Screensaver

From computation with cranks to the first commercially available laptop, Computer Pioneers features short animations about technical trailblazers. In our Smithsonian NMAH, American Enterprise exhibit, a visitor taps any of the figures in the index, and a kinetic silent animation is triggered which illustrates the subject's contribution.
