What is electronic / biomedical engineering?
“…An inexpensive instrument, not bigger than a watch, will enable its bearer to hear anywhere, on sea or land, music or song, the speech of a political leader, the address of an eminent man of science, or the sermon of an eloquent clergyman, delivered in some other place, however distant. In the same manner any picture, character, drawing, or print can be transferred from one to another place…”
First there was the vision…
Nikola Tesla, 1908
Not everyone got it right…
• “I do not think that the wireless waves I have discovered will have any practical application”
• “This ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us”
• “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers”
Heinrich Hertz, creator of radio waves
Western Union internal memo, 1876
Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943
