Fascinating to learn how computer science leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) for a deeper understanding of complex mental health conditions.

The great Alan Kay, is not just a visionary technologist, but also a computer historian. He has given several excellent talks on the history of computers, internet and silicon valley. One of my favorite talks of his, is one where he captures the entire history of internet in one slide. While the media is always eager to identify one or two individuals as "inventors of the internet", the reality is so different. It was a true "build-on-top-of-others'-work" kind of effort that spanned generations and continents, with each contribution adding a key piece of the puzzle. Take a look. I will add the link to the talk in the comment.

What an amusing story about Scott E. Fahlman and how he invented the Smiley emoticon at CMU in 1982! Having been there at the time, I really enjoyed the story. Check it our here: https://cmu.is/Smiley My favorite part is how he explained at a communications conference in 2014 why it went viral: The :-) and :-( emoticons filled a (small) need. They provided a very easy way to say “I’m only joking”, “I’m happy”, “I’m serious”, or “I’m unhappy”. No special codes or pull- down menus – you just type them. They are free to use. There's an "in group" effect: Hey, look, I know the secret language of the Internet! Smiles are universal. A smile is immediately recognized by people in every human culture, across every language. The :-) emoticon is the distilled, abstract essence of a smile. It has no gender, no race, no age, no religion, no politics... It's just a smile. Smiles are positive, powerful, and contagious.  Have a nice day! :-) #cmu #:-) #emoticon #smiley
