VersandkostenfreiAlthough Bright Boys covers the years 1938 to 1958, the critical time period in making Information Technology's transformative tool-the electronic digital computer (Whirlwind)-was 1945 to 1949. With the 70th anniversary of the making of that tool coming up in 2019, the new edition of Bright Boys will celebrate that singular event.
The Untold Story of Everything Digital: Bright Boys, Revisited celebrates the 70th anniversary (1949-2019) of the world "going digital" for the very first time-real-time digital computing's genesis story.
That genesis story is taken from the 2010 edition of Bright Boys: The Making of Information Technology, 1938-1958, and substantially expanded upon for this special, anniversary edition.
Please join us for the incredible adventure that is The Untold Story of Everything Digital, when a band of misfit engineers, led by MIT's Jay Forrester and Bob Everett, birthed the digital revolution. The bright boys were the first to imagine an electronic landscape of computing machines and digital networks, and the first to blaze its high-tech trails.
