“[Digital technologies] are no longer the tools for making: they are primarily tools for thinking.” Mario Carpo, The Alternative Science of Computation While it is common knowledge that computation involves electrical impulses and ones and zeroes and a lot of circuitry, most daily interactions with silicon microchips rarely require an understanding of capacitors or binary code. The inner workings of these machines are filtered through graphical user interfaces, which shield us from the messiness of source and assembly code.
