#JulyOT 26: Let's get personal: Computing - Retro computing with Dave Glover and the Altair 8800

Investigate the modern world of ‘personal’ computing, from IoT to mobile, mixed reality, desktop computing, wearables, and more!

Let's get personal: computing

Today we are announcing our new series on YouTube, recorded at the Microsoft Reactor in Redmond!

Let's get personal: computing is an interview show where Jim Bennett interviews guests who have been working in the modern version of personal computing, covering IoT to mobile, mixed reality, desktop computing, wearables, and more. Each guest has built something cool that they want to share that you too can build!
