 The people in this series weren't simply inventing electrical systems. They were creating the technological foundations of the modern world and proving that history is rarely driven by a lone genius. It is built through collaboration, competition, and countless connections between people whose stories deserve to be remembered.

+**Clarity and focus. **
+Clarity and focus. That's what I was lacking. I retired a year ago from my “day job.”
+A year ago with a goal to get my online story telling world cleaned up and moving forward.
+With some issues on the home front filling my world with distractions, I didn't have clarity and focus, until now.
+Over the last few days, I've got into the zone of clarity and focus.
+I'm not really making “tech history videos.”
+I'm building a connected universe of Geek History. With my websites and the videos.
+That's my differentiator.
+I love telling stories about the forgotten geeks.
+History isn't just about who gets remembered. It's about reconnecting the people, ideas, and events that everyone else pushed into the margins.

+Thinking long-term
+Looking at the direction you've taken with the YouTube channel, I could see your site navigation eventually becoming something like:
+Series:
+Evolution of the Internet
+The War of the Currents
+Windows & Linux
+etc.
+Standalone Stories (everything else until it grows into a series)
+The GeekHistory Philosophy (about the site and your mission)
+Footer:
+"History remembers the legend. GeekHistory tells the whole story."
+GeekHistory explores the real, nuanced journey of human innovation by challenging the oversimplified stories we've all been taught.

The Guru 42 Universe is not run by a university professor with a team of editors and advisers working to developing a website. Tom Peracchio is simply someone who loves technology and history and is amazed by how little people know about the great minds in the world of technology.
