So we're going to continue on this theme that we've talked about on past podcasts,
and that's this idea that books are the original hyperlinks,
that they lead you from one idea or one person to another, very much like the web does today.
So the subject of today's podcast, Robert Noyes, I actually found out about him the same way I discovered Edwin Land,
and that was through Isaacson's book on Steve Jobs.
After hearing how much Steve Jobs was influenced by Robert Noyce,
it made me want to learn more about who he was and why he was so influential.
Today, we're going to be learning about the life and career of Robert Noyce through the book, The Intel Trinity,
How Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove Built the World's Most Important Company.
This book's by Michael Malone.
We're going to go a little bit out of order today.
When I originally started...
Reading this book and coming up with the idea for this podcast,
I thought I was going to talk about both founders of Intel.
So Intel was founded by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore.
So we're going to touch a little bit on Gordon Moore today.
But after I was done reading and then I would review the notes and the outline
that I put together for these podcasts, I realized that 90% of what I wanted to talk about was with Robert Noyce.
So that's why this episode is just basically about him.
Gordon Moore is obviously important.
