From Boing Boing:
I love prototype technology. There's a magic in seeing what the original working model looked like, which makes so many systems instantly more-understandable to a lay person. Strip away the perfection and packaging, and you can see what's really going on.
In this video, Bill Hammack—professor of engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and part-time Engineer Guy for the Internet—demonstrates this effect by introducing us to a model of the world's first transistor.
