No Such Podcast: Part One: "Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People" by Rear Admiral Grace Hopper

Rear Admiral Grace Hopper was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy Rear Admiral. She was a pioneer of computer programing, and among her accomplishments, Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages. She was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom – the nation’s highest civilian honor – in 2016. In 1982, then-Captain Hopper delivered a lecture at NSA entitled, “Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People.” Her insights on leadership and her prescient predictions still hold weight today, more than forty years later. In this two-part bonus episode of No Such Podcast, we bring you the lecture in full. Enjoy! Learn more at NSA.gov. Find the show transcript and other episodes at . Discover job opportunities at .
