Plot Summary:This documentary tells the forgotten stories of some of the most influential personal computer pioneers in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the late 1960s, big mainframe computers owned by large corporations and the government were seen as tools of control. The Hippie movement and the anti-Vietnam war protests served as a hotbed for a revolutionary idea: creating an affordable home computer to be used by ordinary people as a counterbalance to Big Brother. Well, the rest is history, but what has happened to the early ideals and the initial ethos of free sharing? As one of the visionaries puts it: "It's true that what I helped to create is today's establishment. That's what I was trying to get rid of: the establishment."
从嬉皮士到个人电脑，从个人电脑再到万维网，我关心的只是为什么会是在加州福利亚这个地方，好莱坞也在加州福利亚。为什么全球的科技都看美国，美国有什么吸引人的地方，是怎么做到的，走向伟大的一步就是这些人的存在。而不再是一些政客的一些花言巧语

末尾看到几个计算机变革中作为开创者的老头 没有专利没有股票也没有发财 想找项目找工作因年纪大而找不到的时候 不禁唏嘘
