The interviewer is really annoying.

Skip to 08:45 to bypass all the usual academic platitudes. (This appears to be one of those events that has an introducer to the introducer.)

After nearly 40 years as a female in the computer industry, thanks to this video I realize that women have had a significant role from the very beginning. I would have had a great role model if only she and the other first programmers were given their due recognition from the beginning. However, it seems to be a universal true in the industry that the "finishers" get very little recognition whether male or female.

My mother Shirley did this! She did more math with the results.

It interests me to see the first programmers.. it thrills me more that as early as that time there are already singers from the Philippines. Just a personal bias. Nothing more.
