Think!
This is a great PDF based pictorial history of the technological giant from the 1890’s to 2001.
Sometimes it’s difficult to remember that there was tech before Microsoft Windows and PCs. This is a good reminder of the pioneer’s shoulders that the current tech leaders are standing upon.
From tabulating machines and typewriters, to Apollo Lunar guidance computers, mainframe computing, and beyond … good fun!

“for we really only can see into the future as far as we can see into the past”
This is a deep and beautifully put sentiment.
In John Aubrey’s “Brief Lives”, where he memorialized the interesting characters he knew in his day, back in Seventeenth Century England, there is a chapter about the great scholar Thomas Hobbes, who had died recently, vignettes of whose life Aubrey recounted there. It contains this thought: “When a man of learning dies, how much learning dies with him!” The remembrance of past achievements and ideas is a treasure constantly being lost to time. But, at the very least, to be worthy of being considered a truly civilized person, one has to be aware of one’s own ignorance and its always expanding circle, and do what is possible to slow down its increase.
So, JohnW: Let’s Think!, by all means, about all this. And thanks for posting here the link to that document.
