Sputnik, 1957. I was 11 at the time, and remember the excitement. as we looked forward to Science Fiction as Science Truth.
One of my instructors in tech school (late 70s) told us: We give you just enough to get you in the door, you need to be self taught and learning new things for the rest of your career. I was taking Broadcast electronics.... turn tables, tape carts, NTSC (never twice the same colour?) Yeah a few things have changed since then. Same instructor used to say: The more you know, the more you know you don't know. I always remember that when dealing with those who know everything...
That is so true!
Never Twice the Same Color. That is so true 😂😂🤣. I also worked in TV in the 90s
Wow, I had heard of PLATO, but I had the vague memory of it sounding fantastic or even fantastical. Now I guess I see why. Amazing. Thank you for sharing these memories!
welcome!
I once saw a PLATO terminal at UIUC in the late 1980s. I recall it looked bizarre compared to the slick Macs.
That was excellent. Thanks! I like the advice on having a synthesis education to solve "unsolvable" problems, something that I keep forgetting about. I tend to give up on a problem and don't teach myself differently, but having knowledge from different areas opens up possible solutions I haven't thought of before. :)
Thanks glad you liked the video!
Fond memories. Never had the pleasure of working on it but used it for a control systems course...
❤• Excellent Historical Synopsis ...Thanks!😊
I Love retro Space Stuff; I packed the Wife & 3 little ladies in the truck & drove down from the Flint area to the Neil Armstrong Museum. Try to get close to the Mercury Capsule so it looks like your in it 😛
The kiddos loved it, I grew up going there when we drove down to visit family in Tennessee.
Excellent Job Sir!
Well done DJ! Great info indeed.
I was using UIUC Notes until the mid-1990s.
