Why You Should Care "Moore"

I'm going to imagine that for most of you history was a boring subject in high school and you had little interest in the topic. Pardon my French but as the lyrics of Paul Simon state: “when I think back on all the crap I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all.”
Ask for audience response: how many of you agree with Paul Simon?
In any case, in addition to my favorite subject during high school, of course history, and I took the equivalent of eight years of history classes in four years: I was exposed to the best technology that the era had to offer.

Considering what was about to occur during the subsequent era of ubiquitous computing it was the most valuable class that I took in high school.

In today's talk I'm going to show you how critical cities in action are--in this case the Greater Philadelphia area--for technology development and commercial success.
Tell stories about individual people.
Theme: Cities in Action
What advantages did Athens have vs. Sparta?
What advantages did Rome have over its arch-rival, Carthage?
Reason
My reason for believing that cities in action are critical are to consider is that Athens outperformed Sparta. By providing more research resources Athens easily surpassed Sparta which was a slave holding city-state and it remained a more backward city.
Example
For example, Athens produced the most preeminent thinkers of the day including the best scientist, Aristotle.
Point of View
Athens achieved the necessary elements of scientific endeavor: a leisure class, intellectual interest, and preeminent education.
Story about Aristotle
Point of View
Rome needed an effective communication technique to defeat its enemies such as the Gauls, the Britons, and Carthage.
Reason
Julius Caesar created the Caesar cipher to effectively communicate with his subordinates to defeat the Britons.
Example
Rome vs. Carthage
The biggest rival during the rise of Rome in the Western Mediterranean was its arch competitor Carthage. What advantages did Rome have as a city in action over Carthage?
Ancient Carthage was, probably, roughly as diverse and multicultural as Saudi Arabia is today: A wealthy state with a small population, Carthage employed foreigners to do her nasty jobs and relied on foreign mercenaries rather than citizens to do her fighting. At the other, positive end of the spectrum of ancient states welcoming to foreigners and their ways was Rome. Romans imagined that their city had been founded from a flotsam of the accursed, exiles, and broken men. And loyal to those origins, Rome energetically split her citizenship into rights and ranks, and granted parts of it to her friends, who could eventually aspire to citizenship (National Review).
Although he never faced the Carthaginians Julius Caesar was one of the most preeminent Roman conquerors.
The story of Julius Caesar is an intensely dramatic one, which has fascinated generation after generation, attracting the attention of Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw, not to mention numerous novelists and screenwriters. Caesar was one of the ablest generals of any era, who left accounts of his own campaigns that have rarely--perhaps never--been surpassed in literary quality. At the same time he was a politician and statesman who eventually took supreme power in the Roman Republic; he made himself a monarch in every practical respect, although among the Romans he of course would never have taken the name of king or he would would have been killed (Goldsworthy, 1). In any case, he eventually was assassinated for fear he would become a permanent dictator.
The first well-known cipher, a substitution cipher, was used by Julius Caesar around 58 B.C.E. It is now referred to as the Caesar cipher. Caesar shifted each letter in his military commands in order to make them appear meaningless should the enemy intercept them.
Imagine that Cassandra and Julius wanted to communicate using the Caesar Cypher. First, they would need to agree on a shift, for example, three letters. So to encrypt her message Cassandra would need to shift three letters of her original message. Thus, A becomes D, B becomes E, C becomes F, and so on. This unreadable, or encrypted message, is then sent to Julius directly. Then Julius simply subtracts the shift of three letters in order to read the original message.
Incredibly, this basic cipher was used by military leaders for hundreds of years after Caesar.
Point of View Restated
In any case, the Caesar cipher led to an advance in cryptography in computing.

Margaret Hamilton, whose handwritten code saved the moon landing in 1969🚀, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom today by Barack Obama at the White House. Her code helped in prioritising the importance task to perform first. She was one of many forgotten and over-looked women in the scientific community, but articles in recent years and social media support have (thankfully) made her name mainstream. She rocked NASA & coined the term "software engineering". In first picture she is standing next to the navigation software that she and her MIT team produced for the Apollo project.
