CuriousMarc | At the Connections Museum: the insane telephone technology that led to today's computers @CuriousMarc | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 days ago
We tour Seattle's Connections Museum, and marvel at rarely seen, fully functioning telephone exchange equipment, from the electro-mechanical 1900's to the all-computerized system of the 1970s. Next time you use a modern computer, give a thought to Bell Labs who invented the transistor and the Unix operating system, all driven by the need for better telecommunication technology.
