That is a great TED talk about the invention of VISICALC. Thanks for sharing it. I remember when we put VISICALC on the Atari 800 in 1981 and then, in 1982, developing the "Workslate", a 8x10 notebook computer that was build around a spreadsheet. The concept of a "spreadsheet" was truly a game changer for personal and business computing.
