Reach - Then Teach

Dear Hannah: Derrick Brown's Oral History (#YourStory) (Episode 1.07 First Computer Experience (Apple IIe)) (5m46sec)
In June 2023, The Computer History Museum (Mountain View, CA) published my oral history (https://bit.ly/CHMOH_DB_YT) for my contributions to the computing world as an Internet strategist for The Universal Black Pages (an Internet directory of African-related content), and as the founding director of KnowledgeBase’s Project CHIP (which refurbished and redistributed 1500+ computers to Georgia families and organizations). My oral history experience inspired a new project called #YourStory. #YourStory combines #StandupStorytelling with principles and best practices of oral history recording to document the thoughts and experiences of ordinary people who do extraordinary work. EPISODE 1.07 "TRANSCRIPT": ... 27m15sec ... first computer experience with Apple IIe was not in 1980 (this is what I said - we probably had the Commodore 64 in 1980, followed by the Atari in 1983) ... AppleWorks taught me about word processors, spreadsheets and databases ... I did not know that Miriam Cason was the gatekeeper ... I now remove gatekeepers whenever I discover them ... hmmm (CMcI) ... 30m55sec ... upon discovering the gatekeeper, how did you use your computer access? I made a career database, and was hooked ... 33m01sec hmmmm (CMcI)
