John Markoff talks about his book, "What The Dormouse Said: How the 60s Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry." In the 60s, John McCarthy was working on replacing human intelligence using artificial intelligence and Doug Engelbart was working on augmenting human intelligence using computers.

John Talks about their contribution and how the PC revolution eventually unfolded. This is Part 1 of a two-part presentation.
