Walter Isaacson has created a playlist for his book, and has a personal video post on the female programmers here: http://milq.com/bead/great-digital-innovations?sort=recent

The playlist is a collaborative; where Walter asks the community to provide the top digital innovations: "I've just written a book, The Innovators, about how a group of inventors, hackers, geniuses and geeks created the digital revolution. I thought this Bead might be a great way for us to share examples of great innovations around the development of computers and the Internet and the stories behind them."
