An exhibition at the New York Historical Society chronicles the golden age of computer innovation in New York.
“Before the 1980s, New York was the physical, social, and economic center for technology,” says Stephen Edidin, curator of Silicon City: Computer History Made in New York, an exhibition at the New York Historical Society, which opens November 13. “The basic message is, don’t forget your past because the history of computing didn’t start with Steve Jobs.”
