Tonight on CEP! The fascinating insightful Kenley C. Vogt joins us to talk tech ethics, computer history, and his career as a network engineer:
- How TV repair guys would deliberately fry tubes just to confirm their claim that you needed a new one.
- How TV salespeople would deliberately lower the focus on a TV, just to sell you a pricier model.
- How two 1952 IBM computers played checkers against each other… and learned from their mistakes.
- Self-healing networks, a 1986 AT&T StarLAN running at 1 Megabit!, and an early 90s Nortel network running at 100!
- His experience designing cutting-edge networks for IBM, Steven Spielberg, Kodak, Hawkeye, and a Russian embassy
- Business and computer history: How we got to where we are now.
Stay tuned for next week’s episode where Kenley discusses his book, “The Adventures of AI and the Little Learners”, available at KenleyCVogt.com
