Speaker:
This is Bill Sikkens, host of User
friendly 2.0 Saturdays
2
:
here on The Answer
with this week's Tech Wednesday.
3
:
As electronics continue to progress, it's
sometimes fun
4
:
to take a little time and look back at
where things have come from.
5
:
This week on User Friendly 2.0,
6
:
we're going to be talking the history
of processors, the history of memory
7
:
and some other things that we take for
granted these days.
8
:
It's interesting
to see where all this started
9
:
and when it did, it was much more
a human labor process.
10
:
We're going to be talking
about the origin of memories
11
:
and how people were employed,
actually make this technology by hand
12
:
for many years.
13
:
Processors are another thing
that started out in the early 70s,
14
:
and at that time, it was just assumed
15
:
you would make up your own electronics
for every circuit.
16
:
And the idea of a microcontroller
like we have in everything this day was
17
:
not something that was readily available
or even conceived of.
18
:
The history of
that is also very interesting.
19
:
Join us this Saturday here on The Answer
for User Friendly 2.0 or any time
20
:
at UserFriendly.show as we talk about
the history of processors and memory.
