MUD Mired in time...
Rocket science? That's where we started!
Our Vanguard (Rocket) tracking system had etch-a sketch wheels that allowed points to be located. Took forever!!!! A pair of microphones (left and top of screen) instead locate the squeak of a mouse pointer. Menus for the computer back then were adhesive
tape with drawn on script. This was not video but rear projection of film at 1000 fps. Mud didn't seem so bad. No keyboards. Programming and bootstrapping in binary. First clinical patient? Familial spastic para-paresis. So much has changed but the key, as seen here, is to not disconnect the visual patient from the data by stacks of graphs without insight... mud. We have come a long way. Cellphones can now capture most of what we need to clear the mud from our seeing what is going on. So now, as here, we need to help get the mud out of our eyes and see what is wrong versus what is making-do in order to not be left behind in life. That's why we are here.
