 nvite you to the next instalment of our Mary Ann Mansigh Conversation seri
 es: \n\nProgramma 101\, the little computer that could\n1965 New York Wor
 ld Fair: long before Microsoft and Apple and at a time when computers were
  big and expensive machines largely unknown to the general public\, the Ol
 ivetti industries presented the Programma 101\, the world’s first deskto
 p computer. Innovative technological solutions and a sleek design made the
  Programma 101 an instant hit: specialists and public alike queued to see 
 it\, the American press hailed it as a revolution\, more than 40.000 piece
 s were sold worldwide to universities\, banks\, hospitals\, small business
 es…\n…And then? Why don’t we all own an Olivetti laptop today? Some 
 say it’s the nature of the market\, some say it’s a spy story. We hope
  you will find it interesting food for thought!\n\nOur guests for this con
 versation are Beniamino de’ Liguori Carino\, Foundation Adriano Olivett
 i\, and Pierpaolo Perotto\, Finsa – Technology for People.\nThe convers
 ation will take place in person at EPFL and will also be streamed live:\nZ
