| | Butler Lampson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Butler W. Lampson (born 1943) is a computer scientist, considered to be one of the most significant in the history of the field. | | | Lampson was one of the founding members of Xerox PARC in 1970, where he worked in the Computer Science Laboratory (CSL). | | | Lampson's most famous aphorism is his statement "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection". |

| | CSL and the other computing labs at PARC worked in three broad areas: (1) theoretical computer science, which is mostly mathematics; (2) systems research, including operating systems, programming languages, and tools; and (3) applications programs that allow users to interact with the system and get their work done. | | | I had worked with, but not on computers before but hadn't been very interested in them, because most of the machines were protected from their users by a priesthood of operators and programmers. | | | But the most important PARC innovations were in software, without which a computer is no more useful than a hot rock. |

(New York: ACM Press, 1986), 101-31. | | | In 1972, PARC’s Butler Lampson argued that the prototype Xerox Alto, the first personal computer developed at PARC, needed a text editor in order to demonstrate the full potential of the 16-bit Alto. | | | To this end, he developed a “piece table” that, unlike other editors that manipulated and stored single characters as individual bits, arranged whole documents into blocks or “pieces” of whole passages, thus reducing substantially the burden on memory storage and recall functions. |

| | Lampson concurs: "Getting the computer to understand what you say to it and behave intelligently is an entirely different matter" from speech recognition. | | | Even after 60 years of development, computers are still basically machines that can only crunch an endless stream of ones and zeros. | | | In fact, look for the traditional PC--keyboard, screen, hard disk, network adapter--to become "disaggregated." The pioneers expect that the components will become separated but will continue to work together. |
