Triumph of the Nerds


I got some materials for my grid art project and I’m going to start working on it tomorrow. I think I planned out about an hour a day until it is due, however I think it won’t be quite that tedious.

In class we watched Triumph of the Nerds. This is a world I would never ever want to be in. I think it is absolutely fascinating however. I really have no technical computer knowledge so watching this movie was eye opening. It really is a whole different way of thinking, language and sub culture. I liked seeing such as young geeky Bill Gates. It is phenomenal to think that these people in the movie were just about my age when they were making it big in the computer industry. I also liked watching the excerpts of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Steve Jobs makes computers sound so magical, which to me they really are anyways, “there was something beyond what you see everyday.” He thought that this same spirit could be put into products. I really liked watching this movie so far and it is interesting to see the competitive nature of this business.
