Birth of a Tech Nerd
Ever since my first EE lab in college in the late 70’s, when I worked after hours to get a Radio Shack TRS-80 personal computer to plot a simple sine wave made of asterisks across the computer screen, I’ve been enthralled by tech.
And then there was the time that, while laying in my dorm room, bored on a Saturday night, I got it into my head that I could create a “digital oscilloscope” by daisy chaining some 747 op amps configured as voltage comparators.
