CIVIC MENTOR / TECH TIP / Electronics / Popular / All Ages (#1)

Posted: 4 Dec 14
Change #1:  4 Dec -- added a Wikipedia link to "Popular Electronics," in para. 3.


DO YOU APPRECIATE HOW "POPULAR ELECTRONICS MAGAZINE" MAKES LEARNING FUN FOR ALL READING AGES?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ABLE TO BROWSE ALL OF THEIR PUBLISHED ISSUES,
THE ENTIRE COLLECTION (From 1954 to 1982 -- 28 years worth)?



1.  Purpose

To place in easy, permanent reach a historical treasure.  Look and see how electronics knowledge had progressed for nearly three decades beyond the mid-20th Century.  See what they thought would be happening now (their best guesses); how right or wrong they were.


2.  Background

I remember, as a young child of about 7, until well into my adult years, how much I enjoyed Popular Electronics and Popular Mechanics -- still do -- and how usefully they fed my life-long private knowledge base.

I think a look by the new generations -- might be just as interesting -- as the nostalgic feelings which the older generations might experience as they travel back in time.

And, of course, those who are serious about electronics will surely gain much from this resource.


3.  Action

Anyhow, here's the link from AmericanRadioHistory.com -- click here.  I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I.  And, if you'd like to explore the story of this great publication, further, here is a Wikipedia discussion.

This bulletin will be here on this blog -- waiting -- for whenever it's convenient for your return -- and later, logically embedded into the Mentor System-modules under construction -- so it will pop into view, whenever you need or desire -- along with much else that may be significant to you.

Many thanks to my Facebook friend, Florian G., for this welcome contribution to our common good.
