Hackers: Wizards of the Electronic Age is a 1985 TV documentary about the hacker community.

The film includes footage of a hacker conference, and interviews with some of the programmers that created the personal computer revolution, including Bill Atkinson, Bill Budge, Doug Carlston, John Draper, Andrew Fluegelman, Lee Felsenstein, Richard Greenblatt, Andy Hertzfeld, David Hughes, Susan Kare, Richard Stallman, Bob Wallace, Robert Woodhead, Steve Wozniak, and others.

All interviews in this documentary were shot over a long weekend at a 1984 hacker conference by the Whole Earth Catalog editors Stewart Brand and Kevin Kelly in Sausalito, California. The event itself (the hacker conference) was inspired by Steven Levy's book Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.

The film details the experiences of "the greatest Internet pioneer you've never heard of," Josh Harris. The dot-com millionaire founded Pseudo.com, the first Internet television network during the infamous tech boom of the late '90s. After achieving prominence amongst the Silicon Valley set, Harris became interested in controversial human experiments which tested the effects of media and technology on the development of personal identity. Ondi Timoner documented the major business-related moments of Harris's life for more than a decade, setting the tone for her documentary of the virtual world and its supposed control of human lives.

Quand Steve Jobs est mort, le monde a pleuré. Mais comment expliquer le chagrin de millions de personnes qui ne le connaissaient pas ? Ce film évocateur retrace le parcours de Steve Jobs, d'une petite maison de banlieue aux temples zen du Japon, en passant par le bureau du PDG de l'entreprise la plus riche du monde, et explore comment la vie et l'œuvre de Steve Jobs ont façonné notre relation avec l'ordinateur. The Man in the Machine est une réévaluation provocante et parfois surprenante de l'héritage d'une icône.

Kaleil Isaza Tuzman et Tom Herman ont un rêve depuis qu'ils sont devenus amis à l'âge de quinze ans : s'enrichir en développant leur propre société dot com, dans un aspect de l'interface informatique. Aujourd'hui, à la fin de la vingtaine, ils ont eu l'idée qu'ils pensaient faire leur fortune, à savoir, comme Tom l'appelle, des " contraventions de stationnement " : l'entreprise sera l'interface en ligne de perception des recettes pour les administrations municipales. GovWorks.com a vu le jour en mai 1999 avec seulement une idée. Le processus de construction de l'entreprise se concentre sur l'obtention de capital-risque basé uniquement sur l'idée, avec la mécanique réelle du site Web apparemment presque une pensée après coup.
