The End of Computing

Professor Emeritus

*CREATE Distinguished Lecture

Abstract:
I discuss three broad rubrics for tracking the history and future of computing. 
First, I explore computing and nature – analyzing several attempts to naturalize the computer.  
Second, I look at computing and time, arguing that we (humans) are moving into uncharted ontological territory.   
Third, I examine classification and computing.  I conclude with grounds for optimism.
