Julian Pineda on 09 Sep 11This website displays a series of audio-visual resources regarding the history of technology from different perspectives. There are some that are more relevant for our purpose and others that could just be informative. Here I list the ones, that in my opinion are worth to see, and a brief description of each one. * Old compact computer advert: If you just want hear a quick joke about how and old computer is compared to fish, you should watch * Peter Hirshberg: the web and TV a sibling rivalry: A more elaborate talk in a conference in 2007. The speaker describes in 31 minutes how TV and technology have been connected in the past 60 years. He addresses the issue from various perspectives (entertainment and financially) and how computers were developed for a specific purpose after War World II. Additionally, he describes briefly the evolution of computers and TVs in the past years. * Internet in 1994: It displays some uses of Internet as a resourceful tool for marketing, shopping, accessing information, interact and much more. * The next generation: It is a simple, sort of power point, presentation with captions regarding some important event in the history of computers. * Museum of Technology in Berlin * Early technology TV programs. * The Microsoft Way: information regarding the history of this company.
