Nick PooleWhile chatting with some friends last week, and inspired by @alexglow's recent rosary project, I imagined the practice of storing computer programs as long rosaries, with beads of alternating texture for 1/0 and a large bead separating every byte or word. Members of a computer-maintaining clergy could "read" the programs with one hand while inputting them with the other.
The most sacred texts are woven on looms into tapestries that store and transport better. When an abbey receives a new tapestry, the monks kneel over it for weeks, transcribing it to rosary.
(The computers are running a centrally planned economy)
