Silicon Minds is an engaging discussion with the innovators, visionaries, researchers and chroniclers who helped bring about the age of information technology. The show is about people and their stories -- the dreams that happened according to plan and many of the fortuitous outcomes that could have never been predicted. It touches on every part of our lives from enterprise hardware and software to entertainment to kitchen appliances. Silicon Minds asks how technologies came to be and what they mean.
