About this ebook

Barely fifty years ago a computer was a gargantuan, vastly expensive thing that only a handful of scientists had ever seen. The world’s brightest engineers were stymied in their quest to make these machines small and affordable until the solution finally came from two ingenious young Americans. Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce hit upon the stunning discovery that would make possible the silicon microchip, a work that would ultimately earn Kilby the Nobel Prize for physics in 2000. In this completely revised and updated edition of The Chip, T.R. Reid tells the gripping adventure story of their invention and of its growth into a global information industry. This is the story of how the digital age began.

The Wizards of Menlo Park: It's time to set the record straight: Thomas Edison's greatest achievement was not the lightbulb. In fact, he wasn't even the first to invent it. The unrecognized master stroke of Edison was he brought together some of the brightest minds to collaborate, exchange ideas, and work in creative ways to change the world as we knew it. In the first episode of Teamistry, host Gabriela Cowperthwaite journeys to late-19th century Menlo Park, where a team of unsung heroes is hard at work setting up an electricity grid that could light up a New York city block. There's a lot at stake: financial ruin, countless hours of labor, and Edison's very reputation. We hear from David Burkus, author of The Myths of Creativity and Jill Jonnes, author of Empires of Light. We also get the insights of Robert Friedel, University of Maryland history professor and coauthor of Edison's Electric Light, Kathleen Carlucci, Director of the Thomas Edison Center, and Paul Israel, Director of th

Aliens, Illuminati, Occult & The Hollywood Connection: “Conspiracy Theories and Unpopular Culture” podcast host and founder of IlluminatiWatcher.com, Isaac Weishaupt returns to explain how aliens, UFOs, the Occult, and Hollywood are all part of a secret agenda to bring about a New World Order. Isaac reveals how members of the Occult (like Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons) have been communicating with aliens for years, how likely it is that humans already have alien DNA in their makeup, and how Hollywood has been using movies (like E.T. and the John Carpenter Apocalypse Trilogy) to prepare the masses to accept this new religion of the New World Order. He describes Project Mockingbird and Project Blue Beam and how the CIA and the Pentagon factor into both. He discusses the conspiracy theories surrounding 5G and technology, and where Lucifer and Satan fit into this picture.
