090923 The history of computers is a history of competition and collaboration: Innovators have worked together, but also clashed over the place of computers in society and how they should function.

See "The Innovators" author Walter Isaacson, MakerBot CEO Jennifer Lawton, The Muse.com founder Kathryn Minshew and journalist John Hockenberry parse the past, present, and future of our technological revolution in the World Science Festival event Science and Story: The History of the Future.
