Today I learned, that Jospeh Weizenbaum died the day before yesterday. During my adolescence I did read most of his books, and these books made me think about the implications and the social responsibility that our industry has. He was a great man, a very human IT specialist, and a real forwardlooking technologist.

Joseph, you are missed!

   Ja, I am so glad I met him at MEDICHI 2007, a year before he passed away.
