Pirates of Silicon Valley..


Pirates of Silicon Valley is a movie about the Making of Personal Computer. It is a made-for-television docudrama written and directed by Martyn Burke which documents the rise of the home computer (personal computer) through the rivalry between Apple Computer and Microsoft. The film is the semi-humorous documentary about the men who made the world of technology what it is today, their struggles during college, the founding of their companies, and the ingenious actions they took to build up the global corporate empires of Apple Computer Corporation and Microsoft Inc.

Reflection:

Pirates of Silicon Valley is a nice movie wherein we see how personal computer rise from two of most powerful company, and along the way, we are shown how deeply power and wealth corrupts. The movie really gives me an insight of a true technology revolution, taking the computers out of the hands of corporate types, and giving them over to the people to use. The film is more focus to Steven Jobs not to all pioneers of the computer industry specially to Bill Gates which I think contributed much of what we are using today.
