Progamming Languages Daniel Guerrero

After watching this video during class some reason I started to think, most of the people that study the same thing I do, Computer engineering, are nerds but I know a lot of them that don’t like being called one or try to hide that, not most of them but there are cases of it, and I think those people should really watch this documentary because why would you hate being called a nerd when these people, Wozniak, Bill Gates, the whole Homebrew Computer Club achieved what they have now, some of them even being billionaires or millionaires by being nerds and doing what they like, we can see in the video how the computer and the development of it wasn’t made because some pointy haired boss decided that somebody should invent that or develop that to be able to sell it and make money and the same thing with the software when the computer was developed, it started because some guys that we can call nerds had constant reunions where they developed their own machines to try to impress their frie...
