Are there lessons we can learn from the people who innovated before us? – Podcast with Phil McKinney

I had the pleasure of meeting with Hewlett-Packard CTO, Phil McKinney a while ago. He is a great guy and very inspiring.

Phil is really into podcasts and he has just announced the first in a series of podcasts focusing on this interesting question: Are there lessons we can learn from the people who innovated before us? In the podcasts Phil conducts interviews with HP employees who were the minds behind some of the most important breakthroughs in HP’s history.

The first in the series is an interview with Dave Cochran, the product manager of the groundbreaking HP-35 calculator.  This was the first calculator that could perform all the functions of a slide rule, and it could fit in a pocket – an achievement that was incomprehensible at its time. Dave shares a lot of experiences and anecdotes about his work with Bill Hewlett and David Packard, along with stories about other team members including Steve Wozniak.
