Here's another recent talk by Doctorow that's 30 minutes in length:

Always worth revisiting are these two classics:
/The coming war on general-purpose computing/

and
/The Coming Civil War over General Purpose Computing/
http://boingboing.net/2012/08/23/civilwar.html
Coming up, he'll probably talk for an entire hour when he gives a
keynote at LibrePlanet 2017 on March 26.

I'm going to be live-streaming this at local hackerspace Skullspace that
morning, guests will be welcome.

p.s.
The end of owner-controlled computing may be fast-arriving in the
hardware market for new equipment. The folks behind the TALOS
crowdfunding campaign have been pointing this out in their updates:

Retrocomputing and motherboard repair knowledge may become very critical
skills for survival of owner-controlled computing in the coming decades
under worse case scenarios.
