Year: 1996
Host: Robert X. Cringely
The definitive TV documentary of the personal computer....
Journalist Robert Cringley's 3-hour saga of the personal computer is a sprawling, gutsy masterpiece that tells it like it is, presenting for viewer approval(or disapproval)the characters, places and anecdotes that are part of the birth, growing pains and refinement of "that damn box", as some folks might call it. It's all there: software, hardware, geeks, nerds, money, power, ambition, hunger, anxiety. Highly recommended viewing, without a doubt.
NOTE - Watching this in Technology class, I was pumped the whole time. This documentary, while not about video games, entails the passion and decisiveness of successful business decisions as well as follies. I watch this at least once a week.
