Many of the technologies underlying the Information Age are being spearheaded by U.S. small business and its entrepreneurial culture. Certainly, from the huge consumer electronics firms in Japan to software development businesses in India, the rest of the world participates and competes.
Disturbing and upsetting products of the revolution in science and technology the harnessing of steam, the internal combustion engine, the air plane, electronics, plastics, and the release of atomic energy were used to mutilate, destroy and kill.
From the radar room he watched the Plumie place an object in the air lock and withdraw. He watched from a scanner inside the ship as someone brought in what the Plumie had left. An electronics man bustled forward. He looked it over quickly. It was complex, but his examination suddenly seemed satisfying to him. But a grayish vapor developed and he sniffed and wrinkled his nose.
Historians of the future may well characterise the 20th century as 'the century of electricity & electronics'. But Edison's D.C. generators could not in themselves, have achieved the spectacular progress that has been made.
The person who received the report in the electronics branch was one of the old veterans of Projects Sign and Grudge. He knew all about UFO's. He was gracious enough to tell the chief of the radar lab to call if he had any more "trouble." We never heard from them again. Maybe they found out what their targets were.
For himself he anticipated only the deep satisfaction of accomplishment. He'd wanted to do great things since he was a small boy, and in electronics since his adolescence, when he'd found textbooks in the libraries of looted spaceships. He'd gone to Walden in the hope of achievement.
Krim is a place of lively commercial activity, where an electronics engineer should easily find employment. It is said to be progressive and there is much organized research " "I wouldn't want to be a kept engineer, sir," said Hoddan apologetically. "I'd rather ... well ... putter on my own." "Impractical, but sensible," commented the ambassador. He turned a page. "There's Darth.
The electronics chief waved at him and trotted by into the project office. He returned in a moment with a portable tube and circuit tester under his arm and paused to ask, "What's up, boy-oh?" Rick answered briefly, "No transistors, no work." "Bored?" "Not exactly, sir. But I wish I could do something useful instead of just hanging around." Gee-Gee stroked his magnificent mustache.
For a long moment he listened, then held out the earphone with a broad grin. "Anyone care to listen?" Everyone did. They took turns, with each application of the phone to an ear accompanied by expressions of astonishment. Barby looked at her brother with new respect. "It's just fantastic! How on earth does it work?" Dr. Miller chuckled. "I'm sure you don't want a full course in electronics, Barby.
With the exception of their hearts, and sense of seeing and hearing, they might have been dead men. Laughing to themselves, Quent Miles and Charles Brett picked up their instruments, walked past them, and disappeared through the door. Charles Brett swaggered into the control room of the electronics building.
