IS DIGITAL CULTURE SECULAR?: ON ROOKS RY MARIO CARPO AND ANTOINE PICON

摘要

As an undergraduate at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the mid-1980s, I took an early morning class in computer programming. For homework, students were given a mathematical problem, the solution to which you were expected to derive algorithmically and write up in FORTRAN. You would then input the code at one of the many Courier terminals around campus, from which it would be conveyed to an IBM mainframe computer.
