優秀ICT教學記錄片系列(1) – 1996《電腦狂的勝利》 Triumph of the Nerds

相比其他的學科，ICT科的記錄片不多，這十數年有系統的都不過五套，所以iGardener老師幾經辛苦，除了早前介紹BBC的虛擬革命之外，找到兩套美國PBS^W 拍攝的記錄片，分別是：

• 1996年的《電腦狂的勝利》Triumph of the Nerds
• 1998年的《電腦狂 2.0.1》Nerds 2.0.1

The Triumph of the Nerds^W: The Rise of Accidental Empires

「或者該說是無心插柳，原始的創作團隊是業餘的，而現在大部分人也都還是。作者Bob Cringley從他在矽谷的車庫走出，為大家介紹電腦圖片和電腦狂，並述說關於他們不可思議的真實故事。就像該行業本身，該電影系列富資訊性、有趣、直陳而未加修剪。演員包括：比爾蓋茨（微軟總裁，世界上最有錢的人）、史帝夫‧賈布斯（嬉皮的蘋果電腦聯合創始人，NeXT電腦的首席執行長，一個想要改變世界的人），Steve Wozniak（蘋果電腦的聯合創始人，工程學天才，是個愛開玩笑的人）」Amazon.com

“It happened more or less by accident; the people who made it happen were amateurs; and for the most part they still are. From his own Silicon Valley garage, author Bob Cringley puts PC bigshots and nerds on the spot, and tells their incredible true stories. Like the industry itself, the series is informative, funny and brash. Some of the episode participants include: Bill Gates (Chairman of Microsoft, the richest man in the world), Steve Jobs (Hippie co-founder of Apple Computer; CEO of NeXT Computer; and the man who wanted to change the world), and Steve Wozniak (Co-founder of Apple Computer; engineering genius, practical joker).” Amazon.com
