Absolutely genius : a brilliant experiment recreating the original experiment of Bell for the first telephone communication, based directly on Bell’s 1876 writings and using period-appropriate tools. It’s fascinating to see how the experimentation follows Bell’s own notes and reveals the progression of the scientist’s thinking step by step in his notebooks. Bravo to the @connections for this formidable initiative. Watch the video — super cool! 👌 Can’t wait for part 2 with the skin-tension system in the second device presented! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6irxbKpKzo #HistoryOfTechnology #HistoryOfScience

I wasn't all that impressed by last year's exhibition on the history of #radio at the Weston Library #Oxford, but now I stumbled across the book and quite liked it: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/01/on-origins-of-radio.html #bookreview #historyOfTechnology #media #sociology

KIT-ITZ History | Geschichte Dec 12

🎉Gleich geht es los!

Seit April 2021 organisiert die Gesellschaft für Technikgeschichte während der Semesterzeiten (Mitte April bis Mitte Juli und Mitte Oktober bis Mitte Februar) alle zwei Wochen freitags von 12-13 Uhr ein Online-Kolloquium. Darin werden Forschungs- und Publikationsprojekte, Ausstellungen, Studiengänge, Lehrkonzepte oder Tagungspläne zur Technikgeschichte im deutschsprachigen Raum vorgestellt und gemeinsam diskutiert. Die Präsentationen können problemorientiert sein und können auch populärwissenschaftliche Anliegen behandeln.

Im Vordergrund steht der Werkstatt-Charakter: Auf einen kurzen Input (20 Min.) folgt eine offene Diskussion unter den Zuhörenden und darauf eine dialogische Reaktion der vortragenden Person.

👉INFOS zur Anmeldung gibt es auf www.geschichte.kit.edu

Happy to report from Esch, Luxembourg where I’m participating in the 2025 Annual Conference of the Society of History of Technology (SHOT). Great presentations and dialogues going on. I’m presenting tomorrow morning. Excited.

ZDNet: MS-BASIC 1.1 introduced programming to a generation – now you can download it for free. “For its day, MS-BASIC 1.1 was quite sophisticated. It included improved garbage collection. (When you only had 4K of RAM, you needed every byte your program could get its hands on.) It also supported FOR loop variables, which were a big improvement over BASIC’s infamous GOTO command.”
