Ask HN: What are some good tech documentaries to watch
When I’m not at work and just want to chill, but want to see a good story, what are some good tech documentaries to watch? Whether it’s on YouTube or elsewhere, free or paid, I’m open to any tech documentaries you know of.
- northfoxz 8y agoPirates of Silicon Valley. It's classic :)
- microwavecamera 8y agoZero Days is a good one to check out. I don't know where you can watch it for free but it is on Netflix. http://www.zerodaysfilm.com/ http://www.zerodaysfilm.com/
- bradknowles 8y agoYeah, that was a good one. TLDR: the movie is about Stuxnet and the attack on the Iranian nuclear enrichment program.

- cweiss 8y agoBack in the early 1980's, there was a weekly PBS series called The Computer Chronicles. It was a rundown of tech at the time. Being an older geek, I remember watching them first-run to learn about shiny new things like VisiCalc, sound cards and The Internet. Thankfully, folks have managed to digitize most of the original tapes and it's now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ComputerChroniclesYT https://www.youtube.com/user/ComputerChroniclesYT I've found that going back and watching them has stirred some great nostalgia and perspective.
