Speaker:
Hi, this is Bill Sikkens, host of User
Friendly 2.0 Saturdays
2
:
here on The Answer
with this week's Tech Wednesday.
3
:
Here at User Friendly,
we spend most of our time looking at
4
:
new technology and the exciting things
that are up and coming.
5
:
But sometimes we do look at the retro
side of things and take a look back.
6
:
This week, we're going to be exploring
the idea of what would happen
7
:
if we had never progressed
beyond vacuum tubes.
8
:
So in other words,
if today everything was still manufactured
9
:
the way it was done in the 40s and 50s,
what would things look like now?
10
:
What do we have? Computers.
11
:
What do we have? Smartphones?
12
:
What do we have cell phones at all?
13
:
Would things be similar or very different?
14
:
But the internet exists in some way.
15
:
These are all good questions, and it's
going to be very interesting to find out
16
:
the different direction
that technology could have gone
17
:
if the microprocessor
had never been invented.
18
:
So this little invention
has changed a lot,
19
:
but let's see
what the world would look like otherwise.
