Aspen Institute CEO Walter Isaacson speaks at the Computer History Museum about his new book, "The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution."

From Babbage and Lovelace to Google and Apple, Isaacson tells us the fascinating history of the men and women who brought us computers and the internet, and shows how technology and the humanities are inter-related.
