Thinking About Technology

What are your thoughts?

In regards to Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, based upon what you already knew, what you learned today, and any additional info that you may research on them........   What do you think of them?  Is this an example of the American dream?  Could this happen today w/ technology?  Is there something out there waiting to be developed in regards to computers and technology that would impact us as much as the work of these individuals have?

Gender differences?

• What are your thoughts to the comment in the movie regarding the computer industry and interest in computers, "....this is a guy thing..."

• Do you think the comment had to do with the movie being made in 1996?  or more with the time that Gates, Allen, Jobs, Woz, etc where dabbling with computers in their garages? 
• Are there currently any women that are major players in the computer/technology industry?  (You may need to do a little research to find the answer to this one.)

How much are they worth?

In the beginning of the movie you are introduced to the major players involved in the computer revolution, and how much each of them are worth.  This movie was created in 1996.  Do some quick research and find updated figures for some of these movers and shakers in the computer industry.

Paul Allen, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Gordon Moore, Ed Roberts, etc
