NEW
TECHNOLOGIESSeptember 2016
Techie of the MonthLee FelsensteinLee Felsenstein (born 1945) is an American
computer engineer who played a central role in the
development of the personal computer. He was one
of the original members of the Homebrew Computer
Club and the designer of the Osborne 1, the first
mass-produced portable computer.
Before the Osborne, Felsenstein designed the Intel
8080 based "SOL"[1] computer from Processor Technology, thePennyWhistle[2][3] modem, and other
early "S-100 bus" era designs. His shared-memory alphanumeric video display design, the Processor
Technology VDM-1 video display module board, was widely copied and became the basis for the
standard display architecture of personal computers.
Many of his designs were leaders in reducing costs of computer technologies for the purpose of
making them available to large markets. His work featured a concern for the social impact of
technology and was influenced by the philosophy of Ivan Illich. Felsenstein was the engineer for the
Community Memory project, one of the earliest attempts to place networked computer terminals in
public places to facilitate social interactions among individuals, in the era before the commercial
Internet.
In 2016, Lee was made a Fellow of the Computer History Museum.
