We crystallized our dreams into a design idea for a personal dynamic medium the size of a notebook (the Dynabook)
which could be owned by everyone and could have the power to handle virtually all of its owner's information-related needs.
Towards this goal
we have designed and built a communications system: the Smalltalk language,
implemented on small computers we refer to ad 'interim Dynabooks."
Interim Dynabook
We are exploring the use of this system
as a programming and problem solving tool;
as an interactive memory for the storage and manipulation of data;
