Tech journalists David Pogue of CBS Sunday Morning, Lauren Goode of Wired & Joanna Stern of The Wall Street Journal on Apple's global impact
On April 1, 1976, two scruffy twentysomethings, both named Steve, founded a startup in a garage. Their goal: to bring the revolutionary power of computers to everyone. And over the next five decades, that startup, Apple, has reshaped our lives by marrying advanced technology with design & introducing what are now common breakthroughs like the mouse, WiFi, & touchscreen phones & tablets.
This year marks Apple's 50th anniversary. CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue tells the story of this iconic company gleaned from 150 interviews that he conducted with the legendary figures who shaped Apple. All are featured in his new book, Apple: The First 50 Years. For The Cooper Union's 2026 John Jay Iselin Memorial Lecture, Pogue will be joined by tech journalists, Lauren Goode of Wired & Joanna Stern of The Wall Street Journal, for a conversation about Apple's global impact & the challenges Apple may face as it enters its second half century.
Rizzoli Bookstore will be on site to sell copies of Apple: The First 50 Years & Pogue will be available to sign books purchased on site following the discussion. This special event is being programmed as part of Cooper Union's inauguration celebrations for its 14th president, Steve McLaughlin.
Registration on Eventbrite is required. However, an Eventbrite ticket does not guarantee entry as this is a first-come-first-served free event.
David Pogue is a seven-time Emmy Award winner for his stories on CBS Sunday Morning, a five-time TED speaker, host of 20 NOVA specials on PBS, & a New York Times bestselling author.
