Timeline talk

by Bret Victor

This entry is a stub, and will be expanded on a future archiving pass.

A dinner talk about the history of computing.

An adjustable timeline runs the length of the dinner table, and the speaker plays cards to place photos and videos on the timeline, or adjust the timespan.

First given at a rehearsal dinner on December 1, 2017, and largely revised for the dress dinner on Dec 5.

Later presented as part of full-day workshops.

Later: TTI/V talk (2019)
