Excellently written history on a period of time I am fascinated in. However, I think the author puts too fine a point on the literal exact geographic position of the technology, and not the historical & material forces that manifested. Obviously every computer advancement didn't occur in sunny Palo Alto directly (just reading where your device was "assembled" will tell you that). But even this article trying to highlight the other places where all of this was going on; the author cannot be unburdened by the massive forces coming out of the Bay Area. This is most obvious when the author has to mention Xerox PARC but not interrogate _why_ Xerox chose that of all locations to let them start a "wild unsupervised west-coast lab". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmentation_Research_Center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmentation_Research_Center Very much a personal nitpick on a very well written entry so I hope this doesn't come off overly negative.
