History of Science & Technology Q&A (June 7, 2023)

Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the history of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa Questions include: How did scientific disciplines originate and evolve through the centuries? - Do you think Apple's new VR headset will be much different than previous releases of other VR headsets? What do past releases of similar products predict? - VR kind of reminds me of video game systems. Your product may be fantastic, but if the content/software isn't up to snuff, it's probably going to fail. - These glasses and headsets need to be comfy and miniaturized to become suitable for everyday use. - What are use cases in education for these new headsets? - Perhaps AI can be used to translate existing educational material into VR-suitable content.
