It's remarkable to see that even today, the same basic ideas of transferring information hasn't change much at all. All the same concepts we have now, we had then. We just used huge bulky iron tubes and steam engines, rather than compact computers and lengths of thin wire/glass cabling.
Certainly, as far as we've come, things back then had a certain charm to them you just can't get from modern hardware.

We still use pneumatic tubes at the hospital to transport medications, documents, samples, etc. Saves us all a serious amount of time. I've worked in other hospitals without tubes, and it sucks big time without these systems.

These systems are still in wide use in places where it's simply the easiest way to transmit sensitive material; in military installations and - for example, the Norwegian house of Parliament maintains a large and actively used system. Which I've played with.

Wow! What a great presentation. On point and informative and lacking the usual fat marble filler that you see in most speakers. Excellent! |
