Jay Forrester on the Whirlwind Computer

[@bdmajuqwana4050]

This is a very inspiring talk by this pioneer, exceedingly instructional and informative. The last part where he attributes management's role in the success of technology development is instructive. There's just too much in this video lecture by this legend. Big thanks for sharing.

I have a question.
I am counting the number of computers in the encyclopedia built by undergrads at different universities .
Was Gordon Brown involved in building the whirlwind?

Interesting bit on System Dynamics at the end, with the 'decline in new innovation' being the odd exception. I thought over the past 30 years innovation increased, not decreased.

Legend.

One dollar per bit memory per month, for maintenance replacement of the memory components! (said at 38 minutes, 15 s)

Legendary talk by #JayForrester - one of the #BrightBoys (book by Tom Green) which I highly recommend which tells the story behind Whirlwind, and the beginning of the #DigitalAge

One of the reviews of that book said it's just a boring list of names dates and places. Did you find it was better than that?

@lemonrind Yes I have an answer. They recorded it with a couple of video cameras when it happened.
