jjp9999 writes: Computer scientist Grady Booch, an original creator of the Unified Model Language, hopes to do for computing what Sagan did for the universe with ‘Cosmos.’ By presenting the history and state of global computing, both the good and the bad, he hopes to help society ‘be intentional how about how we will shape the future of computing as well as how we might choose to be shaped by it It is as if we have created a new world, and chose to step inside it,’ he said. This will be done through a transmedia documentary series, ‘Computing: The Human Experience.’ According to Booch, ‘We will set the stage, we will pose the questions, but our audience can draw their own conclusions.as well as hopefully be inspired to be part of creating that future.’
