Premieres Feb. 5, 2013 // Robert Noyce's invention of the microchip launched the world into the Information Age.
Led by physicist Robert Noyce, Fairchild Semiconductor began as a start-up company whose radical innovations would help make the United States a leader in both space exploration and the personal computer revolution, changing the way the world works, plays, and communicates. Noyce's invention of the microchip ultimately re-shaped the future. More at www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexper... - Фільми й анімація
I was a part of this Silicon Valley Tech in the 70-80 's . It Transferred from farms to Hi-tech, and it caused the rest of us to put up with and get addicted to which we did. Still a nice place to live SanFranciscoBayArea weather-wise, expensive, but for the tech minded, there are affordable jobs. (I mean affordable jobs). Looks like an interesting Doc, I've subscribed.
This promises to be a remarkable documentary!
I find it incredible that the US is the mother of these inventions yet they are mass-produced in other parts of the world. But maybe that's the role of the most advanced economies.... intellectual property creation. The role of forging raw material into physical products seems to be more economically fulfilled by developing nations.
Everyone knows who Jobs and Gates are. But has anyone heard of Robert Noyce? He is to the modern computer what Robert Oppenheimer was to the Atomic Bomb. I bought this movie from Amazon and was shocked that I had never heard of any of these guys except Shockley (and then only for his views on evolution..). This movie should be required viewing for every student in any field of high tech. THIS is the groundwork on which all modern computer HW owes everything. Absolutely fascinating and inspiring.
I Hate To Say This, But They Are Well Know Cause They Have Money... Lots Of It... He Is The Most Important Man In The History Of The Computer. Thanks Great Great Uncle Twice Removed Or Something. ;)

They were important engineers but people rarely hear about them because they do not understand what they were doing or even achieving.
Gates and Jobs were both engineers but they were more importantly product developers allowed all the high tech engineering to be filtered down to the masses.
Even if both Gates and Jobs were not wealth people would still know there names.
Always gives me goosebumps
tremendous. I live in the valley. This is awesome
yuuuge
I enjoyed this from PBS.
feeling great to have more knowledge
Fascinating!
Looks really good.

Now that's swagger right there....
Love it, lived it!
13:31 My grandpa right there... rest in peace bossman!
Cool, what did he do?
Where is the rest of this? It's over 9 years old now. Post the whole thing.
For real.
Great program.... big thumbs down for only posting short teaser of series. Do you expect viewers to go looking for the rest on conventional TV? Here is a news flash: Some of us don't watch ANY conventional TV at all!
Well actualy most peoples intrested in that field of subject don't have conventional tv anymore
So subscribe to the PBS app. Then you'll have full access.
what is conventinal TV ?
Would you turn on auto-captions?
Really disappointing that the PBS website won't stream the full program in Canada, even as WNED keeps asking for money to the extent that it's branded itself a Buffalo/Toronto station.
vpn bruh
If anyone has the full documentary for free somewhere send me a link please!
Everybody knows Bardeen did the theory, Brattain did the handiwork, and Shockley was just the manager who missed out
doesn't tell even half the story- if you want to hear the full pre-story - check out the Computer Museum's excellent presentation "The Secret History of Silicon Valley" - and how US military capital was used to build the tech industry in what would become silicon valley eventually through DARPA Radar technology projects which fueled the Cold War. Pretty fascinating stuff.
Not even 1/10,000th. HP, Varian, IBM and the invention of the magnetic tape drive (and disk drive) well as RAMAC, Xerox PARC, Apple, Lockheed, Sonar, Radar, Microwave technology, radio, telecommunications, NASA Ames/ aerodynamics/ rocketry/ satellites, Philo Farnsworth and the invention of the television, Charles Herrold and the invention of radio broadcasting, on and on...
Well this is only the beginning part of the doc.
"It was like picking up the phone and talking to God." - Bob Noyce
Sounds like fun
Tom wolfe produced a nice piece of literature concentrating on noyce's background which you can find in his book 'hooking on'.
Do yourself a big favour and read it, read the whole book.
I'll read it if you tell me more.
Golden age of California.. look at it now!
POR FAVOR EN ESPAÑOL
flying taxi @ 1:45
I live in the valley.
No different to other entrepreneurs that started Google, Apple, Microsoft etc
Øx
here's the full documentary ua-cam.com/video/DCbRZGDV-ws/v-deo.html
Share me this video if you have
@@hassanarif4530 The only thing i can find is this link. I think the link is one full episode. ua-cam.com/video/VDAS24KEDWM/v-deo.html I can't find the full documentary, unfortunately.
@@givemepizzaorgivemedeath3983 Hey man this link doesn't work, is there anyway you could find and post the full one? I need to watch it for my class. Thanks
Ah. The valley before all the Indians showed up. SF was a nice place to live back in the day.
Indians were here before us.
