On this day in 2006, Google announced it would buy YouTube for $1.65 billion in stock. YouTube had 67 employees at the time, and Google said YouTube would keep running on its own. Twenty years later, it's where you're probably watching me.

On this day in 2007, people on my live stream argued over one big computer running virtual machines versus a few smaller ones with one job each. My Mac mini was mostly a streaming box then. My answer: it depends on the task.

Friday marks 150 years since Bell and Watson held their first two-way long-distance telephone conversation.
We’ve come a long way.
Some traditions came with us. ☎️
150 Years of Technical Support
By JB
#Telephone #TechHistory #Humor #writingcommunity

A lightly aged broadside titled “150 Years of Technical Support,” with an archival black-and-white photograph of early telephone operators at a switchboard. The text traces the telephone from Bell and Watson’s 1876 long-distance conversation through human operators, machines carrying calls farther, and automated answering systems. It ends: “The tradition continues. ‘Please listen carefully, as our menu options have changed.’”

On this day in 2011, a viewer asked me if he should wait for Windows 8 to buy a laptop. My answer: if you need one now, don't wait. If you can hold out, save up for a touchscreen.

Before GPS, a wrong turn could ruin a trip. Jeff Ton recalls MapQuest directions, fading radio, and film cameras. Then GPS, satellite radio, and digital photos changed everything. What did road trips lose and gain? Time flew fast. #RoadTrip #GPS #SatelliteRadio #TravelTech #TechHistory #DigitalPhoto

On this day in 1942, Chester Carlson was granted U.S. Patent 2,297,691 for electrophotography. Four years earlier, in Astoria, New York, his first copy said only: 10.-22.-38 Astoria. That scrap became the photocopier.
