Popular presentations about Technology
AI & Machine Learning
A 70-year arc that stalled twice, then accelerated past most of its critics. Below: dates, names, and the equations that built modern AI.
Artificial Intelligence: From Turing to Transformers
From Turing's 1950 question "Can machines think?" to modern large language models -- the history, science, breakthroughs, and implications of humanity's most transformative technology.
Biotechnology
How humanity learned to read, write, and edit the code of life — from fermentation and insulin to CRISPR, mRNA vaccines, and the imminent age of programmable biology.
Blockchain Technology
From Bitcoin's genesis block to decentralized finance, smart contracts, and beyond -- the technology promising to reshape trust, ownership, and coordination in the digital age.
Compilers
A compiler is a program that translates a program. The input is source code in one language; the output is an executable program — usually in machine code, sometimes in another high-level language, sometimes in bytecode for a virtual machine.
Ethics of Technology
The philosophy of technology is the philosophical investigation of artefacts, systems, and the practices they sustain. It is younger than most of philosophy and older than most of computing — its modern form took shape in the mid-20th century, when Heidegger, Ellul, and Mumford each independently concluded that the technological systems of industrial modernity had begun to reshape the humans inside them.
Computer Networks
A computer network is a set of machines that exchange messages by following a shared protocol. The internet is the network of networks: an interconnection of autonomously operated networks, glued together by a small set of universal protocols.
CPUs and Architecture
A central processing unit fetches an instruction from memory, decodes it, executes it, and writes the result. Then it does the same with the next instruction. It does this several billion times a second, on a die smaller than a fingernail, dissipating less power than a light bulb.
Cybersecurity: Defending the Digital World
The art and science of protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks. From ancient cryptography to modern zero-trust architectures -- defending civilization's digital infrastructure.
Databases
A system for organising structured data so that it can be stored durably, queried flexibly, and modified safely by many programs at once.
History of the Internet
How a Cold War military communications experiment became the largest network humanity has ever built — reshaping commerce, culture, politics, and cognition along the way.
Mobile Computing
Forty years of pocketable computers. From the Apple Newton's misread ink to a foldable device with a six-billion-parameter on-device model. Sixteen pages.

History of Programming Languages
From Punch Cards to AI Assistants: 70 Years of Human-Machine Communication
Quantum Computing
Harnessing the strange laws of quantum mechanics -- superposition, entanglement, and interference -- to solve problems beyond the reach of any classical computer.
Robotics
N.T.S.
Semiconductors
From Sand to Silicon: The Invisible Engine of Modernity
Space Technology
Seven decades of getting hardware out of the gravity well — and increasingly bringing it back.
