About Computing
In the spirit of Carl Sagan's Cosmos, Computing is a multi-part transmedia documentary that examines the story of computing through the lens of our humanity. This is a journey across the intersection of computing and what it means to be human, wherein we explore the nature of computational thinking, present the central stories of the science, the people, and the artifacts of computing, examine the connections among computing, the individual, communities, and nations, and contemplate the future. Its primary deliverables consist of twelve one-hour video episodes, a book, an app, and this website. An informed and educated populace is far more able to reconcile its past, reason about its present, and intentionally create its future. Computing will educate, challenge, and inspire.
Audience
Computing is designed to serve three primary audiences: the intellectually curious general public who is attracted to an exploration of computing’s past, present, and future; from Baby Boomers to Generation Alpha, inspiring them to better understand the technology that shapes their future; and insiders to the world of computing, in celebration of the millions of men and women who have contributed to the rise of computing.
Computing is a global story and so is intended to reach a global audience. While much of modern computing has risen within the United States and the United Kingdom, there are many compelling stories from around the world: from China, the curious connection between the I Ching and binary code and now its rise as a major player in artificial intelligence; the economic, social, and religious forces that have fueled the rise of robots in Japan; the clear and present reality of cyberwar with Russia. Computing is a story that speaks to all of civilization.
