Hi All, Perhaps you may have missed this presentation. Below is a link to Fred Brooks' lecture from the Heidelberg Laureate Forum in 2015 August. http://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/blog/video/lecture-tuesday-august-2... His talk titled, "A Personal History of Computers" gives his perspective on computing history and evolution. This video could be fodder for a good discussion on the accuracy of his views. Enjoy!
