History of Technology

In January and February, 2026, I gave a series of talks on the History of Technology.  Entitled,From Sumeria to Silicon Valley.  Using the iPhone as a focus, the talks showed how six major areas of human thought, investigation, curiosity and development have come together to be synthesized into a device that is more than the sum of its parts.  

The talks each covered one area of technology, from its ancient roots to the modenr day.  The recorddings can be seen here -
