  • As we look back at the greatest inventions of all time, one generally comes across the creation of Telstar 1, the first communication satellite that was launched on July 10, 1962. Telstar was a collaboration between various broadcasting agencies from the U.S., France, and Great Britain which enabled the broadcasting of TV programs across the Atlantic. The 3-foot long satellite was also the first to send the television signals, telephone calls, and fax images through space. The satellite was launched into space on a Delta rocket and circled the planet after every two and a half hours, only to transmit beams between the U.S. and Europe. This is a photograph of the satellite being mounted to the Thor-Delta rocket in the year 1962.
  • #T3 #Throwbackthursday William (Bill) Moggridge is one of the pioneers to venture into the domain of composite software and hardware designing, while duly integrating the pivotal human dimension. He also introduced the concept of laptop computers to the world of automation which was done by inventing GRiD Compass 100, the first commercial laptop computer machine presented to the world. Bill completed the design of the computer in 1979, however, it was first launched in April 1982 and was announced in the market as Model 1101. GRiD Compass caught the attention of NASA and was adopted, to contribute successfully and gainfully in the operational functioning of the space shuttles of the 1980's era. In this week’s T3 we present a picture of an astronaut named John Creighton posing with a GRiD Compass aboard a space shuttle discovery mission in 1985.
  • #T3 #ThrowbackTechThursdays One of the most interesting facts about the year 1900 is the creation of the world's largest camera which was built by a Chicago camera builder named J. A. Anderson. The camera was built to capture a full-length photograph of one of the most beautiful trains of the 19th century called

  • Date: 26 Mar 2020 #T3 #throwbacktechthursdays Wiliam Bradford Shockley, John Bardeen, and Walter Brattain were inventors of the transistor, one of the most significant inventions in the twentieth century that led to the discovery of mobile phones, televisions, and computers. The invention took place in Bell Telephone Laboratories, a research and scientific development company based in New York where the three of them worked together. Here is a photograph that was used by Bell Labs to officially announce the invention of the transistor in 1948.
  • Date: 12 Mar 2020 #T3 #ThrowbackTechThursdays The name most closely associated with the invention of wireless telegraphy – what we now know simply as the radio – is Guglielmo Marconi. Here he is photographed as he reads signals on a tape recorder (left) with a 10-inch spark coil used for ship-to-shore radio tests in this 1901 photo.
  • Date: 5 Mach 2020 #T3 #ThrowbackTechThursdays a day late this week. We revisit history with an iconic picture featuring Paul Allen and Bill Gates who are seen sitting surrounded by computers, shortly after they signed a major contract with IBM, to write software for their upcoming line of PCs in 1980.
