Edwin Chin

In class we saw “Triumph of the Nerd” and were introduced to how evolution of the computer benefited from a  group of nerd idealists to further create future corporations known as IBM, Apple ,and Microsoft. Edwin Chin was a child  interested in the computer market trade. He like other nerds found more comfort in experimenting with computer parts than having a life of an average kid their age. Women and sports seem to be less interesting, than computer languages , junk food, and rock music. 


I could not find a lot of info into Edwin Chin,  only that he was among a lot of nerds who wanted to further experiment, understand, and upgrade computer systems. From seeing the movie, I see that a lot of interest was in the build up of the computer.  


I never really knew the whole story of Bill Gates, evolution of computers and how DOS became a legal contract battle. When we saw the movie, it made sense. What Bill Gates did in order to further complete the Microsoft cooperations growth.  Even though it may not be ethical, it was the way of growing a market. Make sure you patent your inventions.


I admire Bill Gates way of evolving, not his ethics but that is how the business world is.
