![]() ![]() The magnetron housed inside each microwave really captivated my attention this is a really wonderful device! The comparison of old to new made a great story for children in my mind-I thought they would get a kick out of seeing a series of books that show the original invention next to what they have in their home. I saw a photograph of the first microwave and was astounded at the size and science that went into its discovery. ![]() ![]() Just as in the movie, Hidden Figures, that shows the size of the original computer (the size of an entire room), I wondered what else was before us that has gone through rapid change to be part of our lives, without us even thinking about it. I loved them! Old scales, old timers, tickers and glowing button, big goggles and cabinets of glassware. With rapid advancements, computers and machines become archaic so quickly, yet many of these relics were still on my lab bench. Also, I began to get really interested in the evolution of technology and science after working in a research lab and finding old laboratory equipment in the cupboards. ![]()
