge.
I work at Netflix on the iOS App, and create the WeAreNetflix podcast as well as my personal podcast “Geek Speak with Lyle Troxell”. I try to keep up on technology and how it affects society. #introduction
