    Classic 1976 video in which William Shatner hosts a 15 minute exploration of microprocessor, silicon chips, and the history of their creation. An interesting look back at the history of the microprocessor while it was still in its relative infancy. Might be useful for students looking to piece together a digital history of computing.

      What sort of strain would something like this put on many school district's limited bandwidth and IT resources? Just this fall, our online 5th grade math program has encountered numerous problems. When more than just 4 or 5 teachers are using the online text with students, it bogs down the entire network, and brings learning to a crawl. Eliminating traditional paper-based and paid textbooks will not save any money, but rather shift the funds into IT invetment in order to deliver increasingly larger videos, media, and other open-content resources.
