'Every abstract machine is linked to other abstract machines......Mechanosphere'
'Nature cannot be separated from culture now more than ever. The interactions between technological and biological ecosystems emerging out of our culture – can be seen as the Mechanosphere.'

This mornings lecture was opened with a paragraph by Deleuze and Guattari. It was said that all machines are linked through numerous different ways and directions and finished his quote with mechanosphere, a word not in the dictionary but defined as the intertwining and interactions of all forms of machines technologically, biologically and culturally.
The lecture itself was very good with a presentation on the history of computers both business and personal.
Computers began as big units which where only available for large institutions such as governments and universities and evolved into todays super computers through many smart individuals and the companies Xerox PARC, Apple & the PC.
