00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:27,829
We spend half our lives staring into
glass.

2
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:34,389
We tap on plastic keys. We drag cursors
across glowing screens.

3
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:39,590
The technology we interact with feels so
clean and logical.

4
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:47,109
But underneath the glass, it's messy and
it is profoundly human.

5
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:51,429
If you know where to look, you can find
the fingerprints.

6
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:56,469
Somewhere deep inside the mouse you hold
in your hand, there is a shadow of a

7
00:00:56,479 --> 00:01:00,640
classified Canadian bowling ball from
the Cold War,

8
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,909
hidden in the test files you type out,
there are ghost lights dancing on the

9
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:12,549
wing tips of a World War II bomber and a
cartoon firefighter from the 1930s who

10
00:01:12,549 --> 00:01:15,590
drove a gravitydeying car.

11
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:21,748
Every function, framework, and flicker
of code has a story. Our machines are

12
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:24,709
haunted by the people who built them.

13
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:28,640
Their jokes, their late night
desperation,

14
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,549
and their grand impossible dreams.

15
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:40,149
I'm Daina Bouquin, and this is Lore in the
Machine. Stories from Beyond the Screen,

16
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:45,429
uncovering the hidden histories and
surprising origins woven into the fabric
