We made the first computer that did stamps or sprites, we did screen-mapping for the very first time, and a lot of stuff like that. We had some of the most sophisticated sound-creating systems, and were instrumental in MIDI.” FirstsMadeWholeStuffSoundCompanyTechnologyComputerCreatingFirst TimeEdgesDrivenScreensBunchSophisticatedTechnologicalStampsMappingAtariMidi Author:Nolan Bushnell

“The system of technological production that we have today has been justified in terms of creating more goods to feed more people and to meet more needs. But it actually destroys more of the resources that we need in order to meet those multiple needs. If we shift to an ecological perception, a diversity perception, we realize that some of the instruments of which we are very proud are actually extremely primitive for dealing with nature. To me that is the great lesson of ecological awareness at the turn of the millennium.” PeopleIfsNeedsHas BeensTodayOrderTurnsTermRealizingAwarenessProudLessonsDiversityPerceptionCreatingResourcesInstrumentsProductionsGoodsPrimitiveMultipleTechnologicalJustifiedEcologicalMillennium Author:Vandana Shiva
