Capt. Grace Hopper on Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People (Part One, 1982)
National Security Agency
Part one of Capt. Grace Hopper's 1982 NSA lecture on the future of data, hardware, software and people. It includes her humor, her nanosecond demonstration and views on scaling and resisting old ways of doing things.
HN enjoys it as a funny, quotable lecture from a bygone era, with lines about horizontal scaling and change that still resonate.
