\nEste nu numai o lucrare cu tent\u0103 biografic\u0103, ci \u015fi \u015ftiin\u0163ific\u0103, care prezint\u0103 modul cum computerul personal \u015fi internetul \u015fi telefonul inteligent au ap\u0103rut din min\u0163ile lui Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, Robert Noyce, Tim Berners-Lee, Bill Gates, Larry Page sau a lui Jimmy Wales.<\/p>\n
\nMi-a pl\u0103cut faptul c\u0103 Isaacson a prezentat \u00eentr-o istorie cu, s\u0103 recunoa\u015ftem, puternice accente masculine \u015fi contribu\u0163ia feminin\u0103, pentru c\u0103 primii pa\u015fi \u00een ceea ce ast\u0103zi numim programare au fost f\u0103cu\u0163i de femei – Ada Lovelace, fiica poetului Byron, care a conceput primul algoritm procesat de o ma\u015fin\u0103, Grace Hooper, cu o contribu\u0163ie major\u0103 la primele limbaje de programare, sau grupurile de doamne care s-au ocupat de programarea primelor calculatoare, mecanice, electromecanice sau cu l\u0103mpi (dar s\u0103 \u015fti\u0163i c\u0103 am v\u0103zut \u015fi puncte de vedere feministe care \u00eei repro\u015fau autorului anumite abord\u0103ri; nu insist, feministele pot scrie propriile lor volume).<\/p>\n
\nD\u00e2nd Cezarilor ce li se cuvine, cartea lui Isaacson este, totu\u015fi, o istorie a inginerilor, cu sau f\u0103r\u0103 diplom\u0103, a celor care au creat tran-zistorul, microcipul, procesoarele, PC-ul sau interfa\u0163a grafic\u0103. Multe fapte sunt cunoscute, dar cap\u0103t\u0103 o dinamic\u0103 aparte \u00een textul c\u0103r\u0163ii, iar rezultatul este pl\u0103cut, alert, instructiv. Capitolele \u0163in de cronologie \u015fi prezint\u0103 salturile mari: Computerul, Programarea, Tranzistorul, Microcipul, Jocurile video, Internetul, Computerul personal, Web; ultimul, \u201dDe-a pururi Ada\u201e, \u00eencerc\u0103 s\u0103 analizeze viito-rul evolu\u0163iei om-ma\u015fin\u0103, care isc\u0103 ast\u0103zi at\u00e2tea \u00eentreb\u0103ri. <\/p>\n
\nCe mai trebuie spus? Faptul c\u0103 nici m\u0103car v\u00e2rfuri precum Bill Gates, Steve Jobs sau Larry Page nu-\u015fi pot asuma deplin crea\u0163iile lor; o istorioar\u0103 din carte descrie exact ce vreau s\u0103 spun: unul dintre cofondatorii Twitter, Jack Dorsey, a \u00eenceput, la un moment dat, s\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi aroge o serie de merite \u00een interviuri, iar un alt cofondator, Evan Williams, i-a recomandat s\u0103 se calmeze. \u201dDar eu am inventat Twitter\u201e, a replicat Dorsey. Iar cel\u0103lalt i-a r\u0103spuns: \u201dNu, n-ai inventat tu Twitter. Nici eu. Nici Biz Stone. Oamenii nu inventeaz\u0103 lucruri pe internet. Doar dezvolt\u0103 o idee deja existent\u0103\u201e.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Progresul nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 numai salturi uria\u015fe, ci \u015fi sute de mici pa\u015fi, spune Walter Isaacson, pre\u015fedintele Aspen Institute, scriitor, fost pre\u015fedinte \u015fi CEO al CNN, autorul binecunoscutei biografii a lui Steve Jobs, dar \u015fi al istoriilor vie\u0163ilor lui Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein \u015fi Henry KIssinger, iar \u201eInovatorii.
