The groundbreaking Unix and C language, which would go on to change the world, were being developed.
7. ITS and hacker culture
The hacker culture started with the Tech Model Railroad Club at MIT. This club made moving model trains and studied how the trains would not collide with each other [1]. For reference, the video below shows why a computer is needed to control moving model trains. The PDP models made by DEC contributed greatly to the hacker culture and the birth of free software. It was a kind of mini computer that was sold at a relatively low price and was particularly popular in universities.
