Computers To The Moon

   How did the United States manage to get humans to the moon in the 1960s at a time when PCs didn't exist and computers were the size of a small warehouse?
   Computers to the Moon tells the story of computers aboard early U.S. spacecraft, leading to the monumental and little-known effort to create a computer capable of landing a spacecraft on the moon. 
   From our highly-technical society today, it’s easy to look back half a century and believe that a real spacecraft computer was impossible. Before the Apollo program, such a thing didn’t exist. But the history of the pioneering Apollo Guidance Computer demonstrates that ingenious, motivated, dedicated engineers and software developers, even half a century ago, could accomplish amazing things. In Computers to the Moon, you'll learn what they created, how it worked, how the astronauts used it, and get a glimpse of what how the computer managed a real moon landing.

HOW SMART IS MY SMART TV?

"You have a smart TV and use a cable service. You have never explored any of the free or paid services available on your TV. Most of your friends and neighbors are in the same category. Hewie Poplock will show you how to add and use many free services. He will also describe many of the services you can use to view free movies and TV Shows. You might eventually "cut the cable" by firing your cable company and only using streaming services, once you experience how easy it is. All that is needed is a Smart TV and an Internet connection. While many of the services are free, you can get local, national, and ad-free programming, as well as most sporting events with fee based services.
