How did Taiwan become a powerhouse in high-tech manufacturing? Not by imitating Western innovation, as many believe. Join us to hear Honghong Tinn, author of Island Tinkerers: Innovation and Transformation in the Making of Taiwan's Computing Industry, share the fascinating history of how hobbyists and enthusiasts in Taiwan helped transform the country. Taiwanese engineers tinkering with “black-boxed” computers from international aid in the 1960s led to them making computers of their own. Their creativity and invention laid the foundation for Taiwanese global tech giants like Acer, Asus, Quanta, and TSMC.
