That I liked was that one of the scientists was already working on voice recognition all the way back in 1972. Even 34 years later, that technology is STILL flaky :)
I would like to say thank you to the people in that video and others involved in the program. They changed the world. We should have a holiday that honors the people involved in the creation of the first computer networks and eventually the internet. They need some recognition.
Actually Sun Microsystems has a distributed OS thing going on; the thin client system is the equivalent, but I don't think distributed computing makes sense, considering that 1) Computers aren't specialized the same way they used to be and 2) everyone has a computer.We'll probably end up with a hybrid system, more on the thin-client end than we are now, but I'm pretty sure that we're going to keep processors on the desktop.
I would love to get in contact with the Director Steven King or get some background to the making of this documentary for my research. Can you help in any way?
