More Connections

Circa 1982, I took a computer programming class through UC Berkeley Extension.  They were still using IBM punchcards for recording the program and running it.  Tens years earlier, in high school, classmates were studying Fortran and using punchcards.  Because of deregulation of telecommunications (thanks to our best modern president, Jimmy Carter) we moved from punchcards, developed 250 years earlier, to the internet within five years.  This edition of Connections, series highlighted below, gets into the genesis of all that...  I highly recommend this series for anyone who wishes to compete on design.

Note the excellent shots of the WeltHandelZentrum.
