If you had a time machine...

1920's really would be interesting, even right here where I live in the pre-predecessor company where I currently work at. However, the time machine better also be working the other direction...

According to Futurama logic, the universe/big-bang is an oscillation that repeats at a fixed frequency. All one has to do is travel forward in time to the same point in the next oscillation for things to remain coherent.

True... But interestingly, as much as I can understand/grasp this concept of a repeating Big-Bang after re-collapsing on itself again, I feel that
there is absolutely no suggestion/thought that the 'new' expansion will follow anything like the same path/structure, or even the same 'Laws'! 8)

Don't panic. Just remember to bring a towel.
Oh, wait...

I think one of the most interesting times to be in electronics would be the roughly 25 years from the end of WW II through the Apollo era. That time saw the birth of the transistor and microelectronics, the rapid growth of consumer electronics and broadcasting that had been on hold during the war, the development of modern computers. missiles and space exploration, and the widespread commercial deployment of technologies developed during the war such as atomic power, radar, microwave communications and jet aircraft.

I was there, at least at the end of that era.
What was cool about that time is that we were trying to figure out how to make our TVs as thin as picture frames on the wall, how to make our computers fit in the palm of our hands, how to make a worldwide digital network infrastructure.
We were devising ways of destroying that very present so that we could make way for the future.
