Great video about IBM and innovation.

It’s a bit longer but worth it. If you’re like me you might have this image of IBM of being a stodgy, “everybody wears a suit” type of company [kind of like PRC back in the day ; ) ]. This video, directed by Errol Morris, with music by Philip Glass, highlight some IBM’s innovations over the years.

One quote caught my attention (It’s about 30:40 in to the video). “NASA never built a rocket. NASA never built a space craft, NASA never built a computer.”

Which got me thinking about all the different vendors, from all the different industries out there. Those that make things. Getting to be part of creating products is the best part of what I do. If your lucky enough the things you create change everything, like being able to land on the moon.
