IBM: The First Mass-Produced Computer, Attack of the Clones, and the Fall of an Empire

Duration: 56min 30sec Type: Standup

Description

How is developing a computer like launching a rocket to the moon? Is it easy being the son of the most successful man on the continent? How can one small clause in a contract knock you out of the race you started?

In the first episode of the new season of "Launch Tomorrow," we talk about the rise and fall of the IBM empire, the advent of the personal computer, the birth of Silicon Valley, and how startups in pizza-stained T-shirts are becoming more important than executives in three-piece suits.
