Who came up with the concept of the dashboard?
I don't know.
but this concept is not new or old, this concept is here from the beginning of times...
The human being is going on his way with a bag containing all of the things he needs for his voyage.
In the beginning of times you needed tools such as a bow and an arrow, a water hobo, a knife, what else? mmm... a bag to collect things... fire stone?
I don't know, I can imagine :-)
So to have "order" in his journey the Humosfiaanc created this bag with pockets, and put all of his stuff in it.
and the time pass...
more and more and more tools were collected during the time, to create small and big tasks, simple and complex work, so specifications where made to certain jobs, and a specific job had specific tools... etc... etc...
....we got back to these days:
can we call it the computerized times? I will, these days are computer driven.
And the physical tools we take to our voyage are communication tools, we communicate.
we have symbols, we have signs, we have languages, we have connections....
we connect by communication computerized devices.
We have tasks that are general and everyone does them, and we have specific applications to do specific tasks, so we need a bag, a bag to collect all of our tools, so, why don't we use a bag?
We do so many tasks simultaneously, and each task as a specific "bag" for its tools, so we need a bag to hold all the bags in, with pockets...
but the bag needs to be constantly open, so I can see my most important tools, since the job I do is compound from many tasks from many tools that lay in different bags.
like cars, where I can see the most important information about the motor and conditions of my vessel, like the dashboard, mmm... this is a good idea.
Use a dashboard such as in cars, after all, we are going on a journey...
