Hopper’s famous 1982 lecture on “Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People,” has long been publicly unavailable because of the obsolete media on which it was recorded. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) finally managed to retrieve the footage for the National Security Agency (NSA), which posted the lecture in two parts on YouTube.

Only a true visionary could have foreseen YouTube in 1982!
