clockwork spacecraft. I mean, they were mechanical spacecraft because you can build mechanical components that can work at very high temperatures. Electronics , especially in the 1970s, were not ready to operate at those kinds of conditions.And the Russians, being the Russians, built these big, robust spacecraft that basically worked with these mechanical systems and were able to take measurements
really began in 1994 and if you can imagine I am the Chief Financial Officer of uh Silicon Valley company called electronics for Imaging that company is still around and I had taken that company public and I was sitting in myoffice one day and my phone rings and I pick up the phone and on the other end
is located deep underground in Luray Caverns in Virginia in the 1950s a mathematician and electronics engineer named gloriously named Leland sprinklefigured out that if you tap on a stalactite in a cave with a rubber
So the question, of course, is, what if we combine those two things? Electronics is cheap. Sorry?
So the question, of course, is, what if we combine those two things? Electronics is cheep. It isn't paper.
And the story I wanted to share about him was, late last year, he was supposed to give a presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.He was supposed to go on stage and give to talk about a Samsung product.
Products, in some cases. Electronics . Right. And yeah, so we basically set a goal.In our case, we were going out for $8,500, which was going to fund the printing and the supplemental little rewards that would be given to people that would be supporters.
Sorry if I'm embarrassing you, Dan. electronics , and we're going to say the most about Technical Bulletin 117.
If you pop the hood on it, it turns out that it's basically an aluminum frame in which we pack an insane amount of electronics and sensors and other things into.Basically, one of the things here that's kind of interesting is for these it actually uses alkaline battery packs.
And the most significant part about Grow NYC is that out of those 64 markets 49 of them accept what's called EBT -- electronics benefits transfer. You'll hear me talk a little bit more about this.
designed all their special effects guitars um starting off early in his career as he began to uh work with electronics then as he puts it he went legit and uh I was looking up some of the games that I whether I'd played themor not he worked uh on electronic toys at Milton Bradley worked on super Simon
me understand how it worked and I got it working and I was so proud of myself and I was fascinated by Electronics I was fascinated by the idea of electrical signals moving andchanging inside that little computer as I turned the dials I got me a little meter and I would put the meter at
on something. You go, "Ooh. Oh, shoot! I hooked it up wrong." You pull it back, you plug it in the right way -- it'll probably still work. Electronics are being built more and more robust every day.So don't worry about it. If it sparks, unplug it, right?
started from as Zach mentioned he he started the rep WAP Research Foundation he's actually the the electronics that are on here are actually the same electronics that will work on a rep rap and uh the cool thing about it is that it's literally a machine made to makeother machines just like it it's a little bit of a chicken and egg problem though if you want a machine that's been
everything out there these are the uh these are the actual laser cutting files in qcad and um we've also got the electronics are on the internet with you could literally if you wanted to have these boards made yourself you could send them off if you wanted to doeverything yourself you could do it without us no big deal um it would actually probably be cheaper to get all the parts from us but for those people
commonly available and cheap so ATX power supplies really fit that bill pretty nicely um below that there's the electronics kits so uh right now they come as little kits that you solder up yourself which are um which is prettyfun and uh we're working on getting those manufactured that's happening right now which is really exciting to to have that happen uh next to that to the
pretty crude by today's standards you know 200 pixels on a side you have to understand that in those days with the electronics they had it took 8 and a half hours to transmit one image and soit took the better part of a week to receive or more than that to receive all
I mean, and I'm just having some new realizations as we're sitting here, but I'm just like, that's pretty weird. and electronics everywhere. Anyways.
it was in Silicon Valley. The electronics industry validated new ways to think about capitalism since it, unlike any previous leading sector, depended on short-term, flexible workforces, depended on venture capital, depended on new lean ways of manufacturing,
consumer electronics and biotech.
Obvious electronics -- computers and things like that.
of electronics . So, it's often depicted in this lovely translucence. And I think one reason Voyager was so attractive was that its round shape suggested a little Earth,
behave I didn't realize at the time but it was a powerful socializing experience and and as I did that I continued studying Electronics because I still didn't really have much for friends outside of outside of the musicians and got better and better at it well by the time I was 20 years old I'd probably
We all need blinky stuff for burning man. So I like to think that there's some of our stuff out there. So we're going to talk about couple of examples. Wearable electronics . So the one on the left has what's called the "LilyPad." Some really interesting embedded electronics developed by Dr. Leah Buechley. She's in the media lab now. You sew with conductive thread, right? And you can put this into your clothing.
of electronics but this is one of my favorites uh when I was a high school student growing up in New York I would
Everyone from electronics giants to oil companies were trying to make a better battery, because they knew that even just doubling the energy density could unlock
with no electronics , no safety gear-- so no life jackets, no nothing, just like they've been doing for thousands of years.
I don't have electronics in my bedroom.
I was taking electronics technology at VCIT when I switched.
It's not like electronics .
and CEO of Cornfield Electronics , with all these cool toys that people here can play with after.
So the consumer electronics started to get cheaper, and these DIY gadgets were replaced by electronic chips
It had some robots on the line there. But to understand the electronics industry is very, very simple. Every time someone says "robot," simply picture, instead, a migrant woman of color.
that these consumer electronics companies plugged into, that then biotech plugged into, that still-- I mean, think of how important Sequoia is to this day.
had fabulous developments in electronics and all kinds of materials and engineering components.
Watched a-- a consumer electronics CEO-- I was having a regular check-in with him one day.
They wanted an electronics research center that would be close to MIT.
stuff that's the electronics part and then the filament uh finally the filament is what creates your object and what you know eventually becomes the
um and what the electronics basically do in a 3D printer um oh that g moved it
for them to put electronics on and stuff and these kids in this redesign they just got rid of everything I just said
where all the um electronics are and so forth to dump the heat building up our battery
Shenzhen the giant Electronics Market looking for screens or looking for cases and they could say you should give us
transmission the the electronics in the car are exactly what comes in the in the
So moving from packaging electronics to dealing with problems of global poverty, of public health access, of design education,
was the most powerful electronics company in the world, announced the most expensive and complicated engineering project in history.
He taught himself electronics by kind of dismantling his parents' radio and somehow figured out a way to construct using this-- I think he found a motorcycle
When he took our electronics course, he did, as he's described here, he's a zealot to show what he could do with our little computer
We can build interdigitated electronics onto that material.
We can position these electronics into the neutral plane of our device.
But consumer electronics is fast-cycle stuff, right?
