It's time for little levity. These electronics-themed comics from a 1944 issue of Radio-Craft magazine have an electronics theme, so you can claim looking at them is work-related since you might use one for your next conference or project status presentation. Some of the concepts are utterly foreign to contemporary readers, like user-serviceable electronics apperati [sic] and radio sets that receive over-the-air signals with analog information modulated on the carrier. Radio was still somewhat of a novelty to much of the public, and "radio can do anything" memes were common in comics. I took the liberty of colorizing them. There is a list of many more similar comics at the bottom of the page in case you haven't seen them yet. Enjoy.

Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
