Antikythera mechanism. The Antikythera mechanism (Fragment A – front) The Antikythera mechanism (Fragment A – back) The Antikythera mechanism (/ˌæntɨkɨˈθɪərə/ ANT-i-ki-THEER-ə or /ˌæntɨˈkɪθərə/ ANT-i-KITH-ə-rə) is an ancient analog computer[1][2][3][4] designed to predict astronomical positions and eclipses. It was recovered in 1900–1901 from the Antikythera wreck, a shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera.[5] Although the computer's construction has been attributed to the Greeks and dated to the early 1st century BC, its significance and complexity were not understood until the 1970s when it was analyzed with modern X-ray technology. Technological artifacts approaching its complexity and workmanship did not appear again until the 14th century, when mechanical astronomical clocks began to be built in Western Europe.[6] The mechanism was housed in a wooden box approximately 340 × 180 × 90 mm in size and comprised 30 bronze gears (although more could have been lost).
Origins and discovery[edit] Gearing[edit] Brian David Johnson, a Consumer Experience Architect at Intel Corp. offers Screen Future: The Future of Entertainment, Computing and the Devices We Love : Page 1 of 2. Brian David Johnson , a Consumer Experience Architect at Intel Corp., takes on a moving target – the evolution of entertainment and the forces that are constantly at work shaping that evolutionary path – as the big topic in his new book, Screen Future: The Future of Entertainment, Computing and the Devices We Love (Intel Press; hardcover; available July 21).
It’s a vast subject, to be sure, but Johnson makes it a palatable one, with chapters of easy-to-digest research, analysis and commentary alternating with Q&As with academics, business executives and government officials who are all, in their own ways, “what’s next” visionaries – and who all have their say about what’s to come in new devices and how they are being (and will be) used by today’s screen-hopping, content-consuming public. The book is the culmination of 10 years of ethnographic research at Intel about “what consumers are doing in their homes,” Johnson explained. Intel Screen Futures - Brian David Johnson.
