The Power of Abstraction
This is an old video about evolution of design of programming languages for abstraction by Barbara J. Liskov from MIT, one of the earliest researchers on software abstraction. Most of the fundamental concepts are still used or still can be applied today.
It provides good insights to those who have difficulty understanding the prime goal and reasoning behind abstraction. It also talks a bit about some future research, things for us to ponder about :-)
