POPSOpen Universiteit Nederland - Gratis Cursussen Iedere cursus bevat een afgerond onderwerp, met meestal een zelftoets als sluitstuk. De cursussen hebben wel een veel kleinere omvang dan de gewone cursussen van de Open Universiteit Nederland. Om een indicatie van de omvang te geven: een gewone cursus van de Open Universiteit Nederland, die onderdeel is van een wetenschappelijke opleiding, heeft meestal 100 studiebelastingsuren (SBU). De omvang van de gratis cursussen op deze website is wisselend; van 4 tot 25 SBU. De meeste cursussen zullen een omvang hebben van 25 SBU.

POPSThe Physical World as a Virtual Reality (by Brian Whitworth) The abstract continues: ... It is suggested that whether the world is an objective reality or a virtual reality is a matter for science to resolve. Modern information science can suggest how core physical properties like space, time, light, matter and movement could derive from information processing. Such an approach could reconcile relativity and quantum theories, with the former being how information processing creates space-time, and the latter how it creates energy and matter.

POPSThe Real Computer Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet ...But I would much rather talk about future possibilities, and so I wrote a few historical notes to provide some context for the 1975 paper, and now can try to discuss some of the more important, and mostly hidden, gifts that personal computing networked together around the world can bring to humanity. Our thought was: but if we can get the children to learn the real thing then in a few generations the big change will happen. 32 years later the technologies that our research community invented are in general use by more than a billion people, and we have gradually learned how to teach children the real thing. But it looks as though the actual revolution will take longer than our optimism suggested, largely because the commercial and educational interests in the old media and modes of thought have frozen personal computing pretty much at the “imitation of paper, recordings, film and TV” level.
