Apropos of our discussions on Isaacson, there's a story in the SF Chronicle today that discusses this trend of popularizing accounts of women in tech history. I was glad to see Janet Abbate is quoted several times. I spoke to the reporter too, but unfortunately I am misquoted at one point as saying that the ENIAC women never wrote their own stories. Ugh. Oh well--just another cautionary tale about the circuitous path history takes from academia to popular culture. And a reminder that if you see someone quoted as saying something odd or incorrect, there's a good chance they didn't say it :) http://m.sfgate.com/business/article/Women-are-claiming-their-place-in-tech-...
