Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the history of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa
Questions include: What could the following people have done with Wolfram? Aristotle, Archimedes, Emmy Noether, Vega, etc. - What would Ada Lovelace have done with current computing? And the possibilities? - Did Galileo have some mechanical math tools? - How does the abacus fit into the story of calculators? - What did Ada Lovelace say when asked about her coding style? "My code is like poetry, it's logical, elegant, and never divided by zero!" - Would authors such as Shakespeare find any use in Wolfram tech? How might he react to technology in general? - What about someone like Socrates? Or Plato?
