Great documentary about George Boole and its impact on everyone’s lives.
Really insightful and a must see! On top of everything, it really made me think that the environment where on his has a huge impact on the outcome of your work (added to your natural skills and traits).
Most probably if we would have gone to Cambridge University instead of Corke in Ireland, he would not have the degrees of freedom to develop knowledge completely outside the academic mainstream.
Additionally, the serendipitous path that made the Claude Shannon MIT engineer, 80 years after An Investigation of the Laws of Thought being published to stumbled upon it and use it to create the transistors and from there on all that was possible to achieve.
Every time i will came across a Boolean formula i will look at it differently!
Enjoy!
