| Description: | FACE TO FACE COURSE FRT-101-07: Dream Big: The Story of Entrepreneurship in Computing Mark McCartin-Lim is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science who has taught at Wabash College since 2019. He grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and has been enamored with the magic of computers since he first discovered his dad's Osborne II at age 6. Do you have what it takes to follow in the footsteps of Alan Turing, Charles Babbage, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg? These are just some of the names of computing pioneers whose visions have shaped the Information Age. In this tutorial, we will take a journey through time, to learn of the ambitions of these entrepreneurs, the ideas they had, and the decisions they made. Some decisions led to empires of enormous wealth, while others led to ruin. Our reflections will not only explain how the technology we taken for granted came into being, but also provide insights into how we might shape the future of computing. |
