This talk is not saying that these problems were "solved" decades ago but rather, decades ago we had much better instincts and in many ways we were on the right track, and now we're not.
Except that the track we're on now was started then. Unix was created during the time period he's talking about. We've just stopped looking at the other stuff. They weren't "on the right track", they didn't have a track. That's the point: they were doing everything
