Come to retroTECH at the GT Library for a group viewing of one of the Long Now Foundation’s Lecture series and enjoy the conversation it sparks. We’ll dip into the archive at longnow.org and find a talk that connects with retroTECH’s research concern -- how our lives shape technology, and are shaped by it, over time – and follow that with an open discussion guided by a Georgia Tech librarian, archivist, or faculty member.

This month's video is "Art & Science of Deep Time: Conceiving the Inconceivable in the 19th Century." Historian Caroline Winterer gave this talk in 2020, locating the emergence of the idea of deep time, i.e. thinking about 10,000 years at a time.

retroTECH’s Long Now Lecture Series is part of our charge to create the future by exploring and preserving our technological pasts.
