Do you know where I can download this in high resolution?

We (IEEE Student Branch Seville -Spain-) are working on it. If we success, I'll post a link here.

Thanks for your interest.

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.

@112smosquito . From this view ,I agree.

[112smosquito]

@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.

@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...

[112smosquito]

@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.
