This was a really good read. I went to the Tech school for computer information technology and we had to watch a movie called the Pirates of Silicone Hills. In the movie they showed exactly how Hewlitt-Packard started in their garage creating these machines. It was really interesting that Walt Disney of all people were one of their first customers! That says you're probably destined for success
From butt ugly shoes to phones, my how are Nokia has come! I am curious as to why so many of the nine biggest and old electronics companies come from Asia. Either way I say thank you to our Asian friends for inventing and marketing some of my favorite gizmos.
What a story. History is usually better than fiction. I guess all inventions happen in this way. These guys changed the whole world. They started the formats from which all our tech is based on.
IBM started as a producer of card puncher hardware, and automatic slicers, and their factory building looks quite small. It is very interesting to see that this company along with samsung, nokia and motorla all have atleast very clsoe to 100 years under their belt. They all started out as completely different companies from what they do today. It was neat to hear how motorola begna by producing car radio technology. Mokia, however, was a rubber plant and now crossed an industry boundary into electronics. Very impressive to me. These companies were able to start with one idea and mold their products with the tiems to always be revolutionizing our current technology in one way or another, and look where it has gotten them, all of which are fortune companies.

ReplyDeleteI really appreciated that link. My Corporation-bred cynicism makes me forget that they often start from humble beginnings.
