Hopper's famous 1982 lecture on "Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People," has long been publicly unavailable because of the obsolete media on which it was recorded. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) finally managed to retrieve the footage for the National Security Agency (NSA), which posted the lecture in two parts on YouTube.

If anyone ever deserved a tribute song by They Might Be Giants, it's this lady.

Thanks!

I know facts about the sun from They Might Be Giants!

I know which city used to be Constantinople, thanks to They Might Be Giants!

I think we should maintain a state where this video isn't available to watch since we've always done things this way.

One of the few giants upon whose shoulders we all stand.
