Silicon Valley -- The Hippies who Built the First PC (full video)


Computers are not really my thing, but the discussion of California culture and how it led to the home computer revolution is very interesting. 

-- Blue Boxes! (I should have made one.) 

-- An old telephone earpiece. (I still have one.) 
 
-- The Free University of Palo Alto (I should have gone there.) 

-- The HOMEBREW Computer Club  (Great use of the word "homebrew."

By the mid 1970s, "they were going to change the world not with flowers in their hair, but with soldering irons in their hands." 

Great stuff.
