By the way the individuals shown are James Clerk Maxwell, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Alva Edison, Gugleilmo Marconi, Robert Goddard, Alan Turing, W.R. Shockley's eye, The New Mexico VLA, The Space Shuttle, Your Blackberry, and The International Space Station.
What was left off was Oliver Heaviside, Albert Einstein, Alan Blumlein, James Watson Watt, Konrad Zuse, Robert Noyce, RJ Widlar, Donald O. Pedersen. And others. Lots and lots of others.
Untrue. Knowledge is actually valuable in itself. Creations of man like art and science are valuable in and of themselves. Nothing is valuable only for it's practical applications. Beauty is valuable. Love is valuable. Awesomeness is valuable. Electronics has elements of all these things and more. I wish you knew of how I feel about a simple diffpair amplifier. It might change your world.
@112smosquito . Ill beat you never read Shakespeare.Did you forget entropy laws ? War and death , pain and agony are the only human trues, mosquito. IEEE and a lot of many others produce this , in this mask world ( left or right wing, communist, capitalist, religious, or whatelse more man can ´produce..) . In which planet do you live ?
@112smosquito Saw it ? I just said you never read Shakespeare... ( much less a discrete "Brave New World "...). OK. We got yet enough tech for being happy for milleniuns to come, but it dont works a penny! Why ? Can you Tell me why your "progressive" work , doesnt ,infact, achieve the aims ,which it claims achieved ? (And being this since from the discovery of handling fire ?)
@miguelmouta We must then agree to disagree. Look at the advance in communications in the past 10 years. Everyone now has a mobile phone. Tell me that that is bad... I know of more instances than I can even recount where a mobile phone has saved someone's life.
Tell me that you want to live in a cave, because I know you don't. Yet, I understand your scepticism. Every electrical engineer shares it believe me. We know that what we do will have an enormous impact upon people's lives.
@112smosquito .Technology is necessity, not art,despite its warnings from French Illuminists ! - incubators of Jeffersons Phyllosophy). Social degeneration,overcrowding, Drugadiciton, crime, massification,exasperous competition , consumation, despersonalization, "robotization",war - from patents to weapons- behaviour mannipulation by means of massive propaganda... All is nothing, compared to the enlightment of the advent of the mobile phone...
@miguelmouta Anyone who has ever designed a complex circuit or seen a phased locked loop at work knows that electrical engineering is part art, part science. But, you are right. Engineering has it's roots in war. But then, we all do. Wherever you live, it was defined by some war or other. But I live in hope that that was then and this is now.
The challenge for today is to find new ways to relate to one another that take us beyond war. And I think electronics has a big role to play in that.
Really we EE's just say yes it can be done regardless of whether it can be done or not.
More often than not we are right. The obstacles can be got around or are not as bad as all that. If it truly cannot be done... Then ship our jobs off to China.
Yes it can. And what importance this have ? Please , try to consider as the true evolution only the one concerning moral values. Thats the real source of inspiration. The rest is mere question of survival technics.
@miguelmouta Yes, moral questions are more important than technical questions. However, the computer you are typing on allows us to discuss these moral questions with greater frequency and more impact than if we were talking over two tin cans with strings attached.
That's what the IEEE is about. IEEE members do their work so that we can have these conversations.
Conception of devices such a wheel or a number zero, impacts -and works- for ever . But It happens, borns, when needed, naturally. Everybody is going to the Rijksmuseum, by wire, today. Not for love ,but as consequence of economics needs. Even small animals can make tools, which even allows their self defense. Its important to not mistake ethics with love to esthetics.
Engineering is as eternal as is art. The Roman Roads and aqueducts are an earliest example. Engineering is more difficult to understand than a painting, but that's okay. Engineering is halfway between science and art. It's a mixture. Anyone who has seen a chip oxidised at different levels knows that there is beauty in the fab process, and not just that, that there is beauty in the creation of new designs.
2smosquito Knowledgement by itself, only got value when applied for practical purposes, especially for no other than to powerful politicians and rich people. Otherwise is a mere campaign for rector votes . But , thinking about engineering creation as an essence of man , I wonder for which is more impactant : An atomic bomb , or a tunnel web in Vietnan.
I fell asleep so I don't feel it would be fair for me to make a comment. I'll take a nap and try to watch this again, and will let you know how I feel about it.
Interesting how they didn't show Shockley isn't it? In spite of his flaws he was still a great man. I think I have to say it's symbolic of engineering actually. Most of us are well... a bit different.
Marconi was a fascist, because Italy was and is ungovernable. Bob Pease is, well, Bob Pease. Your favorite engineering instructor is mad, admit it. You are an engineer because it makes you feel good about yourself, and you like that we're a bit different don't you?
