This is at VRM Day 2022b, the second of the two in-person gatherings that ProjectVRM holds each year, always the day before the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) commences for the next three days at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley. This time the workshop also included a talk and discussion led by Roger McNamee as part of the Beyond the Web Salon Series led by Doc and Joyce Searls, who (in addition to their work with ProjectVRM) are visiting scholars at the Ostrom Workshop, of Indiana University, which hosts the series. Roger's talk was carried live by Owl , RingCentral and Zoom to IU and the world. Roger's talk so energized attendees that a cabal, informally called Roger & We, was formed in the room and took more shape over the following days at IIW. Its purpose became branded ESC, for End Surveillance Capitalism.

 

ProjectVRM was born in 2006 as a project by Doc Searls when he became a fellow with the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard University. Its blog, wiki, and mailing list (of more than 500 members) remain kindly hosted by the BKC.

The Babbage Engine

 

"Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long."

This is a demonstration of the Babbage Difference Engine that is housed at the Computer History Museum. The machine was faithfully reproduced from the designs of Charles Babbage and to the manufacturing standards of his time. The operator must maintain a steady rhythm with the hand crank, although the force required to do so varies throughout the cycle.

One of the SAGE computers (from 1954) used by NORAD during the Cold War. It was the most sophisticated system of it's era - 20% of the World's computer programmers were employed to write its 250,000 lines of software.
